So some questions about JAVAD TRIUMPH-2:
1) Are we correct in our understanding that for US$ 3,490, we can purchase a JAVAD Triumph-2 that includes dual frequency GPS + GLONASS, with 2GB on board data storage, and configurable via a JAVAD smartphone (Android & Apple) app?
Yes, that is correct. Additional information and screenshots of the apps in action is available on www.javad.com, Android and iOS.
2) Does that pricing include batteries and a charger?
Yes, the TRIUMPH-2 has an internal battery which operates for up to 25 hours. The package includes our External Power Supply/Charger.
3) What formats can static data be logged in?
Static data can be logged internally in the default .jps file format and/or BINEX format. A free RINEX converter, JPS2RIN, is available here. Both Windows and Linux versions of JPS2RIN are available. Externally, NetHub software could be used to log raw data to a PC, automatically convert the data to RINEX format, compress it and push it to FTP. NetHub software is also provided for free.
4) Can the data be downloaded for post-processing via third-party software (presumably in a RINEX format)?
Yes, using JPS2RIN or NetHub, you can convert the raw data to RINEX format.
5) Is the JAVAD smartphone app freeware? If not, how is the app pricing structured.
Both the Android app and iOS app are available for purchase for 20 USD.
6) Is the JAVAD DPOS a free service? If not how is DPOS pricing structured?
Yes, DPOS is a free service.
7) What is the battery life for logging static data at 5sec intervals?
The TRIUMPH-2’s battery life is up to 25 hours.
8) Is it possible to connect an external power supply?
Yes, absolutely.
9) Is it possible to connect an external modem? (E.g. NetComm NTC-6900, which we use for our current monitoring installation).
The TRIUMPH-2 could be connected to a NetComm NTC-6900 via Bluetooth using a Bluetooth to serial adapter. The TRIUMPH-2 could also be connected to other devices via Wi-Fi.
10) We’d also like to know more about JAVAD’s PC software please. How is software pricing structured? We are most interested in post-processing of static campaigns, but also continuous (and delayed or real-time) monitoring of permanently installed GNSS sensors.
Based on the requirements you’ve shared, Justin post processing software would be the ideal software to process your static campaigns. A demo version of Justin is available for you to download and install. It will process three demo projects which you can download as well. The video lessons here provide a terrific overview of the powerful features and functions packed into Justin. JAVAD GNSS does not currently offer a near real-time monitoring software package. However, our receivers are supported by 3rd party software providers such as Geo++.
11) How do we purchase JAVAD equipment in New Zealand? Do you have an agent in NZ or Australia?
You are welcome to purchase JAVAD GNSS solutions through the dealer you prefer or from JAVAD GNSS directly.
12) How would we get JAVAD equipment serviced or repaired in NZ?
JAVAD GNSS solutions are manufactured and serviced in San Jose, California. Should the TRIUMPH-2 experience a hardware failure, we would utilize our return material authorization (RMA) process to quickly receive, repair and return the receiver to you.
