OEMV FIRMWARE UPGRADES

Firmware upgrades are firmware releases, which increase basic functionality of the receiver from one model to a higher level model type. When available, upgrades may be purchased at a price, which is the difference between the two model types on the current NovAtel GPS Price List plus a nominal service charge.
