Light and compact, the B110 dual-frequency positioning receiver board features the new Vanguard ASIC system and can support 226 universal channels for GPS, GLONASS and Galileo tracking and scalable positioning.

The B110 board’s small size, low power consumption and versatile communication interfaces make it easy to integrate into any precise positioning application. It features a high performance RTK engine and a position update rate of 100Hz, as well as SD/MMC card interfaces for quick and easy support for data logging.

The new HiPer SR is an advanced GNSS RTK receiver and is also compact and lightweight. This high-accuracy RTK technology is cable-free and simple to operate, delivering a 300m working radius through Topcon’s new LongLink technology. Rugged and durable, the system provides reliable and interference-free RTK base-to-rover communications that do not require an FCC license to operate. Topcon’s Vanguard GNSS chip offers support for all modernised GNSS constellations and incorporates the firm’s patented Universal Tracking Channel technology. This capability allows multi-constellation tracking but with lower power consumption and system weight compared with earlier generation systems.
