Leica Geosystems has released the iCON gps 160 GNSS smart antenna (available through C.R. Kennedy), which can be used as a base station, a rover or for machine guidance, and is designed to provide versatility for the construction industry.
The unit features a large colour display and a quick setup without the need for extra hardware, plus tilt compensation of up to 20 degrees (along with an optionally available IMU to further increase efficiency with tilt-compensation).
Other features include SmartLink Fill, which bridges interruptions in the RTK connection signal for up to 10 minutes; an integrated global modem; integration with Leica iCON field solutions; and IP66/IP67 protection.
