Choosing EQ10 or EQ20 for a GNSS surveying workflow
Compare the required observation method, communication and data features before selecting a receiver.
Start with the field task
The supplied brochures describe EQ10 as a GNSS RTK receiver with IMU and EQ20 as a laser GNSS RTK receiver with an AR camera, a laser-assisted aiming camera and 4G. Both list 1,408 channels and IP68 protection. Choose around the points you need to observe rather than treating added features as automatically necessary.

Read operating conditions alongside the headline figures
The brochures list up to 26 hours of rover operation and 8 GB storage for EQ10, and up to 22 hours of laser RTK rover operation and 32 GB for EQ20. EQ20 also lists laser measurement up to 200 m. Review configuration, firmware availability and accuracy conditions with the team before procurement.
