Do you still make the PPK (stop and go) collection in the field by GIS handheld because of the lack of network CORS connection? Now, it is the time to get rid of this old and low efficient work mode.
S100 Bluetooth portable radio will be a better solution for GIS handheld users. It will make your GIS handheld become RTK/RTD rover.
What is portable radio?
Let’s see this smart radio.
S100 is a portable radio with smart Linux operating system, Bluetooth and wireless module, build-in 5500mAh battery. It can receive the radio signal with the longest distance of 8km, ensuring the same operating range as the RTK internal radio and supporting various radio protocols such as Trimble and SOUTH. S100 can be used with S660P and Polar handheld, so that these GNSS device can reach higher accurate position with base radio correction.
Now, surveyors can wear the jacket and put the S100 portable radio inside the pocket, just set up your own base receiver to transmit the correction with radio, the X6 handheld would always be fixed solution within 8km (in good condition).
How it works?
After setting the signal receiving channel and frequency of the S100 radio, put it into the pocket of the working vest. The X6 handheld uses its own positioning function, at the same time connecting to the wireless network sent by the S100, receives the differential signal of the radio through the WIFI, and the main board receives the signal and reaches fixed solution. It can be used for high-precision measurement work within 8 km.
Is it easy to configure the radio?
The S100 is based on the Linux platform, users can check and set the radio channels and protocol by the LCD display and buttons. And if the users need to change the frequencies and other settings, just connect the Wi-Fi of S100 and open the webUI of it, it is the same operation procedure as RTK receiver.
Is there any negative influence to the surveyors who take this radio?
The S100 is just a receiving portable radio and cannot transmit signal, so the power consumption is low and will not have any bad influence even close contact for a long time.
