Description
Meet the CHCNAV i93, a next-gen GNSS rover that blends precision RTK with visual surveying. Dual cameras and video photogrammetry let you measure hard-to-reach points and perform immersive AR visual stakeout, speeding up layout and as-built tasks on congested job sites.
Under the hood, a 1408-channel GNSS engine with the iStar 2.0 algorithm delivers resilient tracking and high fix reliability—even around interference and obstructions. Add the 200 Hz Auto-IMU and you get instant, calibration-free tilt compensation to 60° so work continues accurately when the pole can’t be perfectly plumb.
Connectivity is built-in for any workflow: 4G LTE for network RTK, UHF for base/rover links, plus Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC for quick pairing with controllers. Despite its power, the i93 runs up to 34 hours as an RTK rover and meets IP68 and MIL-STD-810H ruggedness for real-world durability.
Whether you’re staking lines on a road project, capturing offsets under eaves, or complementing 3D modeling from drone imagery, the i93 helps teams finish faster with confidence-grade results.
