Tougher than Tough Enough. The R780 GNSS Smart Antenna is precise, reliable and versatile. With integrated dual-band radio, the R780 can serve as a GNSS rover system or as a base station. From surveying to machine guidance, the R780 does it all.
Construction surveyors can capture accurate points without leveling the pole to work faster and safer.
Rugged, All-In-One Solution
GNSS receiver, antenna, integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, dual-band radio [450 / 900 MHz] and battery all in one compact and easy-to-use unit
Eliminate downtime with the most rugged receiver Trimble has ever built – it’s virtually indestructible
Work more efficiently in the dark or hard to reach locations with a sensor to show verticality on the field controller screen; saving time when you can’t easily see the rod bubble
Longer battery life keeps you working longer in the field
Tilt Compensation
Using the R780 GNSS Smart Antenna and Trimble Siteworks Positioning Software, capture accurate points while standing, walking or driving the site in a vehicle, while the receiver is not level. From a moving vehicle, capture higher accuracy measurements on steeper slopes and more accurate volume measurements to save time and money on material planning.
Faster measurements, more efficient stake-outs
Easy to learn for beginners, saves time for experienced surveyors
Safely survey hard to reach areas (corners, traffic lanes, utility flowlines)
No magnetic interference
Flexibility and Performance
Scalable from entry-level to high precision applications to fit your needs
Can be easily moved from carrying case to range pole, tripod, t-bar, or vehicle
