The Alberding A08-RTK GEO-MICHEL^® is a powerful and scalable L1/L2 Handheld-RTK-System for high-precision satellite-based positioning. Under suitable con­di­tions, the integrated multi-frequency GNSS RTK receiver provides coordinates of the receiving antenna accurate to the cen­ti­me­ter after only a few seconds.

During system development, great im­por­tance was attached to compactness and ease of operation. By pre-configuring the sensor, the measurement can be started by simply pressing a button. GNSS correction data dial-up is automated via the integrated 4G LTE modem and Ntrip client software.

The positions, which are accurate to the centimeter, can be stored internally or trans­ferred wirelessly in the standardized NMEA format to a smartphone or tablet for further processing with an app. Real-time transmission of positions via mobile radio to a server is also supported.

Information about the measurement pro­cess is provided to the operator via LED and the very easy-to-read e-paper display. The function button (Fn) can be adapted to the tasks (e.g. saving and sending positions or recording raw data) on the software side.

The GEO-MICHEL^® was primarily de­vel­oped for users outside of surveying who need to record precise positions quickly, easily and cost-effectively. With a suitable GNSS antenna on the rover pole, surveyors can also benefit from the system.
