Introduction

The Juniper Systems Geode GNS3 GNSS Receiver is a precision GNSS receiver. With the Geode, you can collect real-time, centimeter, decimeter, sub-foot, or sub-meter, GNSS data. It works with a wide range of iPhone®, iPad®, Android®, and Windows® devices to fit your needs. Take the Geode with you mounted on a pole, in a pack, or held in your hand to collect real-time GNSS data in harsh environments—including heavy tree canopy and mountainous areas—using almost any handheld device. 

Like other Juniper Systems products, the Geode is built ultra-rugged. Rated IP68, it is dustproof as well as waterproof to a depth of 1.4 meters (4.5 ft) for 30 minutes or longer. It can survive multiple drops from 1.2 meters (4 ft) to concrete. It is designed to withstand harsh environments and provide a consistently reliable performance. While stand-alone single-frequency GPS receivers are accurate to only two to five meters or more, the Geode uses NTRIP/RTK, SBAS, Atlas^®, or GALHAS corrections and combines complex smoothing algorithms and full-wave carrier phase tracking to deliver precision GNSS accuracy depending on the configuration.

Note: GNSS accuracy is subject to observation conditions, multipath environment, number of satellites in view, satellite geometry, and ionospheric activity.

The Geode GNS3 is available in two hardware configurations with multiple activations and subscriptions to meet a variety of needs.
