Product Information

Professional Long-Range RTK Surveying Solution

The Alpha 5i GNSS Rover Set delivers centimeter-level positioning accuracy with integrated 12km UHF radio communication, designed for professional surveyors who demand reliable performance across extended work sites without external equipment dependencies.


Advanced Multi-Constellation Tracking

The 1116-channel GNSS receiver simultaneously tracks GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo satellites, ensuring consistent RTK performance even in challenging environments with limited sky visibility. This multi-constellation approach provides redundancy and faster convergence times compared to single-system receivers.


Integrated IMU Tilt Compensation

Work efficiently on slopes and uneven terrain with 60-degree IMU tilt compensation that maintains accuracy without requiring perfect pole leveling. This feature significantly reduces measurement time and eliminates the need for repeated setups on challenging topography.

Exceptional range and precision for complex projects
The 12km UHF radio range is a game-changer for large-scale boundary surveys where maintaining RTK corrections across extensive properties was previously challenging. The 1116-channel receiver locks onto satellites quickly even in dense canopy conditions, and the 60° tilt compensation allows for rapid measurements without perfect rod leveling.

Frequently Asked Questions

General
What is the operational range of the integrated UHF radio system?
The Alpha 5i features an integrated 12km Rx/Tx UHF radio system that provides reliable RTK corrections over extended distances. The actual range may vary depending on terrain conditions, antenna height, and environmental factors. In open terrain with optimal conditions, the full 12km range can be achieved.
How does the 60° IMU tilt compensation improve surveying efficiency?
The 60° IMU tilt compensation allows surveyors to collect accurate measurements without requiring the pole to be perfectly vertical. This significantly reduces setup time, increases productivity in challenging terrain, and enables measurement of points that would otherwise be inaccessible with traditional methods.
What GNSS constellations does the 1116-channel receiver track?
The Alpha 5i's advanced 1116-channel GNSS receiver simultaneously tracks multiple satellite constellations including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, and NavIC. This multi-constellation capability ensures optimal satellite availability and positioning reliability in challenging environments such as urban canyons or under tree cover.
What level of positioning accuracy can be achieved with this RTK system?
The Alpha 5i GNSS Rover Set delivers centimeter-level accuracy with typical horizontal precision of ±8mm + 1ppm and vertical precision of ±15mm + 1ppm in RTK mode. With the IMU tilt compensation active, accuracy is maintained even when the pole is tilted up to 60° from vertical, making it ideal for professional surveying applications requiring high precision.
Is the Alpha 5i compatible with third-party surveying software?
Yes, the Alpha 5i is designed for broad compatibility with industry-standard surveying software packages through standard NMEA and proprietary protocols. It supports popular field software applications and can integrate seamlessly into existing surveying workflows, ensuring flexibility for professional surveyors using various data collection platforms.
