Network RTK rover with centimeter accuracy Pocket-sized and lightweight receiver.
Works with NTRIP corrections.
When paired with the signature Emlid survey-pole, the Reach RX becomes the most simple measurement/locating tool on the job site. Centimeter-level accuracy that is fast, light, and so incredibly useful.
It is just that: the usability and the ease of use, that raises the level of productivity, for both skilled professionals and laypeople.
Get started in 1 minute
Install the ReachView app now and take a few moments to get familiar: [Android app – free], [iOS app – free].
Then, after unpacking your new Reach RX, you can be collecting your first point in 60 seconds.
Easy to set up:
just add NTRIP. Reach RX uses Bluetooth, allowing you to connect and start surveying in a few seconds. No settings to get wrong.
1. Enable Bluetooth on your device and find your Reach RX in ReachView 3.
2. Add network correction credentials
3. Collect your first point.

Reach RX is a network-rover
Reach RX uses the Bluetooth LE connection to your phone/tablet to receive a feed from the Internet, via an NTRIP[?] caster, so you’ll need some NTRIP credentials.
But don’t worry if you don’t have NTRIP credentials at the moment, because you could
- A) use a Reach RS2+ as your base-station, employing Emlid’s easy NTRIP casterfor the task; or
- B) pick up some NTRIP credentials from a local, government, or large-network NTRIP provider [extensive list].
- C) and operate their own NTRIP caster, e.g. using source code from GitHub.] (For advanced users)
Accomplish your basic surveying goals with the ReachView 3 app
Import and export points from ReachView 3 in various formats, such as Shapefile, DXF, and CSV.
Whether you collect, then export the points; or import, then stake-out the points; or just do everything you need within ReachView, you are assured of a simple process with universal options for moving your data in and out.
You could use your favorite third-party surveying/GIS app as well. There are techniques to make your device get its location from Reach RX, which allows any app to work with the accuracy of Reach RX. Some third-party apps will be able to work directly with Reach RX as well.

REACH M+ and REACH M2 FEATURES
NTRIP or another Reach as a base station To calculate centimeter-precise coordinates in PPK and RTK, Reach needs corrections from a base station. It could be either another Reach receiver or an NTRIP service. VRS is also supported.
Compatibility Reach M2 and M+ work seamlessly with other Reach receivers over any link and are compatible with any other receiver that supports RTCM3 and NTRIP.
REACH M+ and RS+
If you work within short baselines, then Reach M+ is an optimal choice.
Frequency bands: Single band
Time to fix: 1-2 minutes
RINEX logging update rate: Up to 14 Hz
REACH M2 and RS2
It provides robust performance and quick initialization, allowing work on long baselines.
Frequency bands: Multiband
Time to fix: 5 seconds
RINEX logging update rate: Up to 14 Hz
HOW REACH WORKS
1. Fly the drone, Reach will record photo events.
Reach captures flash sync pulses with sub-microsecond resolution and stores them in a raw data RINEX log in the internal memory
2. Download logs from Reach and base station.
After the flight, get the RINEX logs from your airborne Reach module and a base station (Reach RS, CORS or another receiver).
3. Process logs and get a file with geotags of photos.
Process RINEX files using free RTKLIB software. The produced file with precise coordinates of the photos can be used for georeferencing.
Comes with an app
ReachView is the most user-friendly software for data collection that is available both for Android and iOS. With ReachView, you can control all the features of Reach receivers, such as setting up a base station, logging RINEX data, configuring NMEA output, and monitoring data.
Camera control
Reach is able to trigger cameras as well as register events. The event mark feature is a must for aerial mapping as it allows the precise time when the shutter was activated to be registered.
Simple log management
Logs are automatically recorded directly to RINEX in the internal memory. View a list of the logs and download them using the ReachView app.
Monitoring data
ReachView shows current satellite levels, your location on a map, and much more.

REACH IN ACTION
3DroneMapping completes PPK trials with the average zero mean error in all axes
Luke Wijnberg, 3DroneMapping.com
As a brief synopsis of the results, the maximum deviation of points was no more than 0.09m in all axes. This is an incredible result given the fact that the average pixel size of the resulting imagery was 0.045m. The average mean error in all axes is just few mm!
REACH RS and RS+ FEATURES
Surveying with ReachView
The most user-friendly software for data collection that is available both for Android and iOS. With ReachView, you can collect and stake out points and control all the features of Reach receivers, such as setting up a base station, logging RINEX data, and configuring NMEA output.
Point collection: create projects, save points, and export in industry standard formats. Record each position as a point with centimeter precise coordinates. Export projects and open them in GIS or CAD software like AutoCAD, ArcGIS, QGIS, and others.
Formats: DXF, CSV, GeoJSON, ESRI Shapefile
Stakeout: Find points position on the ground
Stakeout is used to find exact physical locations of points. They can be collected in ReachView or imported from other CAD or GIS software. Process of stakeout in ReachView has two steps: map view and bulls-eye. Map’s purpose is to help you navigate to points on long distances. When you get closer than 40 cm to the point, bulls-eye turns on to make it easier for you to visually match receiver and point.
Formats: CSV, DXF and GeoJSONs
Logging in RINEX: record raw data, position, and base correction logs
Record raw data, position and base correction logs. Point collection and the recording of RAW data are independent processes and can be used simultaneously. ReachView has a simple and intuitive interface for logging configuration and control. We provide our version of RTKLib for PPK. It’s free and can be downloaded from our docs.
