Topcon is proud to be the world leader in advanced
satellite positioning technology. From our leadership
with dual constellation, GPS+GLONASS receivers,
springs the next generation of satellite positioning
technology – G3.
G3 is the fi rst technology to combine all three satellite
positioning systems – GPS, GLONASS, and the
European Galileo system. In addition to adding the
Galileo system to Topcon’s industry leading
GPS+GLONASS technology, the new G3 chip
technology incorporates all the planned signal
modernization of the GPS and GLONASS satellite
systems, representing a system that is designed to
track all available positioning satellite signals, available
now or planned for the future!
The new G3 technology from Topcon ensures our
users that a system they invest in today will still be
fully operational far into the foreseeable future,
eliminating the need to buy a new receiver as the
new signals come on line. Only Topcon offers the
Universal Tracking Technology found in the new G3
receiver system, demonstrating clear technology
leadership.
Just imagine combining all the power of the new G3
tracking technology in a small, rugged fi eld receiver.
The new Topcon GR-3 receiver represents the next
generation of advanced system design and tracking
technology from Topcon, and truly sets new standards of
performance, accuracy, and innovative receiver design.
Offering advanced design features not found in other
receivers, the GR-3’s modern design provides the
fl exibility and ease-of-use you demand. Bluetooth
technology provides GR-3 users with the advantages
of a completely cable-free system setup, with any
Windows CE fi eld controller, and the ultra-rugged
construction of the GR-3 is designed to take the
punishment of any jobsite.
Topcon’s GR-3 with its Universal Signal Tracking and
a wide array or advanced design features is truly a
revolutionary receiver, far ahead of any other receiver
technology available!
Welcome to the next generation of satellite positioning
technology!
