Product Information

Professional RTK GNSS Rover with IMU Tilt Compensation

The South ALPS1 delivers centimeter-level accuracy for land surveyors, construction professionals, and GIS specialists who demand reliable positioning in any environment.


Intelligent Tilt Compensation Technology

Built-in IMU technology enables precise measurements at angles up to 60°, eliminating the need to level your pole on every shot. This breakthrough feature accelerates data collection while maintaining survey-grade accuracy, particularly valuable in dense vegetation or challenging terrain where traditional leveling is difficult.

Multi-Constellation GNSS Performance

Advanced tracking of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS satellites ensures robust RTK initialization and fix retention, even under tree canopy or near structures. The sophisticated signal processing delivers consistent performance where single-constellation receivers struggle.


Key Professional Advantages

  • 60° tilt compensation — Work faster without precise pole leveling
  • Multiple communication paths — 4G LTE, UHF radio, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity
  • Hot-swappable batteries — Continuous operation throughout long survey days
  • IP67 weatherproof rating — Reliable performance in harsh field conditions
  • Compact form factor — Lightweight design reduces operator fatigue

Engineered for professionals who require dependable accuracy and efficiency in demanding survey environments.
