Emlid Reach RS3

Centimetre-Grade GNSS with Real-Time Tilt Compensation

The Emlid Reach RS3 is a next-generation GNSS receiver designed for fast, precise fieldwork—even in locations where vertical alignment is difficult. Featuring IMU-based tilt compensation, a built-in LTE modem, and rugged durability, the RS3 is ideal for surveyors and field teams working in complex environments.

Lightweight, waterproof, and calibration-free, the Reach RS3 simplifies GNSS surveying by allowing accurate measurements with up to 60° tilt—without sacrificing precision. Backed by the Emlid ecosystem, it’s a compact, reliable solution that accelerates stakeout and mapping workflows.

Key Features

Tilt. Measure. Done.

Tilt Compensation Up to 60°

Survey with up to 60° tilt while maintaining 20mm accuracy. Reach RS3 automatically detects and corrects tilt in real time.

Fast Initialisation

Achieve tilt-ready mode in just 10–20 seconds of tilting or 20 metres of walking—no manual calibration required.

Immune to Magnetic Interference

IMU-based sensors remain accurate even near metal structures or magnetic fields.

Calibration-Free & Ready to Use

Pre-calibrated from the factory, the RS3 is ready to operate straight out of the box with no setup delays.

Centimetre Accuracy in Seconds

Rapid Fix Time

Achieves a centimetre-accurate RTK fix in about 5 seconds—even in partially obstructed conditions or when tilted.

RINEX Logging & PPP Support

Logs raw data for post-processing in industry-standard RINEX format. Compatible with Emlid Studio, OPUS, AUSPOS, and PPP services.

Built-In LTE Modem

Insert a SIM card to broadcast or receive NTRIP corrections over cellular networks—no external radio required.

Emlid Ecosystem Integration

Seamlessly pair the RS3 with other Emlid devices, such as the RS2+ as a base station or external radio modules for expanded communication.

Ideal for workflows that require base-rover configurations, multi-rover deployments, or flexible radio setups in the field.
