For surveyors looking for top-tier Leica GNSS rover solutions, the GS18 T combines the accuracy of RTK GPS systems with Leica’s tilt-compensation and GNSS RTK capabilities, making it an essential tool for professionals who require reliable and accurate measurements.

Key Features of the Leica GS18 T

1. Tilt-Compensation for Enhanced Efficiency
   • The GS18 T is the world’s first GNSS RTK rover with an integrated IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), enabling tilt-compensation that eliminates the need to hold the pole vertically. This feature not only speeds up workflows but also makes it easier to capture points that are otherwise hard to access, increasing overall productivity.
   • The tilt compensation is calibration-free and immune to magnetic interference, ensuring that measurements remain accurate even in proximity to metallic structures.
2. Comprehensive GNSS Compatibility
   • The Leica GS18 T supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, and NavIC, providing global coverage and the ability to work in any location. This multi-frequency RTK GNSS system enables quick fixes and reliable accuracy under diverse conditions, making it an exceptional GNSS RTK rover.
   • With 555 channels, the GS18 T provides robust signal tracking and high sensitivity, ensuring stable and precise data collection.
3. Leica Captivate Integration
   • Paired with Leica Captivate field software, the GS18 T offers an intuitive interface for managing GNSS RTK data, enhancing the workflow for applications like topographic mapping, construction layout, and boundary surveys. Leica Captivate simplifies data collection and analysis, providing a streamlined experience for surveyors.
4. Reliable Real-Time Communication
   • Equipped with 4G LTE, UHF, Bluetooth, and WLAN capabilities, the Leica GS18 T offers seamless communication for real-time RTK corrections. This makes it compatible with Network RTK, DGPS/RTCM, and other communication protocols, ensuring fast, accurate, and consistent measurements.
   • The rover also supports RTK bridging, allowing up to 10 minutes of continuous operation in the event of RTK signal loss, ideal for remote or signal-challenged environments.
5. Robust and Durable for Field Use
   • With an IP68 rating, the GS18 T is dust- and water-resistant, built to withstand the demands of fieldwork in harsh environments. Operating in temperatures as low as -40°C and as high as +65°C, this Leica RTK rover ensures durability and reliability for extended projects.
   • Designed for portability, the Leica GS18 T is compact and lightweight at just 1.23 kg, making it easy to carry and deploy in various locations.
