RS4 offers tilt compensation, L1/L5 frequencies, and 22-hour battery — 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 4mm + 0.5ppm accuracy—the best in its class—the RS2+ meets engineering survey requirements while making RTK technology accessible to more projects. The 16-hour battery and IP67 water resistance handle demanding field conditions.
The EMLID RS4 represents a two-generation leap from the RS2+: upgraded L1/L5 frequencies (replacing L1/L2), tilt compensation for measuring without leveling the pole, 22-hour battery life (38% longer), IP68 waterproofing, and 5G readiness. 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 extended battery life. Contact us to discuss your positioning requirements—whether you need a single rover or a complete base/rover configuration.

EMLID Reach RS2+ Frequently Asked Questions
Is EMLID RS2+ accurate enough for professional surveying?
Yes. The 4mm + 0.5ppm accuracy meets or exceeds requirements for most professional surveys. Licensed surveyors use RS2+ for boundary surveys, construction layout, and ground control. The accuracy is verified and consistent.
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The RS2+ has been superseded first by the RS3 and now by the RS4.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 offers tilt compensation, L1/L5 frequencies (vs L1/L2), 22-hour battery (vs 16h), IP68 waterproofing (vs IP67), and 5G readiness. This 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. The 4mm + 0.5ppm accuracy exceeds requirements for boundary surveys. Many licensed surveyors use 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 approximately 70-80% 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. ReachView 3 app receives regular updates with new features.
