Leica GS18 GNSS RTK Rover
The Leica GS18 is a self-learning GNSS smart antenna. The GS18 inherits all the features of the Leica GS18 T, except for tilt compensation. However, the GS18 grows with your business: you can upgrade it to a tilt-compensated system at any time.
The GS18 is an excellent companion for a surveyor working primarily with an RTK network, such as HxGN SmartNet. Like most Leica Geosystems GNSS smart antennas, the GS18 can be used as both a rover and a base.

UPGRADE TO TILT-COMPENSATED EQUIPMENT
Whenever you need the efficiency and safety improvements gained from tilted measurements, you can upgrade your GS18 to a tilt-compensated rover. Any Leica Geosystems service centre can perform the upgrade at any time.
ENGAGING SOFTWARE
The Leica Captivate field software is the perfect companion for the GS18. With easy-to-use apps, all measured and design data can be viewed and used, providing a clear understanding of the data in 2D and 3D views. Captivate spans industries and applications with little more than a simple touch, regardless of whether you are working with GNSS, total stations, or both.
PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT
Multipath reduction and interference mitigation options in Captivate bolster GNSS signal tracking quality in challenging environments, improving RTK availability and accuracy. Furthermore, an interference filtering toolkit allows for the removal of in-band and out-of-band distortions for even more robust GNSS signal tracking.
4G LTE & EXCELLENT MEASUREMENT QUALITY
Multi-frequency signal tracking comes as standard with all Leica Geosystems GS receivers. Combined with an excellent GNSS antenna and a 20Hz position update rate, the GS18 ensures extremely reliable measurement quality.
INTERNAL MEMORY
Users with any GS18 model have the flexibility to log raw data onto an SD card or into the internal memory.
