Magnavox Introduces (continued) modular telephone connectors per- mit plugging in standard telephone instruments and interconnect equipment such as data modems, facsimile machines and PABXs without requiring optional inter- faces. Also built in are interfaces for all planned INMARSAT and IMO capabilities, including the En- hanced Group Call Receiver.

Options include popular SatCom peripherals and accessories—200 to 9,600 bps modems, standby power sources, a magnetic compass head- ing sensor, and Busiship Integrated

Ship Management and Communica- tions System.

The MX 2400 exceeds INMAR-

SAT'S environmental performance recommendations and meets inter- nationally accepted standards for reducing electromagnetic interfer- ence.

GPS/Transit SatNav

Receivers

Four new satellite navigation re- ceivers from Magnavox offer both

GPS (Global Positioning System) and Transit capabilities in the same unit. Called the MX 1100-GPS se- ries, these navigators combine GPS and Transit satellite data to gener- ate position information. Further, speed and heading sensors are used to dead reckon between Transit fixes. Both navaids are integrated with dead reckoning for enhanced accuracy and availability.

GPS permit precise, continuous worldwide 2-D navigation whenever three or more satellites are avail- able. When the full 18 satellite con- stellation is operational, GPS will provide continuous, accurate navi- gation 24 hours a day. In the inter- im, large gaps in GPS coverage exist every day. The integration of Tran- sit and dead reckoning with GPS assures the user that he will main- tain accurate navigation 24 hours a day. Synergism between Transit

Magnavox MX1100 Transit/GPS Navigator and GPS navigation improves the accuracy of each Transit satellite fix. In fact, the position accuracy achieved in this way generally ex- ceeds that available from indepen- dent GPS or Transit navigators.

The Magnavox integration ap- proach means GPS can be utilized immediately instead of postponing use until the 1989 operational date.

Using an MX 1100-GPS, the opera- tor can select between full screen displays of Transit and GPS naviga- tion or the receiver can automati- cally select the optimum navaid, based on satellite orbit configura- tion.

In its GPS mode, the Magnavox system provides course-over-ground (COG) and speed-over-ground (SOG) information, based on suc- (continued)
