RS4 adds tilt compensation, the L5 and L6 bands, and 672 channels — a two-generation leap
About the EMLID Reach RS2+
The EMLID Reach RS2+ delivers exceptional value for survey-grade GNSS positioning. Multi-band L1/L2 tracking across all major constellations provides the reliability needed for professional surveying at approximately half the cost of comparable receivers.
With RTK precision of 7 mm + 1 ppm horizontal (4 mm + 0.5 ppm static), the RS2+ meets engineering survey requirements while making RTK technology accessible to more projects. Its 16 hours as an LTE RTK rover and IP67 rating handle demanding field conditions.
The EMLID RS4 represents a two-generation leap from the RS2+: it adds the L5 and L6 bands alongside L1/L2, 672 channels against 184, NavIC tracking, tilt compensation for measuring without levelling the pole, and IP68. For survey teams seeking maximum field efficiency, the RS4 delivers measurably faster workflows.
For new surveying projects, we recommend the EMLID RS4 for its tilt compensation and wider signal coverage. Contact us to discuss your positioning requirements—whether you need a single rover or a complete base/rover configuration.
Key Benefits
- Survey-grade RTK 7 mm + 1 ppm horizontal at an accessible price
- Multi-band L1/L2 for reliable RTK positioning
- Multi-constellation support maximizes availability
- 16 hours as an LTE RTK rover for extended field operations
- Lightweight 950 g design reduces fatigue
- Proven reliability with global user base
- Active community and excellent support
Considerations
- L1/L2 frequencies only—the RS4 adds the L5 and L6 bands and NavIC
- No tilt compensation—the RS4 adds this feature, eliminating the need to level the pole
- Two generations behind current RS4—firmware updates and new features prioritized for newer models

EMLID Reach RS2+ Frequently Asked Questions
Is EMLID RS2+ accurate enough for professional surveying?
Yes. Emlid publishes RTK precision of 7 mm + 1 ppm horizontal and static precision of 4 mm + 0.5 ppm, which meets or exceeds requirements for most professional surveys. Licensed surveyors use the RS2+ for boundary surveys, construction layout, and ground control.
Why is EMLID RS2+ so affordable compared to Trimble or Leica?
EMLID optimizes costs through direct sales, efficient manufacturing, and focused product development. The RS2+ doesn't compromise on positioning accuracy—you get survey-grade performance without paying for brand premiums or features you may not need.
Is the EMLID Reach RS2+ discontinued?
The RS2+ has been superseded first by the RS3 and now by the RS4. While RS2+ units remain functional, EMLID's development focus is on the RS4 platform. The RS2+ is two generations behind the current model.
EMLID RS2+ vs RS4: should I upgrade?
The RS4 adds tilt compensation, the L5 and L6 bands on top of L1/L2, 672 channels against 184, NavIC tracking, and IP68 against IP67. Both publish 16 hours as an RTK rover, so the gain is in signal coverage and tilt, not endurance. It is a two-generation leap that significantly improves field efficiency—especially the tilt compensation for faster point collection.
Can I use EMLID RS2+ for boundary surveys?
Yes. RTK precision of 7 mm + 1 ppm horizontal (4 mm + 0.5 ppm static) meets requirements for boundary surveys. Many licensed surveyors use the RS2+ for property boundaries, ALTA surveys, and legal descriptions. The cost savings allow surveying firms to deploy more units.
How does RS2+ compare to Trimble R12i?
Both deliver survey-grade accuracy. Trimble R12i offers tilt compensation and premium features. RS2+ costs significantly less while achieving comparable positioning accuracy. Choose based on feature requirements and budget.
What support does EMLID provide for RS2+?
EMLID offers documentation, video tutorials, community forums, and email support. The active user community shares tips, workflows, and solutions. The Emlid Flow app (formerly ReachView 3) receives regular updates with new features.
