Introducing Reach RS3 from Emlid, an RTK GNSS receiver with tilt compensation and survey grade precision,even in hard-to-reach spots.
- Multi-band base and rover
- IMU tilt compensation
- LTE modem
- Dual-band radio
The Emlid Reach RS3 is a state-of-the-art GNSS receiver delivering centimeter-level accuracy in seconds. It features multi-band RTK with GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS, ensuring reliable performance anywhere. With 4G/LTE, LoRa, and a 30-hour battery life, it's designed for the most demanding survey tasks.
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
IMU tilt compensation
|
Calibration-free Inertial measurement unit are calibrated in each device 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, RS3’s IMU sensors provide 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.
GPS/QZSS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo
L1C/A, L2C, L1OF, L2OF,B1I, B2I, E1B/C, E5b
RINEX logging and PPP support
Record raw data in the RINEX format for post-processing. You can use our free PPK software, Emlid Studio, or any other software that supports RINEX. Logs are also compatible with OPUS, AUSPOS, and PPP services, so you can get highly accurate results anywhere in the world.
16 GB storage
160+ days of logging at 1 Hz
Up to 22 hours on 1 charge
Reach RS3 comes equipped with a built-in, industrial-grade battery that can endure up to 22 hours of logging or 18 hours of working with tilt in RTK. For uninterrupted multi-day operation, simply connect a power bank, just like you would with your mobile phone.
Charging via USB-C
Built-in LTE Modem
Insert a SIM card into your Reach RS3 and let it broadcast or receive corrections via NTRIP.
Get corrections from CORS, Reach, or 3rd-party base
NTRIP
Base and Rover
Work in RTK with VRS or a single baseline CORS network. You
can also connect another GNSS receiver as an NTRIP base using Emlid NTRIP Caster.
Compatibility
Any receiver with RTCM3 support
Dual-band radio
LoRa 868/915 MHz - Base and Rover
Perfect for areas with no internet coverage for NTRIP. LoRa is used when connecting Emlid receivers over the radio.
Compatibility
All Emlid receivers with built-in radio
UHF 450 MHz - Rover
An option to mix and match RTK receivers within your fleet. You can configure your Reach RS3 to receive corrections from an existing base*.
You can also use a high-power external radio on your Reach base and connect with the UHF radio receiver in Reach RS3.
Compatibility
Bases with radios that
transmit TRIMTALK 450S**
*Requires a 410-470 MHz antenna, sold separately

Comes with software for the field and the office
Emlid Flow
Emlid Flow efficiently manages all field-related tasks, including receiver configuration, RINEX logging, data collection, and stakeout. Available or iOS and Android.
Emlid Flow 360
You can access your survey data via the cloud-based Emlid Flow 360. It allows you to prepare, manage, and export your projects from a browser.
The basic features are available for free to all users. Upgrade your Emlid Flow and Flow 360 with a single subscription.
Emlid Studio
A free post-processing software for macOS and Windows.
Learn more about Emlid Studio here.
Emlid Caster
Connect up to 10 rovers to your base station via the internet or set up your own NTRIP network with Emlid Caster.

Rugged and compact
126 x 126 x 142 mm | 950 g
IP67
RS3 is waterproof up to a one meter depth. Silicone plugs completely seal and protect all connectors from water and dust.
-20 to +65 ºС
Extensively tested in conditions that simulate coldest winters and hottest summers.
Industrial battery
The Reach RS3 Li-Ion battery handles high and low temperatures well and over 2000 cycles of charging and discharging while maintaining its original capacity. While others are hot-swapping batteries, your Reach just keeps working.
Impact-resistant
The body of the Reach RS3 is made of polycarbonate and coated with elastomer. The combination of these materials makes your Reach RS3 drop resistant and ready for the harshest conditions.
