mettatec X5 Mobile Pro RTK GNSS Antenna

Product Information

The GNSS X5 Mobile Pro RTK is a high precision external GNSS antenna receiver that works with Android smartphones or tablets. It is designed for both entry- level and field experienced professional users and offers RTK+PPK+NTRIP corrections for accurate positioning.

Description

The X5 Mobile Pro is a high-precision GNSS receiver that operates connected to an Android smartphone or tablet and features an RTK correction system that receives data via LoRa.

Main Advantages

• Multi-band RTK (433MHz and 915MHz frequencies available) with fast convergence times and robust performance
• PPK and NTRIP corrections for centimeter-level accuracy
• Uses GNSS L1/L2/e5 technology found in professional receivers
• Simultaneous reception of GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, and BEIDOU constellations
• Includes its own multi-band helical GNSS and LoRa antennas
• Data transfer connection via USB port and Bluetooth
• Compatible with GIS and Photogrammetry Applications that operate with NMEA data
• Includes a red point Laser for easy location of georeferenced points
• Rugged plastic enclosure for durability

X5 Mobile Pro Components

• GNSS X5 Mobile Pro unit
• HeliX5 multi-band GNSS antenna
• LoRa 433 MHz or 915 MHz antenna (Frequency selected by client)
• Rover pole Adapter with 5/8” thread
• USB Type-C cable for power supply

Compatible Android apps

• SW Maps
• FieldGenius
• Survey Master
• Mapit GIS / Mapit NTRIP Client
• YCServer NTRIP Client
• RTK camera (Photogrammetry)
• …and other Apps and Software that use or accept NMEA data via Bluetooth or Serial USB

Product Usage Instructions

1. Connect the GNSS X5 Mobile Pro unit to your Android smartphone or tablet using the USB Type-C cable for power supply.
2. Make sure the X5 Mobile Pro is securely attached to the HeliX5 multi-band GNSS antenna and the LoRa antenna (433MHz or 915MHz frequency selected by the client).
3. Power on the device and wait for the RF LED to blink, indicating LoRa data transmission or reception.
4. If using Bluetooth, wait for the BT LED to blink, indicating that the device is waiting for a Bluetooth connection. Once the LED is solid, it means the Bluetooth connection is established.
5. For configuration, use the switch on the device to enter the Configuration mode. This mode allows you to change LoRa parameters using the executable application.
6. To receive corrections from the Base Station, switch the device to the Transmission mode.
7. The X5 Mobile Pro will receive multi-band RTK corrections and provide accurate positioning information in real-time.
8. Use compatible Android apps such as SW Maps, FieldGenius, Survey Master, Mapit GIS / Mapit NTRIP Client, RTK camera (Photogrammetry), or other apps and software that use or accept NMEA data via Bluetooth or Serial to access and utilize the GNSS data.
