[New Product] Reach RX2: The Ultimate Compact GNSS Receiver by Emlid

Pix4D Announces Domestic Launch of GNSS Receiver "Reach RX2"

Pix4D (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo), acting as the official domestic distributor for EmlidTech Kft. (Hungary), has announced the domestic release of the "Reach RX2," the successor to the ultra-compact and ultra-lightweight GNSS receiver, "Reach RX."

True to Emlid’s mission of "high precision for everyone," the Reach RX established overwhelming portability as a dedicated network RTK device. The new "Reach RX2" inherits this usability while introducing multi-frequency support (scheduled for L1/L2/L5/L6) and IMU tilt compensation, evolving into a professional specification that enables "faster and more accurate" operations even in harsh field environments.

Key Specifications and Features of Reach RX2

Reach RX2 condenses the latest positioning technology into a compact body that is smaller and lighter than a plastic bottle.

- **Overwhelming Portability**: 172mm in height and weighing only 280g, it causes no fatigue even during long hours of fieldwork. - **Multi-frequency/Multi-channel Support**: Supports L1/L2/L5, with future updates scheduled to support L6 (CLAS). - **Calibration-free Tilt Compensation**: Built-in IMU supporting tilts up to 60 degrees. - **High Durability and Long Battery Life**: IP68 dust and water resistance, with approx. 16 hours (two days' worth) of operation per charge. - **Flexible App Integration**: Compatible with iOS/Android, seamlessly linking with major apps such as PIX4Dcatch and Kaisoku Navi.

Three Key Evolution Points

### 1. Dramatic Improvement in Positioning Stability (Multi-frequency/Multi-channel)

Upgraded from Reach RX’s dual-frequency (184 channels) to the Reach RX2’s 672-channel support for L1/L2/L5, the enhanced signal reception capability provides the following benefits:

- **Improved Fix Rate in Harsh Environments**: In locations with limited sky view (e.g., urban areas, mountainous regions) or environments prone to multi-path interference, overwhelming signal reception greatly improves RTK Fix rates and stability. - **Next-generation Positioning (Scheduled L6 support)**: Future firmware updates will add support for the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) CLAS (L6) signals. This enables high-precision positioning using satellite signals alone, even in areas outside mobile coverage where network RTK correction data is unavailable.

### 2. Built-in IMU Tilt Compensation Changing Field Mobility

Reach RX2 adds the long-awaited calibration-free IMU tilt compensation. Users are freed from the necessity of keeping the pole vertical, maintaining high-precision positioning even when tilted up to 60 degrees. Initialization completes by simply shaking the device for a few seconds, proving its worth in scenarios such as:

- **Accelerated Measurement Speed**: Eliminates the hassle of using bipods to ensure vertical alignment, enabling rapid, continuous measurement of numerous survey points. - **Obstacle Avoidance**: Even when the sky is obscured by trees or roofs, the receiver can be tilted toward open directions to secure optimal signal reception. - **Accessing Difficult Locations**: Accurate coordinates can be obtained on steep slopes or points that cannot be vertically reached due to physical interference (edges/corners) simply by tilting the pole.

### 3. Seamless Ecosystem with Industry-Standard Apps

In addition to the Emlid native app, it offers high compatibility with major third-party apps:

- **PIX4Dcatch**: Combines RTK location accuracy with point cloud data acquisition and the latest "3D Gaussian Splatting" technology to create highly realistic 3D models. - **Kaisoku Navi (Kensetsu System Co., Ltd.)**: Directly receives tilt-compensated coordinates, significantly reducing man-hours in stakeout tasks for ICT construction and boosting overall field productivity.

With Reach RX2, professional functions like "multi-frequency and tilt compensation," which previously required expensive equipment and complex settings, are now offered with unprecedented portability and cost-performance.
