i83 GNSS RTK receiver packages

The best under-canopy performance on the brightest tablet

The i83 is the best performing, non-visual receiver + data collector bundled kit available anywhere.

Best under-canopy performance: the i83 is the fastest fixing, most reliable engine available. The i83 beats every other receiver under heavy canopy.

We are ready to prove performance to you.

Tough full featured receivers: 34-hour rover operation; fast charging, 25% per hour; built-in LTE cell modem; 2-watt transmit, high sensitivity receive UHF radio; high-speed 5 GHz Wi-Fi or Bluetooth control allows nearly instantaneous configuration. Free APIS networking allows cellular correction Base->Rover backhaul without subscriptions.

High accuracy, reliable repeatability: High accuracy for layout, topo, control and surveying.

Bright front panel display: View receiver status at a glance, configure as Base or Rover from the front panel, control and verify RINEX recording, check radio frequencies and software version without connecting to the receiver.

Best field software: LandStar8 is the real deal, ready for all survey tasks in the USA. It is fast, dependable, crash free and runs on most Android phones, tablets and controllers. We deliver perpetual (no annual maintenance), fair-use licenses.

Brightest, toughest field tablet: The Tripltek 9 Pro has the brightest screen (1300 nits sustained), for continuous use in hot and bright environments. It lasts 10-hours on a charge at full speed at full brightness. Fast 36-watt charging goes from 1 to 95% in 3-hours. An all-metal bracket and pole clamp won't slip around or down the pole. Once you see and use the Tripltek 9 Pro, every other field collector is unacceptably dim.

[ Datasheet ]

The i83 receiver matches the legendary under canopy performance of the i76, i89, i93 and iBASE visual receivers without the visual stakeout/survey cameras.

Full GNSS tracking: 1408-channels taking advantage of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou (with BeiDouIII) providing robust data quality and unequaled under canopy performance and short time-to-fix in challenging environments:

GPS L1C, L1A, L2P(Y), L2C, L5; GLONASS G1,G2,G3; Galileo E1, E5a, E5b, E6, E6 HAS;
BeiDou B1I, B2I, B3I, B1C, B2a, B2b; QZSS L1C/A, L1C, L2C, L5; PPP B2b-PPP; SBAS L1C/A

IMU Tilt Compensation: With a 200-Hz high-speed IMU coupled to GNSS with fast 3-second initialization delivering 3cm accuracy up to 30-degree pole tilt.

Field Software: LandStar8 is recommended for new applications.

LandStar8: All devices are fully compatible as native instruments with LandStar8 field software. LandStar8 is the preferred solution for new users and deployments and required for Visual Survey applications.

X-PAD: All devices are supported by X-PAD, however the visual stakeout and visual survey capabilities of the i89 and i93 are not supported.

Field Genius: All devices are compatible with Field Genius Android. Manual entry of antenna parameters may be necessary.

SurvXX: All devices are nominally compatible with SurvCE / SurvPC Version 6.05 / 6.08 with some [ caveats ]. We strongly recommend updating to LandStar8 from SurvXX products: LS8 is faster, uses modern Android data collectors, has many more features and is substantially more dependable.

Radio: 2-watt Internal Radio. The i83 also has a standard 7-pin LEMO (9-28 VDC power + RS-232) ports for connection to an external radio and power source. External power does not charge the internal batteries. The i83 supports the CHC516 correction format which is RTCM3.2 MSM compatible and enhances base monitoring functions.

External Power and Charging: The i83 has internal batteries which are charged by a Type-C cable. An optional 7-pin LEMO can be used for external power allowing the i83 to run indefinitely. Receivers typically charge to 95% in 4-hours.

Network Cell Modem: The i83, i93 and iBASE have Quectel EG25-G LTE 4G modems with support for:
LTE-FDD: B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B12/B13/B18/B19/B20/B25/B26/B28
Every receiver is ready for use on a network using the internal cell modem, or from an internet connected data collector.
