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.
Construction surveyors can capture accurate points without leveling the pole to work faster and safer.
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.
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. Learn more at rtx.trimble.com

When used as a rover, the R780 enables wide variety of site measurement tasks including pole-mounted for grade checking, ATV-mounted for progress monitoring, and truck-mounted for site supervision.
For initial site reconnaissance you can use the R780 with satellite-delivered CenterPoint RTX—no base station needed. For higher accuracy site measurements such as grade checking, it can receive Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) corrections via the integrated Wi-Fi, dual-band radio or the internet.
A grade checker can mount the R780 to an ATV and easily conduct site topos, check as-builts and verify road centerlines where it is not easy or safe to walk with a range pole. Extending its productivity, the same unit can then be mounted on the roof of a supervisor's truck roof to collect and manage progress data.
As a base station, the R780 incorporates Wi-Fi communications for small site projects and dual-band radio for long-range operations on large projects.
Designed for ease of use, it will automatically establish a connection and transmit RTK corrections to another rover or machine control system thanks to Trimble AutoBase. When it is that easy, construction crews can spend more time doing the work and less time setting up and maintaining the equipment.
