New Z-Blade Technology
Z-Blade is new GNSS-centric signal
processing technology from Ashtech.
Z-Blade optimally processes all of the
available satellite signals, maximizing your
ability to obtain reliable GNSS position in
tough conditions.
Z-Blade allows you to get and maintain
RTK solutions even if GPS coverage is
insufcient. In many work locations just
a few GPS and GLONASS satellites
may be visible due to obstacles such as
trees or buildings. Thanks to Z-Blade
technology, ProFlex 800 can still deliver
high-quality positions to keep you
working productively.

Flexibility & Ruggedness
The ProFlex 800 offers a unique design with various mounting capabilities. It includes a
wide range of built-in communication options, internal removable battery, internal memory,
specic kits per application and full compatibility with various software solutions.
The weatherproof, high-impact-resistant molded aluminum housing ensures your investment
is safe in all conditions, which is especially important for onboard machine usage or base
station applications.
Adaptable to most any specic positioning usage, the ProFlex 800 is the ideal solution
for people looking for a single GNSS receiver for multiple applications.
Application Packages
Survey Backpack
Surveyors will appreciate ProFlex 800’s ability to operate in tougher environments than
ever before. The survey backpack kit includes a robust and comfortable water-resistant
backpack, a UHF pole and cable, a GPS cable, a second Li-ion battery and ofce
software for project and geoid management.
Onboard Machine Integration
Ready for system integration, ProFlex 800 is a great GNSS solution for OEM
manufacturers and VARs needing precise positioning for machine guidance/control
applications, such as agriculture, construction or mining. The kit includes all the cables
(serial cables, USB cable, 10 m GPS and UHF cable, power cable to connect on an
external battery) you need to build the right setup.
Base Station and Continuously Operating Reference Station
With its built-in Ethernet capability and embedded Web Server, you can access, control and
monitor ProFlex 800 from any computer connected to the Internet. Use the capability for
instant real-time multi-data streaming over Ethernet to build your own RTK corrections server
without any additional software or equipment. If a cellular network is available, ProFlex 800
offers surveyors an efcient alternative to RTK networks (public or private) eliminating radio
propagation issues.
Wireless communication
In addition to a 3.5G internal cellular modem, ProFlex 800 accommodates a wide variety
of UHF kits (internal and external UHF modules) providing stable and reliable wireless
communication between base and rover. ProFlex 800 even supports an internal transceiver
for ultimate exibility. It can then be used as a rover or a base without additional accessories
in the eld. Z-Blade long range RTK capability combined with industry-leading UHF
expertise ensure you maximal productivity.
