Supercharged by SoC technology
Galaxy G3 is a new product from SOUTH SoC platform,
most components of G3 (GNSS module, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,
etc.) are integrated on one circuit board. G3 has lower power
consumption, and efficiently improves the ability of receiving
higher quality satellites signals.

Powerd by the new SoC GNSS board, new generation

sensitivity satellite antenna, new ROS platform and
GNSS RTK engine, G3 can fully track GPS, GLONASS,
BDS, GALILEO and QZSS toobtain centimeter-level
positioning in few seconds.

Now G3 supports the BeiDou-3 B2b L-band BDS-PPP

corrections to get real-time centimeter
level positioning services.

Thanks to the new function "Fixed-keep", now it is

possible for G3 to keep centimeter-level accuracy
for few minutes when the RTK corrections is missing.

Longer battery life

Thanks to the SOC technology, G3 achives higher
performance and lower power consumption. The
built-in 6800mAh Li-ion battery can continuously
work 15 hours(Rover Bluetooth mode).

G3 adopts Type-C charging interface which supports

PD protocol quickly charging, the battery can be fully
charged in 3 hours and then supports full-day work.

Now G3 also supports the external phone portable

battery, to continue the work even internal battery
is used
IMU for tilt survey Super radio and Farlink protocol
Galaxy G3 is intergrated with the latest Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). Galaxy G3 is packaged with SOUTH "Beaver" super radio and the exclusive
Featured with anti-magnetic chracteristic, you can start the tilt survey in any place. "Farlink" protocol. The "Beaver" super radio is more power saving, "Farlink"
Shaking to initialize the IMU sensor, no need to calibrate. Up to 200Hz IMU data protocol has larger bandwidth. The combination of "Beaver" super radio and
output rate, boosting the speed of field work. "Farlink" protocol makes better performance on signal capturing.
