The new radio module works at the same frequency range as Reach RS/RS+ LoRa (862–1020 MHz). The module is fully compatible with the internal LoRa radio of Reach RS/RS+.
LoRa for Reach M+ enables easy and reliable RTK communication between Reach RS/RS+ base station and Reach M+ rover on distances up to 8 kilometers.
It’s easy to integrate:
Plug the radio to S2 port on Reach M+ with the supplied cable;
Setup correction link between M+ and RS/RS+ in ReachView app over LoRa (LoRa radio requires Reachview v2.15.3 dev and higher).
LoRa radio is now available for order from Emlid store for $118 (also available from our dealers). Learn more about LoRa radio in Emlid docs and order one now in our online store!
Would you consider making a LoRa repeater? Or enabling this to be used as such?
I am using Reach RS’s in a rugged terrain in Greenland, where a strategically placed LoRa repeater would enable otherwise impossible Fix’es - making post-processing obsolete.
Is it possible to use this new RTK radio, with a third party GNSS receiver that is able to receive corrections via RS232 (and use the Reach RS/RS+ as a base)?
LoRa radio is a bit more complicated than other radios used for receiving/transmitting corrections via RS232. So it’s not possible to connect the LoRa module directly to another receiver.
