Sokkia GRX3 GNSS Base & Rover Kit | Precision Surveying Solutions at Theodist Ltd
Achieve centimetre-level accuracy in the most demanding environments with the Sokkia GRX3 GNSS Base & Rover Kit, paired with the SHC6000 Field Computer. Available at Theodist Ltd, PNG's authorised Topcon/Sokkia partner, this system is engineered for the rugged landscapes of Papua New Guinea—from dense tropical forests to remote mining sites.
This fully integrated all-constellation receiver kit provides the versatility needed for cadastral, construction, and engineering surveys across the provinces.
Key System Components
- Sokkia GRX3 GNSS Receivers: A compact, cable-free solution featuring 226 Universal Tracking Channels. It tracks all modernised signals (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and more) to ensure stable positioning under heavy canopy or in urban canyons.
- SHC6000 Field Computer: A rugged, 7-inch sunlight-readable tablet running Windows 10. It is IP68 waterproof and MIL-STD-810G certified, built to withstand the humidity and heat of the PNG lowlands.
- Base & Rover Workflow: The internal digital UHF radio allows for a private RTK base and rover setup, providing reliable data links up to 15km in optimal conditions without relying on local cellular networks.
Why the GRX3 is Built for PNG Field Work
- Ultra-Rugged Design: The magnesium alloy body is IP67-rated, meaning it is completely dust-tight and submersible. It operates reliably over a temperature range from -40°C to +65°C.
- Extended Battery Life: The GRX3 provides up to 10 hours of operation in RX mode, while the SHC6000 offers up to 15 hours with its swappable battery system, ensuring you can finish the full workday in the field.
- L-Band Ready: Equipped to leverage global correction services, providing high-precision positioning even when traditional base stations are unavailable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the GRX3 handle the dense tree cover found in PNG?
A: Yes. With 226 Universal Tracking Channels and all-constellation support, the GRX3 is designed to maintain a lock on more satellites than standard receivers, significantly improving performance under foliage.
Q: Where can I get training for the SHC6000 and MAGNET Field software?
A: Theodist Ltd provides technical support and product demonstrations. Visit our Survey & Drafting department in Port Moresby for more information on setup and workflow.
Q: Is the SHC6000 screen easy to see in bright PNG sunlight?
A: Absolutely. The 7-inch display is specifically engineered for high-visibility in direct sunlight, reducing eye strain and errors during midday surveys.
Survey Tip: For maximum precision in remote areas of PNG, we recommend using the Base & Rover configuration with the internal UHF radio to maintain a constant RTK link where mobile internet (GPRS/4G) may be unavailable.
