Precision satellite surveying
 |
The Altus Positioning Systems APS-3 is a high precision satellite receiver and communications unit specifically designed for the surveying market. It uses the AsteRx2 GNSS engine from Septentrio which measures both GPS and Glonass constellations for robust and accurate satellite positioning. The advanced receiver technology includes Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring, Multipath Estimation, and a standard output rate up to 10 Hz. With the internal radio designed into each product, any unit may be configured as a local base station to transmit corrections for RTK surveys without any change in hardware. Surveyors have a choice of communications options that include: a GSM/GPRS modem for connecting to Real Time Reference Station Networks, a choice of either digital Spread Spectrum (900 MHz) or digital UHF (450 - 470 MHz) radios for local data transmissions, or the option to use an external radio through a serial port. For ultra portability and data management, the product logs raw data onto a removable SD card that is accessed easily through a convenient door. Integrated Bluetooth provides cable-free operation for use with a pole-mounted data collection system with the ease of use and portability required for survey/GIS applications.
