SP85 GNSS RECEIVER
The Spectra Geospatial® SP85 is a next generation GNSS receiver
that combines decades of GNSS RTK technology with revolutionary
new GNSS processing. Featuring the new 600-channel “7G” chipset
combined with the patented Trimble Z-Blade™️ GNSS‑centric
technology, the SP85 system is optimized for tracking and
processing signals from all GNSS constellations in challenging
environments. With unmatched connectivity in the GNSS receiver
market, the SP85 offers a unique combination of integrated 3.5G
cellular, Wi-Fi® and UHF communications with SMS, e-mail and
anti-theft technology. These powerful capabilities, packaged in an
ultra-rugged housing and patented antenna design, make SP85 an
extremely versatile turnkey solution that can be used with unlimited
operation time because of the SP85’s hot-swappable, dual battery
setup.
UNIQUE 7G GNSS-CENTRIC TECHNOLOGY
Patented Z-Blade processing technology running on a next
generation Spectra Geospatial 600-channel 7G ASIC fully utilizes
all 6 GNSS systems: GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, IRNSS
and SBAS, in addition to MSS corrections delivered via L-band.
Unlike GPS-centric technology which requires a minimum
number of GPS satellites for GNSS processing, Z-Blade️ unique
GNSS-centric capability optimally combines GNSS signals without
dependency on any specific GNSS system; this allows SP85 to
operate in GPS-only, GLONASS-only, Galileo-only or BeiDou-only
mode if needed. In addition, SP85 supports RTCM 3.2 Multiple
Signal Messages (MSM), a standardized definition for broadcasting
all GNSS signals from space, regardless of their constellation.
This protects the surveyor’s investment well into the future by
providing superior performance and improved productivity as new
signals become available.
SMS AND E-MAIL MESSAGING
SP85 has a unique combination of communication technologies
including an integrated 3.5G GSM/UMTS modem, Bluetooth® and
Wi-Fi connectivity, and optional internal UHF transmit radio,
providing unmatched connectivity for the user. The cellular
modem may be used for SMS (text message) and e-mail alerts as
well as regular Internet or VRS connectivity. SMS (text messages)
can be used to monitor and configure the receiver. Likewise,
SP85 can use all available RTK correction sources and connect to
the Internet from the field using Wi-Fi hotspots, where available.
The internal UHF transmit/receive radio allows for quick and easy
setup as a local base station. This saves time and increases the
surveyor’s efficiency, allowing for more productive workflows.

ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
A unique anti-theft technology secures the SP85 receiver when
installed as a field base station in remote or public areas and can
detect if the receiver has been disturbed, moved, or stolen. This
technology allows the surveyor to lock the device to a specific location
and make it unusable if the device is moved elsewhere. In this case,
the SP85 receiver will generate an audio alert and show an alert
message on its display. Additionally, a SMS or e-mail will be sent to
the surveyor’s mobile phone or computer and provides the receiver’s
current coordinates to allow tracking of its position and follow for a
quick recovery of the receiver. SP85’s anti-theft technology provides
surveyors with remote security and peace of mind.
THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL FOR RELIABLE FIELD USE
The SP85’s rugged housing, created by Spectra Geospatial‘s
engineering design lab in France, incorporates a host of practical
innovations. Dual hot-swappable batteries can be easily exchanged
in the field as a one hand operation for an interruption-free working
day, ensuring surveyors remain productive until the job is done. The
impact-resistant fiberglass reinforced casing, designed to withstand
2 metre pole drops and waterproof to IP67, ensures that SP85 can
handle the toughest outdoor conditions. The patented UHF antenna,
set inside the rugged carbon fiber rod, extends the range of RTK
radio performance at the same time as armoring protection. The
sunlight-readable display offers instant access to key information
like the number of satellites, RTK status, battery charge and available
memory. With eLevel technology, the user is able to focus in one
place when leveling and measuring as well as automatically store
measurements when the receiver is level. These powerful design
features combine to make SP85 the most capable, most reliable GNSS
receiver, backed by a comprehensive standard 2 year warranty.
