It is the world’s first G3 (GPS, Glonass, Galileo) capable GNSS receiver - a clear indication of Topcon’s technology leadership in the satellite positioning industry!
Topcon GR-3 Triple Constellation RTK GPS
GPS receiver design has taken a quantum leap forward with the new GR-3. It starts with 72 “universal” channels that support all current and planned satellite positioning signals. Then there’s the micro-tuned, precision antenna capable of receiving all G3 positioning signals with Topcon’s patented centre-mount radio antenna for superior signal tracking and interference reduction.The new GR-3 is now available with a digital UHF radio system utilising DSP technology. This technological advancement delivers far greater reliability and performance than older analog UHF technology of the past.
The GR-3 receiver incorporates a unique dual communication system, featuring both cellular and radio technology. Offering a 915 MgHz Spread Spectrum internal Tx/Rx or Digital UHF radio, the GR-3 can serve roles as either an RTK base or rover system. And by utilising the optional internal GSM/GPRS modem communication system via the easily accessible cellular SIM card slot, a user can extend their range far beyond radio capability or utilise both receivers as rover systems off a fixed base station or a network system.
The rugged magnesium I-beam construction is designed for unbeatable strength & durability – built to withstand a 2m pole drop onto concrete! The GR-3 also boasts easily accessible SD card memory and dual hot-swappable batteries for unlimited continuous operation. Internal Bluetooth wireless technology provides GR-3 users with the advantages of a completely cable-free system with any Topcon field controller.
