Over the past decade, Emlid has evolved from a start-up into a reliable, global supplier of high-precision GNSS solutions. Our story began with making RTK available, and today we continue this journey with a bold commitment to the philosophy of simplicity.

We believe that the future of RTK GNSS is not about complexity—it’s about simplicity that turns into confidence. It’s about using equipment that simply works, whether you’re under dense foliage of trees, moving around the city, or measuring a hard-to-reach point.

We build reliable, intuitive tools for everyone, everywhere. Every detail, from the first setup to the daily workflows, is designed to support both experienced professionals and inexperienced people.

Continuing this philosophy, we are introducing the new generation of Emlid GNSS receivers.

Next generation of Emlid RTK GNSS: Reach RS4 and RS4 Pro, Reach RX2

At the beginning of the Emlid journey, we proved that centimeter-level GNSS accuracy could cost 10 times less. Now the next obstacle is eliminated : complexity.

All-band RTK capture (L1/L2/L5/L6) across all satellite systems to deliver unmatched performance in urban cities, dense tree foliage and other challenging conditions.

Integrated antenna system with diverse LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for pure GNSS signal, and a stable fixation solution wherever you go.

Emlid multiband radio system up to 2 W, compatible with third-party equipment for sending and receiving corrections. Radio supports both licensed and licensed operation at 450 MHz and 915 MHz frequencies. This allows users to adapt to the needs of the project while complying with regulatory requirements.

Next-generation IMU slope compensation with up to 5x faster initialization.

Durable design with magnesium alloy housing, IP68 protection and user-replaceable bumpers to protect the receiver from the most frightening falls.

Designed for iPhone certification to ensure compatibility with iOS apps, including Esri ArcGIS apps.

Based on the RS4 platform, the Reach RS4 Pro adds revolutionary vision capabilities. With two factory-calibrated full HD cameras, it provides new features:

AR Markup – intuitive, augmented reality control for quick and easy navigation to points. Any project geometry can be projected in AR mode in the Emlid Flow app.

Measuring from images is a new solution to safely and quickly capture inaccessible points, whether they are on the façade or in the middle of the highway. Images taken directly from the receiver camera are processed by Emlid Flow to ensure accurate coordinates.

With its camera capabilities, the Reach RS4 Pro goes a step further than the traditional RTK. This next-generation receiver significantly speeds up marking and saves time on the installation of a total station when taking measurements in hard-to-reach or dangerous places.

Pocket-sized and easy to deploy, the Reach RX2 is ideal for GIS, construction and asset management in companies managing multiple projects and teams. It integrates seamlessly with Esri’s ArcGIS apps for GIS data collection and with the Pix4Dcatch app for mobile earth scanning.

Emlid receivers work immediately after removal from the box with the simplicity of the consumer device, while providing the accuracy that professionals expect in the field.

This simplicity not only saves time, but also opens up new methods of work.
