RTX
ASIC – Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) - customized for a particular use, rather than intended for general-purpose use.
Exclusive Z-Blade processing technology running on a next generation Spectra Precision 240-channel 6G ASIC fully utilizes all 6 GNSS systems: GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS and SBAS. The unique GNSS-centric capability optimally combines GNSS signals without dependency on any specific GNSS system; allowing operations in GLONASS-only or BeiDou-only mode if needed.
Important: RTCM 3.2 is the first standardized format which allows delivery of the corrections for more than just GPS+GLONASS.
All the previous versions of RTCM like 2.3 and 3.0/3.1 were able only to deliver the corrections of 2 constellation. RTCM 3.2 is capable of delivering the information for more constellations.
SP80 was the first receiver in the industry which provided that functionality.
SBAS in RTK?:
When speaking about Fixed RTK, one is usually interested in time needed to fix carrier ambiguity and achieve cm level solution insuring at the same time preset reliability. L1 RTK solution allows using SBAS measurements in RTK process, thus making it a true GNSS technology. SBAS gives extra GPS-like measurements, which improve Satellite geometry and allow achieving cm level accuracy faster compared to GPS only case.
The GPS+SBAS RTK technique is similar to GPS+GLONAS L1 RTK technique. From the point of L1 RTK performance, two extra SBAS satellites do the same job as three extra GLONASS s satellites. The ‘power’ of L1 GPS+SBAS RTK and L1 GPS+GLONASS RTK is approximately the same.
RTK with Long-Range Bluetooth: Unique technology in the Trimble and competition world. Only particular market player can use alike solutions.

All output messages will be stopped (the protected base receiver will no longer generate and transmit corrections, or any other NMEA or raw data messages).
The power button of the protected receiver will be made inactive, which means no one can:
Reset the receiver
Upgrade the receiver
It is recommended to deactivate Anti-Theft when moving base between locations
