SAVANNAH, GA, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - (TSX: HEM) Today, Hemisphere GPS introduced the new A220 and A221 smart antennas at the ION GNSS 2009 Conference in Savannah, Georgia.

Fast start-up, reacquisition, and output rates enable the A220 and A221 to provide the best signal for visual guidance and automated steering applications. They are compatible with CORS and other RTK reference networks where open architecture formats such as RTCM v3 and CMR/CMR+ messages are provided. The A220 and A221 also offer Hemisphere GPS' patented SBAS satellite ranging technology that increases the total number of satellites in view for greater RTK speed and reliability.
