Dual frequency (L1+L2); 2. Positioning update greater than 5 Hz; 3. RTK: connection to a base station via radio link (UHF or GSM) or connection to a Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) via internet; 4. NMEA output; 5. Serial cable (RS232) is required, alternatively the GPS can be connected to the laptop via Bluetooth.  Maintenance plan 6 Cleaning Information 6.1Before  cleaning  any  external  parts  of  the  apparatus,  make  sure  that  all cables have been disconnected, including the power supply cable. If a damp cloth  is  used,  make  sure  it  is  not  too  wet,  to  avoid  any  damage  to  the electrical components of the equipment. Wait until the equipment is totally dry before reconnecting the cables. The Stream-C should be cleaned periodically using a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents. Do  not  apply  liquid  directly  to  the  electrical  contacts  of  the  various connectors.  If  a  specific  spray  is  used to  clean  the  PC  TFT  monitor,  make sure it is not flammable; in any case, do not spray it directly on the screen, instead, spray it onto the cleaning cloth.
