Four independent Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) will be operational within the near future. With the new Leica GPS1200+ users can be certain that they are ready.
Currently, only the GPS system is fully operational – and the GLONASS system is rapidly approaching full operational status. These two systems will soon be complimented by the European Galileo system and the Chinese Compass system.
A four constellation GNSS will soon become reality, and will deliver a new dimension in GNSS performance and efficiency.
Leica Geosystems’ concept means that all existing Leica GPS1200 systems can be upgraded to the latest technology.
The Leica GPS1200+ supports the new GPS L5 signal, GLONASS L1 and L2, and will also be able to track Galileo and Compass satellites when available. The flexible design of Leica GPS1200+ is 100 per cent future proof and is already now compatible with the four global navigation satellite systems.
GPS L5 is the new third GPS frequency which will allow increased redundancy, faster signal acquisition, and improved multipath performance – ultimately resulting in longer RTK ranges and faster ambiguity resolution. Galileo will add another 30 satellites to the GPS and GLONASS constellation providing additional benefits. With an average of 20 satellites in view 24/7, the speed and accuracy of GNSS will be further improved.
Leica GPS1200+ includes the SmartTrack+ and SmartCheck+ technology. The instrument includes the third generation of SmartTrack+ measurement engines with 120 channels and offers enhanced signal processing and industry leading measurement quality. SmartCheck+ guarantees maximum reliability by continuously checking results.
