It seems to be an L1/L2 dual frequency surveying receiver.
Searching for "minimac 2816", without the "AT", seemed to produce a few
more results with the following from 1988 amongst them....

---------------
A new portable dual-frequency Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver is
being delivered to customers by Aero Service. The MINI-MAC Model 2816
receiver is lightweigt, portable, and designed for operation by one person in
field environments. The receiver is packaged to withstand harsh
environmental conditions and deliver dual-frequency data of the highest quality.
Decoded broadcast ephemerides allow for field data. Time and pseudoranges
obtained via the unit’s coarse/acquisition (C/A) code L1 capability are used to
obtain precise time synchronization. The receivers record on canonical times,
so it is not necessary to start different receivers at the same time in
order to maintain synchronous phase observations. The MINI-MAC 2816 Surveyor
is capable of tracking up to eight satellites simultaneously using C/A code
on L1 and Aero’s proven proprietary codeless methods on L2. An L1-only
version, Model 1816, is also available. Phase lock can be maintained on up to
eight satellites in kinematic operations. The receiver is designed for
future implementation of kinematic software without any required hardware
changes. Various aspects of the receiver are discussed and details of a number of
field results are provided.
