Jupiter Laser RTK
The SinoGNSS Jupiter Laser RTK is a high-end GNSS surveying receiver that combines multi-constellation GNSS, IMU tilt compensation, laser measurement, and dual-camera visual stakeout in one unit. It is designed for topographic surveying, construction layout/stakeout, points that are difficult to occupy with a range pole, and work in areas where conventional GNSS positioning is challenging.
Key Features
- 1,668-channel K8 GNSS engine for multi-constellation, multi-frequency satellite tracking.
- Full GNSS constellation support: GPS, BDS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, IRNSS and SBAS.
- Auto-IMU tilt survey — up to 120° tilt compensation, with approximately 2.5 cm accuracy in conventional tilt mode.
- Integrated 50 m laser for measuring points that are difficult or unsafe to occupy directly with a pole.
- Laser accuracy: approximately 3–5 mm + 1 ppm at room temperature.
- Dual-camera visual stakeout provides a visual 3D view and helps operators locate and stake points without repeatedly moving the pole.
- PPP support, including BDS B2b and Galileo HAS, subject to service/configuration availability.
- Super Datalink/UHF with up to 15 km working range under ideal conditions using SNLonglink.
- OLED color display for quick monitoring of satellites, RTK status and battery.
- IP67/IP68-rated protection depending on the current specification/version; the latest manufacturer material lists IP67/IP68 inconsistently, so I would verify the exact rating of the unit being quoted.
- Android 12 platform and 8-core processor in the current Jupiter package.
