Tougher than Tough Enough. The R780 GNSS Smart Antenna is precise, reliable and versatile. With integrated dual-band radio, the R780 can serve as a GNSS rover system or as a base station. From surveying to machine guidance, the R780 does it all.

Features and Benefits

GNSS receiver, antenna, integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, dual-band radio [450 / 900 MHz] and battery all in one compact and easy-to-use unit
Eliminate downtime with the most rugged receiver Trimble has ever built – it’s virtually indestructible
Work more efficiently in the dark or hard to reach locations with a sensor to show verticality on the field controller screen; saving time when you can’t easily see the rod bubble
Longer battery life keeps you working longer in the field

Using the R780 GNSS Smart Antenna and Trimble Siteworks Positioning Software, capture accurate points while standing, walking or driving the site in a vehicle, while the receiver is not level. From a moving vehicle, capture higher accuracy measurements on steeper slopes and more accurate volume measurements to save time and money on material planning.

Faster measurements, more efficient stake-outs
Easy to learn for beginners, saves time for experienced surveyors
Safely survey hard to reach areas (corners, traffic lanes, utility flowlines)
No magnetic interference

Scalable from entry-level to high precision applications to fit your needs
Can be easily moved from carrying case to range pole, tripod, t-bar, or vehicle
Easier and faster to get going and allows for more flexibility of operation techniques
Integrated dual-band radio to work on any site, switching between 450 and 900 MHz as needed — ideal for mixed fleet operations
Better performance in challenging GNSS environments (blocked sky, multi-path, or degraded signal) thanks to the dual Trimble Maxwell 7 GNSS ASIC chip and Trimble ProPoint technology

Trimble ProPoint GNSS technology uses all available signals to provide survey-grade positioning in challenging environments where other GNSS systems fail
Trimble xFill technology expands site productivity by allowing short excursions into valleys and other locations where GNSS corrections were not previously available

Included for the first 12 months, Trimble CenterPoint RTX is a real-time GNSS corrections service available globally via satellite or the internet. It provides RTK-level accuracy at fast convergence times, without the need for a base station or real-time network.
