PozStar S5 RTK GNSS Receiver for Surveying and Construction
The PozStar S5 is a compact, durable RTK GNSS receiver designed for professionals who need accurate coordinates without adding unnecessary weight or complexity to their field equipment. It can be used for topographic surveying, construction layout, boundary work, utility mapping, GIS data collection and general site measurement.
With a weight of approximately 793 grams, the receiver is comfortable to carry during longer surveying sessions. Its die-cast housing, IP67 protection and tested resistance to two-metre drops help protect the equipment from dust, rain, mud and the knocks that are common on construction sites and outdoor projects.
Multi-constellation GNSS tracking
The S5 uses a 1,408-channel GNSS board that tracks signals from GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, NavIC and supported SBAS services. Access to multiple constellations and frequencies gives the receiver more satellite observations to work with, which is particularly useful near buildings, trees and other obstacles that can restrict the view of the sky.
For RTK work, the specified accuracy is 0.8 cm + 1 ppm horizontally and 1.5 cm + 1 ppm vertically under suitable operating conditions. This level of positioning is intended for work such as recording survey points, setting out foundations, checking site features, mapping assets and collecting accurate coordinates for CAD or GIS workflows.
Measure efficiently with 60 degree IMU tilt compensation
The integrated MEMS IMU allows the survey pole to be tilted by up to 60 degrees while the receiver compensates for the pole angle. Surveyors and construction workers can therefore measure points beside walls, beneath overhangs, at fence lines or inside excavations without having to keep the pole perfectly vertical.
Tilt measurement can make point collection faster and reduce the physical effort needed to level the pole for every observation. It is especially practical for repetitive site measurements and for locations where direct access above the target point is limited.
Flexible RTK correction options
The PozStar S5 can receive network RTK corrections through an Android controller, smartphone or tablet running compatible field software and connected to an NTRIP service. This configuration is suitable for users working within mobile data coverage and an available RTK correction network.
An optional 410–470 MHz UHF radio supports local radio corrections when the receiver is used in a compatible base and rover configuration. Supported correction and output formats include RTCM 2.x, RTCM 3.x, NMEA 0183 and static RINEX data, making the receiver suitable for a range of surveying and positioning workflows.
PozPad Android field software
The receiver works with PozPad, PozStar’s Android-based field application. The software supports the collection of control points and survey data, mapping input and drawing-related field tasks. Bluetooth connectivity allows the receiver to communicate wirelessly with a compatible Android data collector, smartphone or tablet.
This Android-based workflow gives users flexibility when selecting a controller. The most suitable setup will depend on the required field functions, software compatibility, environmental protection and preferred data-export process.
Built for full working days
A built-in 6,700 mAh lithium-ion battery provides up to 12 hours of stated operation in RTK rover mode and up to 18 hours during static observations. Power consumption varies with the selected functions and communication settings, but the battery capacity is designed to support normal day-to-day fieldwork without frequent charging.
The USB Type-C connection is used for charging, data transfer and firmware updates. Wi-Fi access-point functionality, Bluetooth Low Energy and 8 GB of internal storage provide additional options for receiver management and data recording.
Who is the PozStar S5 designed for?
The S5 is a practical choice for land surveyors who need an everyday RTK rover, construction teams setting out or checking project coordinates, GIS operators collecting accurate asset positions, and engineers carrying out site measurements. It can also support control surveys, static observations and mapping projects where reliable multi-frequency GNSS data is required.
- Topographic and cadastral surveying
- Construction positioning and site layout
- Road, utility and infrastructure measurement
- GIS asset and feature collection
- Control-point and static GNSS observations
Buying the PozStar S5 from Global GPS Systems
Global GPS Systems can help configure the PozStar S5 for the intended workflow, whether it will be used with an RTK network, an existing UHF base station or as part of a complete base and rover solution. Selecting the correct controller, field software, radio configuration and accessories before deployment helps ensure that the equipment fits the user’s current surveying process.
For buyers comparing RTK GNSS receivers, the PozStar S5 combines a lightweight housing, broad satellite support, centimetre-level RTK positioning and practical tilt measurement in a durable receiver intended for regular professional field use.
