BuyReach RS2: RTK Receiver with Centimeter Precision
Gets a fix
in seconds
Reach RS2 gets a fixed solution in just seconds and maintains robust performance even in challenging conditions. Centimeter accuracy can be achieved on distances up to 60 km in RTK, and 100 km in PPK mode.

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
3.5G modem
Reach RS2 features a power-efficient 3.5G HSPA modem with 2G 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 3G rover, even in cold weather—no more need to carry spare batteries with you. Reach RS2 can charge from a USB wall charger or a power bank over USB-C.
Surveying
with ReachView 3
The most user-friendly software for data collection that is available both for Android and iOS. Supports thousands of coordinate systems and is translated into multiple languages. 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.
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
Stakeout:
find point's 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.
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 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.

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.
Connectivity
Real-time position
streaming in NMEA
Reach provides data in standard NMEA that is used by most GIS apps. Simply connect your device to Reach over Bluetooth or with a cable, and turn on “Position output” in ReachView.
Reach can turn on and off automatically
Reach is able turn on and off in sync with an external battery connected over RS-232. This helps when the power button is hard to reach. For example, if the receiver is placed on the roof of a tractor.
Compatible apps
MachineryGuide, AgriBus-Navi, Efarmer, Agripilot, and others
Position streaming
Interfaces
RS-232, TCP, Bluetooth
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.

Engineered
to be tough
Reach RS2 is designed to work even in the most challenging environments.
IP67
RS2 is waterproof up to 1 m depth. All connectors are completely sealed and protected from water and dust with silicone plugs.
-20ºС...+65ºС
We extensively tested Reach RS2 in conditions that simulate coldest winters and hottest summers.
Polycarbonate body
Polycarbonate, an extremely durable material that is used in bulletproof glass, makes Reach RS2 impact-resistant.
Covered with
elastomer
This is a rubber-like material that forms a shock absorber around the whole device. In a sophisticated manufacturing process, elastomer is permanently bonded to the polycarboante base so that if your bipod falls over, Reach RS2 will bump off, no marks left.
Rugged
5/8″ mount
A precision CNC machined threaded mount is inserted during the molding process and becomes one with the plastic.
The metal mount works as a heatsink, transferring heat away from the electronic components and ensuring stable operation in a hot climate.
LoRa radio
868/915 MHz
Frequency range
Up to 8 km
At only 100mW
300% more range
Compared with FSK radios at the same power
LoRa Spread Spectrum modulation can work on distances up to 4 times longer compared with traditional FSK radios at the same power output. This gives Reach RS2 robust radio performance without sacrificing battery life. LoRa radio is used to connect rover to base when Internet-delivered corrections are not available.
Industrial battery
LiFePO4
Industrial battery that handles both high and low temperatures well.
USB-C
Reach RS2 charges from any USB port and power bank.
2 000+ cycles
of charging and discharging while maintaining original capacity.
Reach RS2 works for up to 22 hours in static logging and up to 16 hours in RTK with cellular on. You don't need to worry about having spare batteries or replacing them in the field. Hot-swaps are a thing of the past.

Reach RS2 is our biggest release since Reach RS
Emlid has delivered over 10 000 Reach RS RTK all around the world
From America and Canada to Europe, Africa and Asia. We can't even count in how many ways people have used Reach RS in their projects. Reach RS and Reach RS+ have given thousands of users all around the world access to centimeter-accurate RTK GNSS measurements.
With Reach RS2 we are finally making multi-band receivers accessible
Supporting multiple frequency bands, Reach RS2 fixes 10 times faster, works on longer baselines and supports PPP processing. Reach RS2 can also deliver centimeter accuracy in areas where Reach RS struggled: narrow city streets, forests, and in close proximity to buildings or machinery.
