The Spectra Precision SP80 is a next generation GNSS receiver that combines decades of GNSS RTK technology with revolutionary new GNSS processing.
Featuring the new 240-channel “6G” chipset combined with the patented Z-Blade technology, the SP80 system is optimized for tracking and processing signals from all GNSS constellations in challenging environments.
As the most connected GNSS receiver in the industry, the SP80 offers a unique combination of integrated 3.5G cellular, Wi-Fi and UHF communications with SMS, email and anti-theft technology. These powerful capabilities, packaged in an ultra-rugged housing and patented antenna design with unlimited operation time (hot-swappable batteries), make SP80 an extremely versatile turnkey solution.

Unique 6G GNSS-centric Technology
Patented 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. Unlike GPS-centric technology which requires a minimum number of GPS satellites for GNSS processing, Z-Blades unique GNSS-centric capability optimally combines GNSS signals without dependency on any specific GNSS system; this allows SP80 to operate in GPS-only, GLONASS-only or BeiDou-only mode if needed. In addition, SP80 supports the recently approved RTCM 3.2 Multiple Signal Messages (MSM), a standardized definition for broadcasting all GNSS signals from space, regardless of their constellation. This protects the surveyor’s investment well into the future by providing superior performance and improved productivity as new signals become available.

SMS and Email Messaging
SP80 has a unique combination of communication technologies including an integrated 3.5G GSM/UMTS modem, Bluetooth and Wi Fi connectivity, and optional internal UHF transmit radio. The cellular modem may be used for SMS (text message) and e-mail alerts as well as regular Internet or VRS connectivity. SMS (text messages) can be used to monitor and configure the receiver. Likewise, SP80 can use all available RTK correction sources and connect to the Internet from the field using WiFi hotspots, where available. The internal UHF transmit/receive radio allows for quick and easy setup as a local base station. This saves time and increases the surveyor’s efficiency.

Anti-Theft Protection
A unique anti-theft technology secures SP80 when installed as a field base station in remote or public places and can detect if the product is disturbed, moved or stolen. This technology allows the surveyor to lock the device to a specific location and make it unusable if the device is moved elsewhere. In this case, SP80 will generate an audio alert and show an alert message on its display. Furthermore, a SMS or e-mail will be sent to the surveyor’s mobile phone or computer and provides the receiver’s current coordinates allowing tracking of its position and facilitating recovery of the receiver. SP80’s anti-theft technology provides surveyors with remote security and peace of mind.

The Most Powerful Tool for Reliable Field Use
The SP80’s rugged housing, created by Spectra Precision’s engineering design lab in Germany, incorporates a host of practical innovations. Dual hot-swappable batteries can be easily exchanged in the field as a one hand operation for an interruption-free working day, ensuring surveyors remain productive until the job is done. The impact-resistant glass-fiber reinforced casing, designed to withstand 2m pole drops and waterproof to IP67, ensures that SP80 can handle the toughest outdoor conditions. The patented UHF antenna, set inside the rugged carbon fiber rod, extends the range of RTK radio performance at the same time as armoring protection. The sunlight-readable display offers instant access to key information like the number of satellites, RTK status, battery charge and available memory. With eLevel technology, the user is able to focus in one place when leveling and measuring as well as automatically store measurements when the receiver is level. These powerful design features combine to make SP80 the most capable, most reliable GNSS receiver.

The Spectra Precision Experience
With the most advanced and rugged field data collectors from Spectra Precision, surveyors get maximum productivity and reliability every day. Spectra Precision Survey Pro or FAST Survey software is specifically tailored for the SP80 GNSS receiver providing easy-to-use, yet powerful GNSS workflows, letting the surveyor concentrate on getting the job done. Spectra Precision Survey Office Software provides a complete office suite for post-processing GNSS data and adjusting survey data, as well as exporting the processed results directly back to the field or to engineering design software packages. Combined with Spectra Precision field and office software, SP80 is a very powerful and complete solution.
