| Go L1/L2 RTK with the SXBlue III GPS! |
| The SXBlue III GPS uses innovative technology puts dual frequency RTK in one of the smallest packages ever. You get 51 channels of proven 1 cm RTK performance from a lightweight unit that fits in the palm of your hand, and that includes an integrated 8 hour battery! In addition to RTK, you also have the option of using L1 SBAS for sub-meter mapping that the SXBlue has built its reputation on. Having the choice of using either L1/L2 RTK for real-time centimeter accuracy or L1 SBAS for 60cm real-time mapping provides you the flexibility that no other unit of this size and price can offer you. |
| Accuracy and Productivity in One |
| The SXBlue III GPS takes real-time and High Accuracy GIS to the next level. Its accurate carrier phase measurements and leading edge multipath mitigation delivers 1 cm real-time positioning. With its superior tracking performance and innovative realtime positioning, that means no downtime even in harshest conditions, the SXBlue III maximizes your productivity by working directly within your framework (Esri, Autodesk, Carlson, CMT, Intergraph, MapInfo, TDS, etc.) both in the field and the office. |
| A Long Term Solution |
| Add a field computer that suits your application, an off-the-shelf software of your choice, and the SXBlue III GPS becomes the heart of a modular solution you can grow with. In today’s rapidly evolving technologies, its unique multi-port interface (independent Bluetooth, USB, RS-232 ports) helps to protect your long term investment by always allowing the use of up-to-date computer hardware, operating system and software. |
