Altus Positioning Systems Introduces New Portable Integrated System for GIS Applications
TORRANCE, Calif. - Altus Positioning Systems announces its new handheld ProCyon system for GIS applications.
The new ProCyon from Altus integrates the flexible, rugged Psion WORKABOUT PRO handheld computer with Altus' APS-3 RTK GNSS receiver for a powerful GIS data-acquisition platform.
The ProCyon system delivers one-centimeter RTK accuracy using an external antenna, integrated camera and quad-band GSM modem. Additionally, the ProCyon has hardware expansion slots, making the addition of new modules fast and easy, as well as a range of available add-ons, including fingerprint scanners and the largest selection of RFID readers on any handheld device.
