Product Description
Carlson BRx7 Base and Rover GPS System.
The BRx7 GNSS receiver with SurvCE/SurvPC delivers a modern and flexible GNSSRTK product for precision surveys, with an intuitive and familiar application software. The lightweight BRx7 receiver may be used as a Base or Rover.
The BRx7 provides a class-leading 800+ channels, 8gb of memory, tilt compensating ability, and a rugged, compact, IP67-rated housing. Best-in-class RTK performance is provided by the Athena GNSS engine, supporting multi-frequency GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, IRNSS, and Atlas L-band capability. The BRx7 has an integrated dual-band UHF transceiver and a Quad-Band GSM modem together with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
The BRx7 GNSS receiver with Carlson SurvCE/SurvPC delivers a modern and flexible GNSS RTK product for precision surveys, with an intuitive and familiar application software. Typical applications include Topographic and Engineering Surveys, Construction, Mapping and GIS.
SUREFIX®
SureFix works with the GNSS engine to provide high-fidelity RTK quality information, resulting in improved RTK accuracy, availability, and guaranteed precision with virtually 100% reliability. Particularly helpful when working near or under canopy, the SureFix processor takes several inputs and determines the quality of the RTK solution. This additional process provides the user with high-fidelity information about the quality of the RTK solution, and an invaluable indicator of current accuracy.
CARLSON LISTEN-LISTEN READY
Carlson Listen-Listen is a unique cloud based low latency service available to Carlson SurvCE/PC customers using Carlson’s BRx7 or NR3 GNSS receiver as a base station. The system eliminates baseline length restrictions encountered when using UHF radios, supports single base and multiple simultaneous rover connections, and is hosted through Amazon Web Services for unlimited processing power, speed, and bandwidth.
BRx7 customers using Carlson SurvCE/PC are granted a one-time, 6-month trial of Carlson Listen-Listen.
