Overview
The Topcon G5-A1 GNSS geodetic campaign antenna is a full-wave GNSS tracking antenna in a rugged housing. This antenna was designed to track all currently broadcast signals as well as those planned for the future. The G5-A1 is a low-cost alternative to Topcon’s CR-G5 high-accuracy infrastructure antenna. It fits almost any budget, yet yields high-quality results at the same time.
Cost-sensitive for your budget-minded customer, the G5-A1 ruggedized GNSS antenna is ideal for pairing with modular base receivers in your network. Fully capable of all-in-view tracking of GNSS signals, this antenna is capable of providing clean, precise positioning data for all your infrastructure needs.
