The GRS-1 receiver is a dual-frequency, GPS +
GLONASS L1, L2 receiver and hand-held controller built
to be the most advanced, compact, and portable receiver
for the GIS and surveying market.
An integrated electronic compass and digital camera
make the GRS-1 an all-purpose device that can also be
utilized as a field collector.
The GRS-1 can receive and process both L1 and L2
signals while using an external PG-A1 antenna.
The GRS-1 provides the functionality, accuracy,
availability, and integrity needed for fast and easy data
collection.

• Survey Grade / Precision Mapping - for use as a
member of a Real Time Network. The configuration for
this would be a GRS-1 receiver on the pole connected to
an external PG-A1 antenna on top.
• Sub-meter – field work done without an external PG-A1
antenna. Configured within TopSURV to use Satellite
Based Augmentation System (SBAS). Excellent for GIS
code and attribute data collection, recognaissance, or
rough delineation.
• Hand-Held Controller – Integrated mini serial port,
Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi wireless LAN technology allows the
GRS-1 to be easily connected to all Topcon hardware.

• Topcon GRS-1 receivers are available with either an internal GSM or
CDMA modem. Only GSM modems use SIM (Subscriber Identity
Module) cards. CDMA modems do not have SIM cards.
• Using either modem type, it is common to describe to the cellular
provider that you need a, “No Obligation / Unlimited data plan (no
voice).” Tell the sales representative that you have your own
hardware.
