Eos Positioning Systems Announces New Line of GNSS Receivers: The Skadi Series

The Skadi Series are a suite of high-accuracy GNSS receivers that dramatically enhance field crews’ productivity, safety, and flexibility through cutting-edge, patented features.

First, Skadi Tilt Compensation allows a user to capture data without needing to level their survey range pole. With Skadi Tilt Compensation activated on an RTK-enabled Skadi Series receiver, the user can rely on their receiver to rectify errors introduced from tilted range pole angles during data collection.

Next, the Skadi Smart Handle introduces two additional features, powered by very accurate LiDAR and MEMS sensor measurements. With the Skadi Smart Handle, the user can activate an Invisible Range Pole to provide continuous elevation-to-the-ground measurements below the hand-held Skadi receiver. The receiver always computes accurate elevation to the ground, regardless of the receiver’s attitude (angle toward the ground). The Invisible Range Pole eliminates the need to carry a physical range pole and the requirement to enter an antenna height in a field data collection app while performing RTK-level accurate field work.
