Its powerful GNSS engine enables fast satellite acquisition, improved signal tracking, and consistent RTK performance.
Whether you are establishing control points, performing topographic surveys, conducting boundary work, or supporting construction layout operations, the CHCNAV iBase provides the precision and reliability professionals require.
Designed for Maximum Field Efficiency
Field productivity depends heavily on fast setup and dependable performance. The CHCNAV iBase is designed to reduce setup time and improve operational efficiency.
Its compact design, lightweight construction, and integrated communication modules allow crews to quickly deploy and begin collecting reliable correction data. With built-in UHF radio, 4G cellular capability, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connectivity, the iBase gives operators flexible communication options for virtually any workflow.
This flexibility makes the iBase suitable for both traditional radio RTK operations and network-connected correction services.
Powerful GNSS Performance
The CHCNAV iBase utilizes a high-performance 1408-channel GNSS engine, enabling full tracking of multiple global navigation satellite systems simultaneously.
Supported constellations include:
- GPS
- GLONASS
- Galileo
- BeiDou
- QZSS
- SBAS
This multi-constellation support improves satellite availability, positioning reliability, and RTK performance in difficult environments such as urban areas, partially obstructed sites, and heavily developed job locations.
The result is faster initialization and highly dependable centimeter-level accuracy.
Reliable Long-Range RTK Communications
One of the strongest advantages of the CHCNAV iBase is its advanced communication capability.
The integrated 5W UHF radio enables long-range correction transmission for demanding RTK applications. Combined with cellular communication options, crews can maintain strong and stable correction links across large jobsites and project areas.
Communication options include:
- Integrated 5W UHF radio
- 4G LTE cellular
- Bluetooth
- Wi-Fi
- NFC
This ensures flexibility for a wide range of surveying and construction workflows.
Built for Tough Jobsite Conditions
Surveying equipment must perform reliably in harsh field conditions. The CHCNAV iBase is built with durability in mind.
