Jupiter Laser RTK: the GNSS receiver with laser and dual camera
A point that is hard to reach, dangerous or with an obstructed signal: these are the situations where an ordinary GNSS receiver forces you to stop. Jupiter Laser RTK by ComNav Technology is designed for exactly these cases. It is a GNSS RTK receiver that combines GNSS, IMU, a 50 m green laser and a dual camera: it measures points where the pole cannot be placed and guides stakeout with the view from the cameras.
On this page we explain what the laser does, how visual stakeout works, what the accuracy figures mean and which software you need. The data is as declared by ComNav Technology: for configuration, accessories and prices, 3D Target is at your disposal.

The PPP service is optional. The UHF modem is standard and can be removed if needed. The UHF radio range depends on the environment and the protocol: 15 km is achievable with SNLonglink in ideal conditions.
The laser: measuring where the pole cannot reach
With the green laser of Jupiter Laser RTK you measure from a distance, up to 50 m, the point you cannot reach with the pole. It is the difference between giving up a point and surveying it without moving.
Visible even in daylight: the laser is green and can be seen in daylight, so you aim with confidence.
Accuracy: (3-5) mm + 1 ppm at room temperature, with a measuring frequency of 3 Hz, up to 5 Hz.
With a tilted pole: compensation up to 120° also applies in laser mode; with the laser at 5 m and the pole tilted by 60° the accuracy is 3.5 cm.
The camera helps you aim: the built-in camera lets you target points too far away to be seen with the naked eye.
Safety: Class 3R laser, with emission power from 0.9 to 1.5 mW.

Visual stakeout with the dual camera
With the dual camera, Survey Master shows a 3D view with the point to stake out marked directly on the ground. Just follow the arrow and the real-time distance.
First time: even a less experienced operator finds the point in one go, without moving the pole back and forth.
Two 2 MP cameras with global shutter: 75° field of view and 30 fps.
Three modes: the IMU compensates tilt up to 120° in conventional surveying, in laser mode and in visual mode.
Accuracy, constellations and Auto-IMU
Jupiter Laser RTK tracks 1,668 channels and over 60 satellites, with RTK initialization in less than 5 seconds (10 km baseline) and 8 mm + 1 ppm horizontal accuracy. More satellites means getting a fix in seconds and boosting productivity.
All constellations: GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, IRNSS and SBAS, with PPP B2b and HAS and L-Band. The PPP service is optional.
Single baseline RTK: 8 mm + 1 ppm horizontal and 15 mm + 1 ppm vertical (RMS); initialization in less than 5 s with a 10 km baseline and 99.99% reliability.
Static and rapid static: 2.5 mm + 0.5 ppm horizontal and 5 mm + 0.5 ppm vertical (RMS).
Auto-IMU: no manual initialization, automatic calibration and tilt compensation up to 120° with 2.5 cm accuracy.
Radio, ruggedness and software
Jupiter Laser RTK has a UHF radio compatible with the main brands, IP67 protection and a 5000 mAh battery lasting up to 16 hours. You work with Survey Master on Android and process data with SinoGNSS Compass.
