Budapest, July 8th, 2024
Emlid, the European manufacturer of Reach GNSS receivers, announces an upgrade to its ultralight Reach RX Network RTK rover. The new generation of devices is updated with MFi (Made for iPhone/iPad) certification and is fully compatible with ArcGIS, QGIS, and other GIS apps for both iOS and Android. Flawless Reach RX integration into GIS workflows will help industry professionals and teams collect accurate geodata at scale.
Emlid Reach RX is a lightweight multi-band RTK rover with centimeter-level accuracy and robust performance even in complex urban environments.
Centimeter-level accuracy for GIS projects
Emlid Reach RX is an ultralight RTK GNSS rover that provides precise positioning while receiving corrections via NTRIP. The device tracks GPS/QZSS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou, and it gets a fix in under five seconds, delivering centimeter-level accuracy even in challenging conditions.
The rover doesn’t require configuration or additional training—to kick off, surveyors only need to add NTRIP credentials. With its intuitive and straightforward workflow, Reach RX allows anyone on the team to achieve high precision for engineering, utility inspection, landscaping, and other projects of any scale.
The new-gen Reach RX rover integrates with all popular GIS apps on both iOS and Android. Upgraded with MFi certification, it already works with ArcGIS Field Maps and will soon be compatible with QField, Blue Marble’s Global Mapper, Mergin Maps, Avenza Maps, and more.
Sleek solution for GIS pro-s who are always on the go
The Reach RX rover only weighs 250 grams and can be carried in a backpack pocket. The battery provides 16 hours of operation on a single charge and can be recharged from a power bank. The receiver works in a variety of survival environments. The IP68-rated rover is waterproof, dustproof, and withstands temperatures from -20 to +65°C (-4 to 149°F).
The upgraded Reach RX rover is available in the official Emlid store or via the dealer network.
