Distinguishable features

The Trimble DA2 is a Catalyst subscription based receiver. Catalyst can be used worldwide but various accuracy levels will have different infrastructure requirements. Since high-accuracy GNSS solutions require a correction source to correct position errors caused by the atmosphere there must be a way for the Catalyst receiver to get these corrections. The DA2 is software-controlled signal management with dynamic (virtual) channel allocation.
