265 Leica Geosystems is now offering a smart, versatile antenna for use in GNSS monitoring applications. The firm says that this high-quality device is customisable to fit a wide array of project requirements.

The unit is sophisticated, while offering reliability and ease-of-use and combines both GNSS antenna and receiver.

The new smart antenna can be used for monitoring installations in static, long-term projects. The unit can also enable dynamic monitoring with up to 10Hz data streaming and multi-frequency, multi-constellation tracking. Starting with the basic GPS single frequency receiver and adding multiple upgradable options, this antenna can be used for a wide range of monitoring projects. The antenna supports multiple GNSS satellite systems and signals and can track up to 555 channels.

The smart antenna is also fully integrated in the Leica GeoMoS deformation monitoring solution and connects to the Leica GNSS Spider system for GNSS processing duties.
