Emlid launches new GNSS series to simplify precision positioning

Emlid has introduced a new generation of all-band RTK receivers including the Reach RX2, Reach RS4 and Reach RS4 Pro. They are built for surveyors, GIS specialists and construction teams seeking reliable, high-accuracy positioning with consumer-level ease of use. This EU-based developer of high-precision GNSS receivers and software is on a mission to make professional-grade precision simple, fast and scalable.

Founded in 2014, Emlid has grown into a distinguished brand of high-precision GNSS receivers and software trusted by professionals – ranging from civil engineers and GIS experts to drone-mapping professionals – in over 100 countries. With offices in Lisbon and Budapest, the company continues to focus on making professional positioning technology more accessible and efficient through its combination of robust hardware and streamlined software.

Powerful and future-ready RTK receivers

The Reach RS4 and RS4 Pro mark a significant step forward from previous Emlid models, combining rugged engineering with faster workflows and uncompromised accuracy. The flagship Reach RS4 Pro introduces innovative camera-vision technology that blends traditional RTK with visual positioning to cut survey time and simplify work in complex environments.

Further enhancements include next-generation IMU tilt compensation that initializes up to five times faster than before, a durable magnesium alloy body with IP68 protection, and Made for iPhone certification enabling smooth integration with iOS applications such as Esri ArcGIS. A new quick-release survey pole mount ensures fast and accurate setups, even when tilted.

AR-based stakeout and measurement from images

Building on the RS4 platform, the RS4 Pro adds dual, factory-calibrated full-HD cameras that enable augmented-reality (AR) stakeout and measurement from images. The AR interface projects geometries directly in the Emlid Flow app, guiding users intuitively to stakeout points. The image-based measurement feature allows for accurate coordinate capture from photos, which is ideal for hard-to-reach places such as facades or active roadways. Together, these vision-based tools streamline fieldwork and reduce reliance on total stations in difficult conditions.

Compact, reliable and effortless mobility

For users prioritizing mobility, the Reach RX2 delivers professional RTK performance in a compact, plug-and-play format. Like its larger counterparts, it supports all-band RTK signals and features a second-generation IMU tilt compensation system for level-free measurements. A new quick-release mount enables rapid setup in the field.

Designed for GIS, construction and asset management teams managing multiple projects, the Reach RX2 integrates seamlessly with Esri ArcGIS for data collection and Pix4Dcatch for mobile terrestrial scanning.

Complete field-to-office workflow

Emlid’s product ecosystem – including the Emlid Flow mobile app and Emlid Flow 360 cloud platform – creates a complete field-to-office workflow for professionals who value simplicity without sacrificing precision. The system enables companies to assign surveying tasks to non-surveyor teams, reducing training requirements while maintaining professional accuracy standards.

“Emlid receivers embody our philosophy of simplicity: they just work, no matter the conditions. We’ve built them to be reliable and future-ready, with features like AR positioning. This is precision without compromise, for everyone,” said Igor Vereninov, co-founder and CEO of Emlid.

From its European base, Emlid continues to redefine accessibility in professional positioning. The company delivers centimetre-level accuracy, durable design and seamless software integration so that teams around the world can handle data collection faster and with less effort.
