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.

GPS/QZSS, GLONASS,
BeiDou, and Galileo

L1C/A, L2C, L1OF, L2OF,

PPP
support

Record raw positioning data in the RINEX format for further post-processing. RINEX logs are compatible with OPUS, AUSPOS, and PPP services, so you can get cm-precise results anywhere on Earth. For post-processing, you can use our free PPK software Emlid Studio.

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 an LTE 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.

Connectivity

Real-time position
streaming in NMEA

Reach provides data in standard NMEA that is used by most survey and GIS apps. Simply connect your device to Reach over Bluetooth or with a cable, and turn on “Position output” in Emlid Flow.

RS-232 port

Reach can turn on and off automatically

Reach is able to 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

FieldGenius for Android, ESRI Collector, QField and others

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 precision 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.

Reach RS2

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.

-20 to +65 ºС

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.

Reach RS2

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 with no marks left.

Reach RS2 brains

LoRa radio

868/915 MHz

Frequency range

Up to 8 km

At only 100 mW

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.
