Product overview

The SOUTH Pole compact intelligent RTK receiver supports surveying with BDS-2, BDS-3, GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and IRNSS signals. Its magnesium-alloy construction weighs 840g and incorporates a 6800mAh lithium battery. The receiver resists 100% condensation and a 2 m drop with the pole attached. A single button provides control, while five dedicated indicators show satellite, differential signal, charging, Bluetooth and power status. A built-in temperature sensor monitors and regulates receiver temperature in real time.

Wi-Fi and USB provide access to the built-in web interface for receiver monitoring and configuration. Cloud services support remote equipment configuration, progress viewing and job management through SOUTH servers or a self-hosted server. A development package supplies the OpenSIC observation data format and interaction interface definitions. Optional inertial tilt measurement automatically corrects coordinates using pole direction and angle, supporting 0°–60° tilt with compensation accuracy of 8 mm + 0.3 mm/° tilt on a 1.8 m pole. NFC enables automatic Bluetooth pairing with an NFC-equipped handheld controller.
