Congratulations on purchasing your MiLLennium-GLONASS positioning system. The MiLLennium-GLONASS
GPSCard is the latest example of NovAtel’s line of state-of-the-art technology, in an easy-to-integrate single-card

NovAtel RT-10.
The MiLLennium-GLONASS is a tightly-integrated system that provides a positioning system that meets the
accuracy requirements of many applications on a single hardware platform.
