The SP85 GNSS receiver has been developed through decades of research and new positioning technologies. Its rugged and user-friendly design is intended for uninterrupted field use on various sites.
Surveying uses
The SP85 features an impact-resistant fibreglass reinforced casing designed to withstand drops from up to 2 metres. It also boasts an IP67 rating, so surveyors are safe in the knowledge that it has been tested against the most extreme conditions.
Education
The SP85 is both an extremely powerful and easy-to-use solution. This makes it ideal for practising real-world surveying, as it can demonstrate what’s possible with leading equipment without placing trainees out of their depth.
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 manager of The Survey School, Alan Mansell, FCInstCE, 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”.
