RS2 vs RS2+ vs RS3 pure GNSS performance

Hoping to get some information on the GNSS hardware differences between these units. They’re all using UBLOX GNSS recievers - are they using the same model, and if so is there anything different that would affect pure GNSS performance, ie antenna used or processing hardware?

pretty sure all the same…except for the TILT function on the RS3…which enabled would result in less accuracy. Tradeoff for speed and the feature.

I would assume EMLID will jump in here.

That’s correct. They all use the Ublox ZED-F9P. The 2+ added LTE and dual antennas and the 3 add tilt compensation.

Hi @tomk ,

Performance-wise, they’re the same. The only major difference is that RS3 has a tilt and a built-in UHF radio.

RS2+ and RS3 support 4G, while RS2 works with 3G.

Dual antennas?
Can you elaborate please?

Think he meant the RS3? LoRa (send/receive) and UHF (receive only).

Dual LTE antennas.

It would be nice to have an upgrade path from an RS2 to RS2+ by just swapping the sim slot so that LTE in the US works via SIM! Rather than buying a RS2+ of course.

Here’s a comparison of the Reach RS3, RS2+, M2, and RX from Emlid, focusing on their key specifications: oops
editing…

Please dont copy paste from chatGPT. There are so many wrong statements in here.
In example. The RX is just as precise as the rest, also offering centimeter precise RTK.
Additionally, the RX is Bluetooth only, and does not have Wi-Fi.

Yeah… kill that post… totally inaccurate.

People can spot AI from a mile away anyways.

Not to mention the M2 takes an external power source so there is no designated battery life, left out the RS2, the RX doesn’t use Wi-Fi and it forgot 3 constellations.

Google search is now serving an AI response as first on the list. At least typical search results are listed next. How long before AI is all you get. Dis Information is bad enough now… Just wait. :frowning:
