Quectel has introduced an all-in-one high performance quad band base station solution, capable of connecting to the cloud to deliver GNSS correction data, for use either standalone or within an RTK station network. The LR700A smart connected GNSS receiver has a modular design that integrates the GNSS receiver with cellular, Wi-Fi, and antenna systems, while providing extension slots for Zigbee short-range communication.

Cellular connectivity makes the system highly versatile, enabling deployment anywhere without requiring existing infrastructure, suitable for establishing RTK correction services in remote locations. The integrated short-range communication capabilities make it suitable for pairing directly with nearby rovers, creating a complete RTK solution for localised high-precision applications.

The quad-band GNSS receiver enables simultaneous reception of signals from GPS, Galileo, BDS, GLONASS, QZSS and NavIC constellations across the L1, L2, L5 and E6 frequency bands. The Quectel LR700A supports 1040 channels, enabling flexible data transmission and remote management with cellular, ethernet and Wi-Fi networks.

Easy monitoring and configuration over local networks are ensured via an intuitive web-based interface.

Designed to function as a base station, the Quectel LR700A is designed to deliver precise GNSS corrections and positioning for high accuracy applications including smart agriculture and precision farming use cases, surveying and mapping, autonomous vehicles and outdoor robotics, such as lawnmowers.

The LR700A’s ultra-low power consumption makes it suitable for power constrained use cases with typical consumption of up to approximately 2.1W with ultra-wide range voltage support from 9-36V. The LR700A weighs 2.1 kg, has a diameter of 220 mm and height of 149 mm and operates in the -40°C to +85°C temperature range. Support for local Wi-Fi web user interfaces and remote cloud configuration allow simplified field installation.

Featuring an IP67 rated, industrial-grade design, the LR700A is resistant to shock, impact, drop, lightning and ultra-violet light damage. Certifications for CE, FCC, RoHS and REACH compliance are in progress.

“This highly versatile product enables developers to specify an all-in-one, full-constellation receiver that supports multi-frequency tracking while offering ultra-low power consumption and a robust, industrial-grade design,” commented Windy Fang, Director, GNSS Product Line, Quectel Wireless Solutions. “Its power efficiency and integrated, compact design make it ideal for use cases where space and energy are constrained.”
