An RTC bridge function enables a network-connected ProMark 800 rover to rebroadcast RTK corrections to multiple rovers. Auto dial provides easy connection to RTK networks and automatic reconnect to the last mount point. In addition to Z-Blade technology, the ProMark 800 features a robust communications package with an all-in-one communications system that enables NTRIP, direct IP or point-to-point real time communications via built-in GSM/GPRS/3.5G, and a wide selection of UHF modules. And as signals from future satellite constellations become available, Z-Blade technology will incorporate them with equal ease and benefit to maintain its pre-eminence. With the ProMark 800, obtaining fast, high-accuracy fixes will no longer be GPS low-DOP dependent. Until the introduction of ProMark 800 with Z-Blade, all GNSS receivers have always prioritized GPS satellite signals over signals from GLONASS constellation satellites and required a minimum of 4 to 5 GPS satellites in order to acquire and maintain precise positioning. The ProMark 800 with Z-Blade is again first with a quantum leap in GNSS surveying by treating equally all available satellite signals.
Z-Blade is the most significant advance in Ashtech’s industry-leading Blade technology since its introduction as the first GPS and GLONASS GNSS signal processing technology. Powered by Ashtech’s advanced new Z-Blade technology, the ProMark 800 aggregates and processes satellite signals in an entirely new way to deliver unprecedented efficiency that enables faster more stable RTK positions, particularly in GPS-deficient environments such as urban canyons and beneath tree canopies. – Spectra Precision today announced the introduction of the ProMark™ 800 GNSS receiver.
