South INNO7 Product Review

Get to now the South INNO7 RTK GPS receiver

What can you expect from the South INNO7

The Fast IMU

INNO7 is integrated with a new generation IMU module that allows only 2-5s of shaking receiver to complete the initialisation, and the maximum tilt compensation angle can be 60 degrees. it can ignore magnetic interference while RTK receiver works in such magnetic environment. This professional IMU module can keep the tilt effect for about 40s if RTK receiver stays at a point without moving.

How to set up IMU Tilt sensor in Microsurvey FieldGenius Android?

The South INNO 7 LCD touchscreen.

15 KM Just use the built in radio only

it is not a dream to achieve 15km working distance by using the inbuilt radio.

FarLink protocol

INNO7 adopts an internal radio with 3W maximum transmission power to achieve the typical working range as 15km trough Far-link protocol.

The transmission bandwidth becomes a large, wich perfectly solves the problem of large data volume of multiple constellations transmission. and the power consumption can reduce about 60% in the same amount of data transmission compare to the traditional RTK

touch Screen interaction

HD 1.54 inch color LCD touch screen has the South INNO7 with high brightness an low power consumption is more suitable for field work, which is convenient and efficient to complete touch settings, information browsing, function settings

South INNO7 RTK GNSS receiver is equipped with a 336 channel GNSS board. In combination with an RTK Subscription this receiver is capable of providing centimetre accuracy in real time. The South INNO7 is equipped with a high-speed 5G full net com module, which supports the latest 5G communication network and gives RTK’s high speed information interactions and wider expansion space in the big data era. Based on intelligent PPP dial up technology, INNO7 realises automatic dealing in real-time and keeps online during working. The INNO7 adopts an internal radio with 3W maximum transmission power to achieve the typical working range as 15km through “Far-Link” protocol. The transmission bandwidth becomes large, which perfectly solves the problem of large data volume of multiple constellation transmissions. And the power consumption can reduce 60% in the same amount of data transmission compare to the traditional RTK. It comes with a HD 1.54 inch color LCD touch screen with high brightness and low power consumption. It is suitable for fieldwork. With the touch screen you have access to all settings, information and functionalities. The INNO7 has a standard IMU tilt sensor. This can be used for tilt surveying up to 60 degrees. Currently the IMU feature is only compatible with the South SurvX software and Microsurvey FieldGenius.

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.

That why its recommended attaching your receiver on a 2 meter minimum surveying pole. These come in fixed rods and in telescopic rods.
• 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.

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.
