Description
Emlid Reach RX
Emlid Reach RX is a lightweight, multi-band RTK GNSS receiver designed for professionals who need fast, reliable, and centimeter-accurate positioning—without the complexity. Weighing just 250 grams, the Reach RX is ultra-portable and fits easily into any work van or field kit, making it ideal for teams who need to collect or verify location data on the go.
With plug-and-play Bluetooth connectivity, the Reach RX pairs instantly with your smartphone or tablet using the Emlid Flow app. No configuration is needed—just power it on, connect, and start surveying. By streaming NMEA data and receiving NTRIP corrections, the RX delivers real-time accuracy for tasks like point collection, stakeout, and asset mapping.
Whether you’re marking utilities, logging potholes, or recording job site locations, the Reach RX empowers field crews to work independently—reducing the need to call in a surveyor multiple times during a project. It’s also compatible with popular third-party apps like ArcGIS Field Maps, QField, and FieldGenius, making it a flexible addition to any workflow.
