Furuno GPS021S DGPS Antenna

Precision Positioning for Demanding Marine Environments

Enhance your vessel's navigational accuracy with the Furuno GPS021S DGPS antenna, a robust H-field design engineered for superior signal reception. This antenna stands out in challenging conditions where standard GPS units falter, delivering reliable differential corrections that sharpen your position data to within meters. Mariners trust it for everything from coastal cruising to offshore operations, ensuring safer passages through fog, heavy weather, or congested waterways.

What sets this antenna apart is its specialized H-field technology, which minimizes multipath errors from nearby structures like masts or superstructures. Unlike conventional antennas, it focuses on the magnetic component of GPS signals, providing cleaner data feeds to your Furuno chartplotter or multifunction display. Pair it with compatible receivers for seamless integration into your existing setup, unlocking pinpoint accuracy without the hassle of frequent recalibrations.

Key Features That Deliver Real-World Performance

• High-Sensitivity H-Field Reception: Captures weak signals effectively, even under overhangs or in urban coastal areas.
• DGPS Compatibility: Supports differential corrections for sub-meter precision, ideal for precise anchoring or docking.
• Rugged Marine Build: IPX7 waterproof rating withstands heavy rain, salt spray, and deck washdowns.
• Compact Footprint: Low-profile design reduces windage and simplifies mounting on rails, arches, or flat surfaces.
• Wide Frequency Support: Handles GPS L1 and DGPS beacons, future-proofing your system for evolving standards.

Users report fewer signal dropouts during long voyages, translating to confidence-boosting reliability. Its passive design draws no power, making it a low-maintenance addition that won't strain your electrical system.

Ideal Applications Across Marine Sectors

From commercial fishing fleets plotting optimal trawls to recreational sailors navigating tricky inlets, the Furuno GPS021S excels where precision matters most. It's a go-to for search and rescue teams needing exact coordinates, survey vessels mapping seabeds, and superyachts demanding flawless integration with autopilot systems.

Why Choose H-Field Over Traditional Antennas?

Traditional patch antennas struggle with reflections off metal surfaces, leading to jittery position fixes. The H-field approach cuts through this noise, offering smoother tracks and faster acquisition times—critical when seconds count in tight maneuvers.

Effortless Installation and Long-Term Reliability

Mounting is straightforward with included hardware: secure it to a stable base away from obstructions, route the coaxial cable neatly, and connect to your receiver. Pro tip: Position it high and clear of radar domes for optimal sky view. Regular lens wipes keep it performing like new, and its corrosion-resistant materials shrug off years of exposure.

For troubleshooting, check cable integrity first—most issues stem from pinched lines or loose fittings. This antenna's durability means fewer replacements, saving time and resources on the water.

Boost Your System's Potential

Integrating the GPS021S elevates your Furuno ecosystem, feeding ultra-accurate data to ECDIS, AIS, or radar overlays. Experience tighter route following, reduced fuel burn from optimized paths, and peace of mind knowing your position is rock-solid, even in GPS-denied zones with DGPS fallback.
