RTK Accuracy Meets Affordability in the Skadi Series™
The Skadi 200™ is our entry-level RTK-enabled GNSS receiver in the Skadi Series™ from Eos Positioning Systems®. With support for dual-frequency on all GNSS constellations, the Skadi 200 lets you obtain reliable centimeter-level RTK accuracy in the field. The Skadi 200 is compatible with any existing RTK network, CORS network, and base station. It is also compatible with free SBAS signals in areas without RTK coverage, and it is device agnostic to work with any iOS®, Android™, or Windows® mobile device.
In addition to the accuracy and performance you would expect from any Eos GNSS receiver, the Skadi 200 also includes several advanced mapping capabilities available only in the Skadi Series product line. These include an integrated antenna and hot-swap, all-day battery pack. Moreover, the Skadi 200 can be activated with the Skadi Tilt Compensation™ so you can remain more productive at every point by not having to level your physical range pole.
Finally, your included Skadi Standard Handle™ may be optionally upgraded to the Skadi Smart Handle™ to take advantage of two exciting features. First, the Invisible Range Pole™ provides continuous elevation measurements to the ground. Additionally, the Extensible Virtual Range Pole™ lets you remotely capture assets located a short distance away that are on the ground and in trenches.
Works with RTK and SBAS
RTK Network & Base Station
The Skadi 200 provides 1-3 cm horizontal accuracy with any RTK network or local base station. It is compatible with any correction source that provides standard RTCM format.
SBAS
If no RTK corrections are available, the Skadi 200 can achieve 40-60 cm accuracy anywhere in the world where a free Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) is available.
Skadi 200 Puts RTK In Your Hand™ with Advanced Mapping Features
The Skadi 200 is eligible for two productivity-enhancing exclusive upgrades: Skadi Tilt Compensation™ and the Skadi Smart Handle™ (an optional upgrade from the included Skadi Standard Handle™). Please note these features are available only for RTK-enabled Skadi Series™ GNSS receivers, including the Skadi 200.
Skadi Tilt Compensation™
When you activate Skadi Tilt Compensation, you eliminate the need to level your antenna while performing RTK data collection on a range pole. With Skadi Tilt Compensation activated, you introduce only .3 mm (.01 inch) of inaccuracy per degree of tilt.
Skadi Smart Handle™
The Skadi Smart Handle is a physical upgrade to your included Skadi Standard Handle. The smart handle features two exciting and powerful features. These features include the following:
Invisible Range Pole™
The Invisible Range Pole is an innovative approach to bringing the benefits of a traditional survey range pole into your hand without the cumbersome physical weight. With the Invisible Range Pole feature, you carry a virtual gimbal that keeps you plumb to the ground. Raise, lower, or tilt the receiver, your elevation to the ground is continuously computed below the Skadi receiver in your hand, thanks to the exciting combination of LiDAR and MEMS technologies.
Extensible Virtual Range Pole™
This exciting and innovative feature allows you to extend the reach of your data collection beyond the position you physically occupy. Using a built-in green laser pointer, now you can “shoot” short-distance assets on the ground while retaining high accuracy. This is particularly useful for assets in trenches and similar environments. The Extensible Virtual Range Pole has an approximate range of about seven meters (23 feet) in bright sunlight conditions (performance may vary based on target reflectivity).
At a Glance: Discover the Skadi Smart Handle™
When you purchase a Skadi Series RTK-enabled GNSS receiver like the Skadi 200, you may optionally upgrade your Skadi Standard Handle to a Skadi Smart Handle™. Learn more about the Skadi Smart Handle here:
Robust RTK with an Entry-Level Price
Survey-Grade RTK Accuracy
The Skadi 200 supports all RTK networks and base stations and provides centimeter-level accuracy when connected. When no RTK corrections are available, the Skadi 200 can use free SBAS (see technical specifications for accuracy levels).
Skadi Tilt Compensation™
The Skadi 200 may be purchased with the optional Skadi Tilt Compensation™ — boosting your field productivity by allowing you to capture points quickly without having to level your survey range pole.
Advanced Mapping Features
The Skadi 200 is eligible for a Skadi Smart Handle™ upgrade. Taking advantage of very accurate distance-measuring LiDAR and MEMS sensors, the smart handle offers two powerful features: the Invisible Range Pole™ and the Extensible Virtual Range Pole™.
