GPS + GLONASS RTK is delivered in a small and light design for ultra portability. The APS-3 has integrated wireless options that include a GSM/GPRS or CDMA modem for easy Real Time Network connection, and a digital UHF transceiver for Base/Rover operation on demand.

For ease of use and simplicity, the APS-3 is completely configurable from the data collector via Bluetooth for either Base or Rover operation with the internal UHF radio, or for Network Rover operation with the internal cellular modem.

APS-3 FEATURES

• 136 Channel GPS + GLONASS receiver
• Integrated Quad-Band GSM/GPRS Modem or CDMA Modem
• Integrated Digital UHF transceiver, 406-470 MHz
• Integrated Bluetooth
• Dual Hot-Swap Li-Ion Batteries with Fuel Gauge
• Removable min.2 GB SD Card storage

With Altus’s open architecture philosophy, the user has the choice of data collector software from MicroSurvey FIELDGenius or Carlson SurvCE to custom software.Rugged field computers are used to communicate with the APS-3 via Bluetooth for a cable free operation. Furthermore, the APS-3 houses two hot swappable Li-lon batteries for continuous operation. Re-charging is done within a few hours with the included charger.
