Instrument
technology
Leica patented SmartTrack+ technology
• Advanced measurement engine generation 7 (555 universal tracking channels,
flexible number of signals per satellite, more than 240 satellites multifrequency)
• Excellent resistance to interference for consistent, accurate and reliable meas-
urement data
• Industry leading Pulse Aperture Correlator (PAC) multipath mitigation technology
for superior quality measurements
• Excellent low elevation tracking
• Very low noise GNSS carrier phase measurements with <0.5 mm precision
• Minimum acquisition time

The hardware is also prepared for new signals such as GLONASS L3, Galileo E6, IRNSS L5 and L5 CDMA and
is designed for BeiDou Phase 2, Phase 3, B1, B2 and B3 compatibility. The firmware will be enhanced to
support such new signals as soon as the officially published signal interface control documentation (ICD)
becomes available and the systems operational constellation allows for commercial practical use. Gener-
ally, the tracking capability for a specific satellite system is based on publicly available information. For
cases where public information is subject to change or not yet available, Leica Geosystems cannot guar-
antee that these receivers will be fully compatible with a future generation of satellites or signals.
