Unique 6G GNSS-centric Technology
Patented Z-Blade processing technology running on a next
generation Spectra Precision 240-channel 6G ASIC fully utilizes
all 6 GNSS systems: GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS and
SBAS. Unlike GPS-centric technology which requires a minimum
number of GPS satellites for GNSS processing, Z-Blades unique
GNSS-centric capability optimally combines GNSS signals without
dependency on any specic GNSS system; this allows SP80 to
operate in GPS-only, GLONASS-only or BeiDou-only mode if
needed. In addition, SP80 supports the recently approved RTCM
3.2 Multiple Signal Messages (MSM), a standardized denition
for broadcasting all GNSS signals from space, regardless of
their constellation. This protects the surveyor’s investment well
into the future by providing superior performance and improved
productivity as new signals become available.
SMS and Email Messaging
SP80 has a unique combination of communication technologies
including an integrated 3.5G GSM/UMTS modem, Bluetooth and Wi-
Fi connectivity, and optional internal UHF transmit radio. The cellular
modem may be used for SMS (text message) and e-mail alerts as well
as regular Internet or VRS connectivity. SMS (text messages) can be
used to monitor and congure the receiver. Likewise, SP80 can use all
available RTK correction sources and connect to the Internet from the
eld using WiFi hotspots, where available. The internal UHF transmit/
receive radio allows for quick and easy setup as a local base station.
This saves time and increases the surveyor’s efciency.
Anti-Theft Protection
A unique anti-theft technology secures SP80
when installed as a eld base station in remote
or public places and can detect if the product is
disturbed, moved or stolen. This technology allows
the surveyor to lock the device to a specic location
and make it unusable if the device is moved elsewhere. In this case,
SP80 will generate an audio alert and show an alert message on its
display. Furthermore, a SMS or e-mail will be sent to the surveyor’s
mobile phone or computer and provides the receiver’s current
coordinates allowing tracking of its position and facilitating recovery
of the receiver. SP80’s anti-theft technology provides surveyors with
remote security and peace of mind.
The Most Powerful Tool for
Reliable Field Use
The SP80’s rugged housing, created by Spectra Precision’s
engineering design lab in Germany, incorporates a host of practical
innovations. Dual hot-swappable batteries can be easily exchanged
in the eld as a one hand operation for an interruption-free working
day, ensuring surveyors remain productive until the job is done. The
impact-resistant glass-ber reinforced casing, designed to withstand
2m pole drops and waterproof to IP67, ensures that SP80 can
handle the toughest outdoor conditions. The patented UHF antenna,
set inside the rugged carbon ber rod, extends the range of RTK
radio performance at the same time as armoring protection. The
sunlight-readable display offers instant access to key information like
the number of satellites, RTK status, battery charge and available
memory. With eLevel technology, the user is able to focus in one
place when leveling and measuring as well as automatically store
measurements when the receiver is level. These powerful design
features combine to make SP80 the most capable, most reliable
GNSS receiver, backed by a comprehensive standard 2 year warranty.
The Spectra Precision
Experience
With the most advanced and rugged eld data
collectors from Spectra Precision, surveyors get
maximum productivity and reliability every day.
Spectra Precision Survey Pro or FAST Survey
software is specically tailored for the SP80
GNSS receiver providing easy-to-use, yet
powerful GNSS workows, letting the surveyor
concentrate on getting the job done. Spectra
Precision Survey Ofce Software provides a
complete ofce suite for post-processing GNSS data and adjusting
survey data, as well as exporting the processed results directly back to
the eld or to engineering design software packages. Combined with
Spectra Precision eld and ofce software, SP80 is a very powerful and
complete solution.
