Lauture is the “father of high-accuracy Bluetooth® GNSS.” He designed the pioneering SXBlue series product line that resulted in thousands of receivers being fielded for more than a decade.
More About the Arrow Series® and the Arrow 100® Subfoot GNSS Receiver
The Arrow Series® are a set of high-accuracy GNSS receivers supporting real-time field positioning at the submeter to centimeter level. They are compatible with all smartphones and tablet computers, including iOS, Android, Windows, and Windows Mobile, through Bluetooth®.
In addition to supporting SBAS in North/Central America, Europe, Northern Africa, Japan, India and Russia, the Arrow 100® also supports OmniSTAR’s world-wide, real-time sub-meter service.
Eos’s entry level product, the Arrow Lite®, had previously set a new standard for submeter GPS at an affordable entry point.
“You won’t find a better value for a high-accuracy, submeter GPS receiver that’s Bluetooth® compatible to work on any device.”
— Jean-Yves Lauture, CTO, Eos
The most advanced Arrow receiver, to be released soon, is the Arrow 200®, a dual frequency, multi-constellation RTK GNSS receiver capable of centimeter accuracy in real-time.
The Arrow 200® will be the first iOS-compatible RTK and OmniSTAR receiver in the world that works with all models of iPad®s and iPhone®s via wireless Bluetooth® connection. An iOS NTRIP app that allows the user to log into any RTK network is also available. The Arrow 200® will provide state-of-the-art RTK performance for years to come because it supports current and future satellite constellations: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS. It also supports OmniSTAR’s G2, XP and HP real-time world-wide decimeter services.

Thanks to universal Bluetooth® connectivity, a user can interface with any brand of smartphone or tablet, whether it’s iOS, Android, or Windows-based.
“The Arrow receivers can communicate up to one kilometer from the mobile device,” Lauture said.
In addition, Arrow Series® receivers have been optimized to run all day on battery power. The battery pack is field-replaceable and rechargeable separately. It contains smart charging logic, so special and expensive battery chargers are not needed.
Moreover, all Arrow Series® receivers have been designed to meet IP-67 specifications for immersion in water. They are completely dust-proof, to survive in the harshest environments.
The Arrow Series® receiver product line is targeted at professionals in the mapping and GIS communities who require high-accuracy location in the environmental, agricultural, utility (e.g., electric, gas, water), pipeline, archeological, surveying, machine-control, government (i.e., federal, state, provincial, local), and other sectors.
More advanced Arrow Series® receivers are being introduced and will employ dual frequency and multi-constellation tracking for all current constellations (e.g., GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, QZSS). This enables fast centimeter RTK performance.
