Emlid Reach RS4

Features

The Reach RS4 is the flagship all-band RTK GNSS receiver. With the Reach RS4, everything just got better; there are no flaws and no compromises. It makes fieldwork faster, more flexible and more reliable. So, what exactly has been improved compared to the Reach RS3?

Improved tilt compensation algorithm

5× faster tilt compensation — RS3 required 30–40 seconds to initialize; RS4’s next-gen IMU activates in just a few moves (5–7 seconds).

Quick-release mount

Backlash-free thread designed specifically for tilt workflows, ensuring accuracy even under pole tilt.

All-band support and new antenna

Tracks all bands, including L1/L2/L5/L6, 672 channels, providing greater multipath resistance and able to work even under a canopy!

Fully functional dual band radio system

…which means that the UHF bands can also be used to send corrections. This also comes with license support for radios. UHF radios support transmission power of up to 2 W, but the exact allowable power level depends on local country regulations and often requires a licence. The LoRa radio supports transmission power of up to 1 W, and the maximum output varies by country (detailed specs are coming soon). However, LoRa is optimised to remain within licence-free limits in most regions.

Even more durable

The RS4 is made from a new premium material: a magnesium alloy, which is often used in the manufacture of aerospace and medical equipment, as well as high-end electronics. It also features an IP68 rating and a wider operating temperature range of -40 to +65°C.

Drone mapping

The Reach RS4 can also be used as a base station for drones.
