Spectra Geospatial SP85 GNSS Receiver
The Spectra Geospatial SP85 is a next generation GNSS receiver that combines decades of GNSS RTK technology with revolutionary new GNSS processing. Featuring the new 600-channel “7G” chipset combined with the patented Z-Blade™ technology, the SP85 system is optimized for tracking and processing signals from all GNSS constellations in challenging environments.
With unmatched connectivity in the GNSS receiver market, the SP85 offers a unique combination of integrated 3.5G cellular, L-band satellite capable GNSS antenna, WiFi and UHF communications with SMS, email and anti-theft technology. These powerful capabilities, packaged in an ultra-rugged housing and patented antenna design, make SP85 an extremely versatile turnkey solution that can be used with unlimited operation time because of the SP85’s hot-swappable, dual battery setup.
Patented Z-Blade™ technology running on up to 600-channel 7G ASIC makes full use of all six GNSS systems, namely: GPS, GLOANASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, IRNSS and SBAS. This is in addition to MSS corrections delivered via L-band.
The SP85 has been designed with field use in mind. Its rugged housing incorporates a host of practical innovations, including dual hot-swappable batteries. These can be easily exchanged in the field, ensuring an interruption-free working day.
With impact-resistant fibreglass reinforced casing designed to withstand a 2-metre pole drop and waterproof to IP67, the SP85 can handle the toughest outdoor conditions.
The SP85 provides unmatched connectivity for the user, thanks to its unique combination of communication technologies, including an integrated 3.5G GSM/UMTS modem, Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, as well as an optional internal UHF transmit radio. The internal UHF transmit / receive radio allows for quick and easy setup, saving valuable time and increasing the surveyor’s efficiency.
Unique anti-theft technology secures the SP85 receiver when installed as a field base station and can detect whether it has been disturbed, moved or stolen. Using this technology, the surveyor can lock the SP85 to a specific location and render it unusable should the device be moved elsewhere.

The Spectra Geospatial SP85 GNSS Receiver User Experience
In December 2020, we provided Spectra Geospatial SP85 GNSS receivers with Ranger 7 data collectors to The Survey School. Operated by The Survey Association (TSA), The Survey School provides training to the whole survey and construction industry.
The survey equipment we provided received high praise from the manager of The Survey School, Alan Mansell, FCInstCE, who said; “We believe that the best training can only be delivered using the best equipment and technology available. Having seen the Spectra equipment demonstrated, it became apparent that choosing the Spectra SP85 and Ranger 7 would not be a difficult decision to make”
Surveyors using the SP85 get maximum productivity and reliability every day. The Spectra Geospatial Survey Pro software is specifically tailored for the device, providing easy-to-use, powerful GNSS workflows. The Spectra Geospatial Office software provides a complete office suite for post-processing GNSS data and for adjusting survey data. It can also export the processed results directly back to the field or to engineering design software packages.
With unmatched connectivity, combined with the Spectra Geospatial field and office software, the SP85 is an extremely powerful solution.

How durable is the SP86?
The SP85 is built to meet IP67 standards, which makes it durable and 100% protected against water and dust, so you can use it even during the toughest conditions.
How long is the battery life of the SP85?
The SP85 has a battery life of up to 10 hours and uses hot-swappable dual batteries which ensure the device doesn't run out of power whilst changing batteries.
How can I prevent it from being stolen?
The SP85 features unique Anti-Theft Technology that notifies you if your receiver has been disturbed, moved or stolen. As well as producing an audio message to warn off the individual, it will send SMS or email messages to notify you of its current coordinates.
What GNSS systems does the SP85 use?
Featuring Spectra's patented Z-Blade technology, the SP85 fully utilises all 6 GNSS systems: GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, IRNSS and SBAS. In addition, SP85 supports RTCM 3.2 Multiple Signal Messages (MSM), a standardized definition for broadcasting all GNSS signals from space, regardless of their constellation.
How many GNSS channels can the SP85 use?
Featuring Spectra's patented Z-Blade technology, the SP85 uses 600 channels for optimal GNSS performance in order to get the job done effectively.
