Cutting Edge Features, High Quality Manufacturing, All at a Fraction of the Cost

All Tersus Smart GNSS receivers are affordable, fully featured, and easy to operate for any surveyor or RTK GNSS user.

Common Features of Tersus Smart GNSS Receiver Models:

  • IMU Tilt Compensation: Offers unlimited tilt compensation without calibration and is immune to magnetic disturbances (except for the David30 receiver). Tested RMS error is 3.7 cm at a tilt angle of 110°.
  • Versatile: Receivers can be used as a rover or a base station, and they support 410-470MHz UHF radio, 4G network, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC.
  • Full Satellite Tracking: The Tersus-developed GNSS board supports full, multi-constellation tracking, 576 – 1792 channels and 2 – 4 cm accuracy.
  • Fix in Seconds: Fixed solutions can be obtained in 3-5 seconds in open sky and in 10-30 seconds under canopy or near buildings.
  • Multipath Mitigation: Advanced GNSS high-precision RTK algorithms enable Tersus smart receivers to track more satellites and effectively filter out signals with serious multipath error and low signal-to-noise ratios, delivering results even in urban canyons and dense tree canopies.
  • Simple Workflow: Capture, edit, and save data easily, reducing time spent on fieldwork and data processing. The Tersus Nuwa Android App is a free download for use with Tersus controllers or your own compatible Android device.
  • Tersus Advanced Positioning (TAP): Most Tersus receivers are compatible with TAP, providing real-time, centimeter-level correction via satellite link, anywhere and anytime.e.

Video Overview of the Ultra-Compact Tersus LUKA GNSS Receiver

In this video, Dustin Harr, one of our GNSS receiver specialists, showcases the capabilities of the ultra-compact Tersus Luka smart GNSS receiver. The Luka is user-friendly and affordable, featuring NFC tap-and-go connectivity with your tablet, calibration-free limitless tilt, and visual stakeout functionality.

Additionally, pop in a SIM card to leverage the Luka for transmitting NTRIP corrections through the Tersus Caster Service, enabling internet RTK positioning without dedicated radio communication. This can be used for multiple rovers or devices like UAVs. Stay tuned for future updates on how Tersus base stations integrate with your current mixed fleet of GNSS rovers and drones.
