Product overview

The A&I B700 accommodates standard-sized boards from Trimble, Septentrio, Unicore, Bynav and A&I. Its control functions bring positioning, path planning and chassis control together in one terminal. A built-in battery and pre-configured CORS account support immediate startup, while an integrated web interface provides configuration access. The integrated navigation version automatically calibrates lever arms, removing the need for manual measurements. Internal storage retains data for post-processing, with TF memory card expansion available. Its ROS2 architecture supports ROS1, ROS2, Apollo and Autoware drivers.

The receiver measures 118*115*38mm, weighs less than 1kg and has IP67 water and dust protection. Its battery compartment contains one removable rechargeable Li-ion battery rated at 3400mAh, 7.2V and 24.48Wh. Front-panel connections include SIM and TF card slots and USB Type-C; the rear panel provides power, CAN, RS232, Ethernet and 1PPS through a 26-pin connector, alongside 4G, UHF radio and GNSS connections. The standard internal UHF radio receives and transmits from 410 to 470 MHz, with transmit power options of 0.5 W, 1W and 2W.
