RTK GNSS receiver with tilt compensation
Survey grade precision, even in hard-to-reach spots
Multi-band base and rover
IMU tilt compensation
LTE modem
Dual-band radio
Accurate results even with large tilt angles
The IMU-based tilt compensation in Reach RS3 enables you to make measurements with up to 60 degrees of tilt while still staying within 20 mm of accuracy.
Reach RS3 continuously measures and corrects tilt in real-time to keep you on target.
Survey and stakeout faster
No need to check the bubble
Effortless and robust
Tilt compensation
Calibration-free
We calibrate each unit individually at the factory, so you can get your Reach RS3 up and running right out of the box.
Immune to magnetic disturbances
Unaffected by magnetic fields, the RS3 provides robust tilt compensation even when working close to metal structures.
Quick initialization
Tilt initialization takes about 20 meters of walking or 10-20 seconds of tilting. Usually ready on the way from the car.
Rapid and Reliable GNSS receiver
Gets a fix in 5 seconds
Reach RS3 gets a centimeter-accurate solution in about 5 seconds. It maintains robust performance even when the sky view is partially obstructed, or the receiver itself is tilted.

Emlid Reach RX
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.
AVAILABLE AS A: Network Base and Rover kit Reach RX Kit Reach RX Team kit
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.

PPP support:
RINEX raw data logs are compatible with PPP services so you can now get centimeter-precise results in any place on Earth. Process RINEX files in an online service and get position with absolute accuracy.
Built-in LTE modem
Reach RS2+ features a power-efficient LTE modem with 2G/3G fallback and global coverage. Now corrections can be accessed or broadcasted over NTRIP independently, without relying on an Internet connection on your phone.
22 hours on 1 charge:
Up to 22 hours of autonomous work when logging data and up to 16 hours as a LTE rover, even in cold weather. Reach RS2+ can charge from a USB wall charger or a power bank over USB-C.
Surveying with ReachView 3:
With ReachView 3, 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.
The app is available both for Android and iOS, supports thousands of coordinate systems and is translated into multiple languages.
Point collection: save points, and export data to CSV:
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.
Coordinate systems based on WGS84, NAD83, GDA2020, and others
Logging in RINEX: record raw data, position, and base correction logs
Record raw data, position and base correction logs. Point collection and recording of RAW data are independent processes and can be used simultaneously. ReachView 3 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.
- 16 GB storage
- 160+ days of logging at 1 Hz
- PPP for OPUS: RINEX raw data logs are compatible with PPP services so you can now get centimeter-precise results in any place on Earth. Process RINEX files in an online service and get position with absolute accuracy
NTRIP or another Reach as a base station
Reach RS2+ needs a base station as a source of corrections. That’s a requirement for centimeter accuracy in RTK and PPK. Base might be either another Reach RS2+ receiver or an NTRIP service. VRS is also supported.
Reach RS2+ works seamlessly with other Reach receivers over any link.
- Input and output corrections: Interfaces TCP, LoRa, Bluetooth, RS-232, NTRIP
- Formats: RTCM3
- Max distance from a base: Over 60 km in RTK
100 km in PPK
Any place on Earth with PPP
