Firmware Updates and Model Upgrades

A local NovAtel dealer can provide all the information needed to upgrade or update a receiver. Refer to novatel.com/contactus/sales-offices for contact information or contact sales.nov.ap@hexagon.com or support.novatel@hexagon.com directly.

Firmware Updates

Firmware updates are firmware releases that include fixes and enhancements to the receiver functionality. Firmware updates are released on the NovAtel web site as they become available. Firmware upgrades can be performed using the WinLoad utility, SoftLoad commands, Manage Web, NovAtel Application Suite or with a custom loader application. Contact NovAtel Customer Support (support.novatel@hexagon.com) for details on custom loader requirements.

Model Upgrades

Model upgrades enable purchased receiver features.

Contact a local NovAtel dealer to assist in selecting the upgrade options that best suit your GNSS needs at novatel.com/contactus/dealer-network. Contact NovAtel Customer Support novatel.com/support or novatel.com/contactus/sales-offices to request a temporary upgrade authorization code for trial purposes.

Model upgrades can be applied to the receiver with an authorization code and the AUTH command without returning the receiver to the dealer.
