Core Capabilities - Flexibility with Value

GEM's product families are carefully designed to offer you a range of non-overlapping capabilities so that you can select the ideal system for your application, sensitivity needs, budget, upgrade pathway, etc.

The following table shows a summary of Core Capabilities for the QuickTracker™ , Overhauser, SuperSenser™ and SuperGrad™ technologies. (To see how each of these technologies relates to your survey needs, you may want to have a quick look at the Application Configurator).

Core capabilities are organized in terms of the criteria that deliver our customers the most flexibility and value, namely:

  • Performance
  • Operating Mode
  • Data and Input / Output
  • Mechanical / Power
  • Maintenance and Support
  • Environmental
  • Shipped Component

After comparing the capabilities for each system, you may also want to refer to our information on Options, which includes:

  • Building Blocks
  • Sensor Options
  • GPS Options
  • GPS Navigation Options
  • Software Solutions
