Emlid RX and RS3 Base + Starter kit

The Core of the System: RS3 Receiver

Each RS3 unit in your kit is a powerful and versatile tool, capable of acting as a base station or a rover with a simple change of mode in the field app.

Key Features of the RS3 Receiver:

• Multi-Band, Multi-Constellation GNSS: Tracks all major satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, SBAS) across multiple frequencies (L1/L2/L5). This ensures fast and reliable centimeter-level accuracy anywhere in the world, even in challenging environments.

• Built-In LoRa Radio: Communicate with your rover over long distances (up to 8 km / 5 miles line-of-sight) without needing cellular service or external radios.

• Cellular & Wi-Fi Connectivity: Stream RTK corrections via the internet (NTRIP) using the built-in 4G LTE modem or a local Wi-Fi network.

• Web Interface & Mobile App: Easily configure and manage your RS3 using any modern web browser on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. No proprietary, complicated software is required.

• Long-Lasting Battery: A high-capacity 6,900 mAh battery provides up to 22 hours of continuous operation on a single charge.

• Durable and Rugged: IP67-rated for water and dust resistance, built to withstand the rigors of the job site.

• Internal Data Storage: Log raw satellite data internally to an SD card for Post-Processing Kinematic (PPK) workflows.

Key features of Emlid RX:

• High Accuracy: When used with correction data (from a base station or NTRIP service), it can achieve centimeter-level accuracy.

• Multi-Band & Multi-Constellation: It receives signals from multiple satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) and on multiple frequencies, which is essential for high-precision work.

• RTK & PPK Capable: It supports both Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK) workflows, offering flexibility in the field.

• Common Use Cases: It’s widely used in applications like drone mapping (UAV), surveying, agriculture, and GIS data collection where precise location data is critical.

In simple terms, the Emlid RX is a powerful tool that turns a smartphone, tablet, or drone into a professional-grade, centimeter-accurate GPS receiver without the high cost of traditional survey equipment. It is often used as a rover in a system with an Emlid RS2+ or RS3 acting as the base station.
