Product Description
The Kolida K5 PLUS RTK GNSS receiver is equipped with a Trimble BD970 GNSS board that supports 220 channels. It has a dual battery hot-swappable system. In difficult environment you may lost connection with base station or VRS network. Don’t be disappointed, you can choose from 3 creative work modes to continue surveying without interruption. (Repeater/ Router/ Mobile Reference Station) SDL400 built-in radio can send signal as far as 7 km in urban area, 8 km in suburban. The maximum coverage is up to 200 sq.km, suitable to have multiple rovers work simultaneously. SDL400 built-in radio features anti-interference capability, so K5plus+ can work close to power plant, transformer substation, mobile signal tower and other interference source. To improve the performance in city survey, R&D team upgraded the network module from 3G to 4G. Under 4G mobile network, data transmission is faster and more stable. SUPER RTK is still compatible with 3G and 2G. See what others can’t. K5plus+ employs Linux system, it helps surveyors to accomplish their missions easier, faster and more accurate by delivering exceptional quality and innovative features.
Versatility and Flexibility
Every Unit of the Kolida K5 PLUS can work as a base receiver and a rover receiver. The Build-in UHF radio can transmit signals 1-5KM away. The integrated 3.5G/GPRS module enables seamless real time connection with CORS networks. Bluetooth 4.0 technology supports the connection to IOS, Android an windows cell phones and other kinds of data collectors. A newly designed smart power management program can reduce energy spill and extends working hours. Smart Voice prompt program can guide your operation and system trouble shooting.
Smaller but stronger
K5 PLUS is one of the smallest GNSS receivers in the world with a diameter of the top end of only 134mm. The height of the receiver is 118m, total volume is 1.02L and it weights only 1KG. Magnesium alloy materials create an extremely rugged, compact and light machine body for the K5 PLUS. The anti-impact ability, shock absorbing ability and heat dissipation ability are greatly improved. Whole seal design brings the Kolida K5 PLUS an IP67 level industrial class proof ability, makes the receiver withstand all kinds of stresses from harsh environments.
Full satellite constellations support
Equipped with most advanced GNSS boards, KOLIDA K5 PLUS system can track most signal from all kinds of running satellite constellation, especially support B1, B2 and B3 signal from BeiDou, also is able to get position result with only BeiDou signal.
Advanced data-link module
Integrated with new and excellent datalink system, KOLIDA K5 PLUS is compatible with current radio protocols in the market, also supports all kinds of network types to access CORS seamlessly.
Intelligent and open platform
A new and smart platform makes thewhole system works faster and more stable, the power consumption is significantly reduced. The status of each parts can be monitored in real time.
Extremely small
KOLIDA K5 PLUS, with innovative design, the size of the RTK receiver is extremely small and the weight is only 1kg. With Multi-layer shielding technology, we solve the Interference problem even in the very small size, which ensure the accuracy and stability of the RTK
Tilt survey
Tilt survey function is to help surveyors directly measure a corner or edge of an object. With the tilt range of 30 degrees the tilt sensor can correct the measuring result according to tilt angle and direction
Electronic bubble calibration
Electronic bubble function is designed to help surveyors to make centering easier and faster. While measuring a point, users don’t need to observe physical bubble anymore but controller screen only
NFC function
The internal NFC module can make the complicated bluetooth communication more simple and easier.

What accessories do I need?
Rover setup
When using this device in a rover configuration you may need the following accessories besides the receiver itself
- RTK Correction service. To achieve centimetre accuracy your receiver will need RTCM correction data so it can calculate your exact position. Without an RTK provider your receiver won’t be able achieve a 1-2 centimetre accuracy.
- Surveying software. Your receiver provides you with the coordinates you need but you still need surveying software in order to process this information. Which software you need depends on your needs. We recommend keeping it simple and don’t pay for things you don’t need. Having that said, if you do have to do complicated surveying work make sure you get the right software. Some recommended options are Carlson, Aplitopand FieldGenius. If you need help, feel free to contact us by phone or via the chat below!
- Data collector. You might need a tablet or controller to run your software on. The type of tablet depends on which software you have choosen as some are Android based and some are Windows.
- Bracket and Holders. These are used to connect your tablet to your surveying pole so the whole set is easier to handle.
- Surveying pole. In order to get the best performance out of your receiver you want to minimise the disturbances around you and give it a clear sight to the satellites above. That why its recommended attaching your receiver on a 2 meter minimum surveying pole. These come in fixed rods and in telescopic rods.
Rover Base setup
When you don’t have access to an RTK network you might have to setup your own base station in order to receive corrections. These are the accessories you might need besides the receiver itself:
- A second RTK GNSS receiver. preferably from the same brand. If you already have another one, then make sure they run on the same frequency.
- Surveying software. Your receiver provides you with the coordinates you need but you still need surveying software in order to process this information. Which software you need depends on your needs. We recommend keeping it simple and don’t pay for things you don’t need. Having that said, if you do have to do complicated surveying work make sure you get the right software. Some recommended options are Apglos, Carlson, Aplitop and FieldGenius.

- Tripod and Tribrach. These are needed to setup your base station with the second receiver. The Tripod gives good stability so errors in sudden movements of the base station are avoided.
- External Radio. Most RTK GNSS receiver have an internal UHF radio build in. However, sometimes the power output is not strong enough to give you the workable distance you need and an external radio required. Internal radios can go up to 3 Watts that can work up to 8km. External radios can easily achieve 35 Watt outputs, thereby increasing your working range.
Comparable receivers from other brands
Global GPS Systems is currently in the process of independantly testing every single receiver on the market. In collaboration with an highly recognised surveying company we will be testing all receivers on its performance in increasingly more difficult environments, accuracy claims, Time to first fix, cold start and more.
