Leica GS18 World's Fastest GNSS RTK Rover

Leica GS18 GNSS RTK Rover for sale, a self-learning GNSS smart antenna. GS18 inherits all features of the Leica GS18 T except tilt compensation. However, the GS18 grows with your business: upgrade it to a tilt compensating system at any time. You save time by no longer needing to hold the pole vertical to level the bubble. This latest innovation, with industry-leading technology, combines GNSS and inertial measurement units (IMUs) to be the first true tilt compensation solution immune to magnetic disturbances and it is calibration-free.

Leica GS18T LTE&UHF Performance GNSS SmartAntenna (GPS/L5 Only) : US$11,400
Leica GS18T LTE&UHF Performance GNSS SmartAntenna (GPS/GLONASS/L5) : US$12,900
Leica GS18T LTE&UHF Performance GNSS SmartAntenna (GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/BeiDou/L5) : US$14.400

As you no longer need to watch and level the bubble, you can focus on your task at hand and save time over conventional surveying practices. Uninterrupted, accurate positioning when surrounded by or in close proximity to metallic objects – measure where others simply couldn’t before. The GS18T works directly out of the box without any calibration procedure.

The GS18 is an excellent companion to a surveyor that primarily works with a network RTK such as HxGN SmartNet. Like most of the Leica Geosystems GNSS smart antennas, the GS18 works as a rover and a base.

TILT COMPENSATION UPGRADE: Whenever you need the efficiency and safety improvements gained from tilted measurements, upgrade your GS18 to a tilt compensating rover. Any Leica Geosystems service can do the upgrade at any time.
ENGAGING SOFTWARE: The Leica Captivate field software is the perfect companion for the GS18. With easy-to-use apps, all measured and design data can be viewed and used, providing you with a clear understanding of your data in 2D and 3D view. Captivate spans industries and applications with little more than a simple tap, regardless of whether you work with GNSS, total stations or both.
IMPROVED PERFORMANCE: Multipath reduction and interference mitigation options in Captivate boost GNSS signal tracking quality under harsh environments, which improves RTK availability and accuracy. Also, an interference toolkit will enable filtering to remove in- and out-of-band distortions for even more robust GNSS signal tracking.
4G LTE & EXCELLENT MEASUREMENT QUALITY: Tracking multi-frequency signals comes as a standard to all Leica Geosystems GS sensors. Combined with an excellent GNSS antenna element and a position update rate of 20 Hz, the GS18 ensures reliable measurement quality.
INTERNAL MEMORY: Users with any GS18 model have the flexibility to log raw data into an SD card or the internal memory.
ACTIVE CUSTOMER CARE: Through Active Customer Care (ACC), a global network of experienced professionals is only a click away to guide you through any challenge. Control your costs with a Customer Care Package (CCP) which gives you peace of mind you are covered anywhere, anytime.
