FAQ
Compared to other brands, Reach RS3 offers greater versatility: it is not just a base station but a full-fledged GNSS receiver capable of supporting high-precision terrestrial applications in construction, civil engineering, boundary surveys, topography, and mapping.
Additionally, the Reach RS3 transmits base corrections in the RTCM3 format through the Emlid NTRIP Caster over the internet. This enables the use of GNSS receivers from other brands that support RTCM3 as rovers with the Reach RS3 as the base.
The software might also play a significant role in making a decision. Our Emlid Flow mobile app has a bunch of features that can come in handy on construction sites:
• DXF import/export. You can import your CAD drawings in the DXF format into Emlid Flow and Emlid Flow 360 for stakeout in the field. You can also export the collected data to the AutoCAD using the same format.
• Lines & Polygons. The app allows you to collect and stake out lines and polygons, not just points. This is helpful when laying out linear or closed-loop structures such as pipelines, roads, boundaries, etc.
• Stakeout reports. You can collect points while staking out and export deltas in the CSV format. This helps oversee projects, prepare as-builts, and assure quality.
• Localization and support of multiple coordinate systems. You can select the appropriate coordinate system for your project from our registry: we support plenty of official coordinate systems in the USA. You can also convert to your local coordinate system established on site by measurements on benchmarks.
• Surface stakeout. This feature lets you import the LandXML surfaces and see the cut/fill values in real time, which is handy for earthworks.
If RTK over LoRa is not feasible, you can rely on PPK (Post-Processed Kinematics). Reach RS3 records raw data logs while collecting points with meter-level accuracy. These logs, along with a CSV file containing the collected points, can then be processed using our free Emlid Studio software to achieve centimeter-level accuracy. This process is known as the Stop & Go workflow. You can learn more about it in our guide.
In addition to tilt compensation, the Reach RS3 includes a built-in UHF radio that supports receiving corrections from third-party bases or modems using the TRIMTALK protocol. It also features an improved Li-Ion battery for enhanced performance and extended usage.
• RTK over NTRIP. We provide free Emlid NTRIP Caster service to set up an RTK link between the base and the rover. Both receivers must connect to the internet for this, thus, you need to have decent cellular coverage on mapping sites.
• RTK over LoRa. Reach RS3 has a built-in LoRa radio that allows you to create an RTK link in remote areas with poor or no cellular coverage. LoRa is a low-power radio so it performs its best when there are no obstacles in a line of sight between the units and the terrain is flat.
• Stop & Go workflow. This is handy when the RTK over NTRIP or LoRa is not feasible. Both units collect raw data logs, while you capture GCPs with a few-meter accuracy without RTK link. Then you process these logs along with the CSV file from Emlid Flow to enhance their accuracy to the first few centimeters in our free Emlid Studio software.
The device operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -4°F to 149°F and is waterproof up to a depth of approximately 3.3 feet. Silicone plugs ensure all connectors are sealed and protected from water and dust.
