Description

Enhanced Accuracy

The BMT8 RTK tablet represents a game-changer in GIS data collection, meticulously engineered to redefine accuracy standards. Featuring an external GNSS antenna and seamless NTRIP data corrections integration, this tablet empowers professionals to achieve unparalleled sub-centimeter precision on the go—a remarkable feat in handheld devices. Moreover, for tasks requiring slightly less precision, the BMT8 effortlessly delivers sub-meter accuracy independently, eliminating the dependency on NTRIP corrections. Its exceptional compatibility extends to leading GIS software like MicroSurvey’s FieldGenius for Android, ESRI, and Juniper’s Uinta, ensuring effortless integration into established workflows.

This lightweight Android data collector operates on the Android OS, offering a versatile platform for running an array of applications—from critical GIS tools to cloud services like Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive. Its expansive 8-inch HD IPS display prioritizes visibility and clarity, ensuring crucial data remains easily accessible and comprehensible even in challenging field conditions.

Seamlessly connected via an integrated cell modem, the tablet ensures unwavering connectivity regardless of location, facilitating uninterrupted data transmission and reception.

Facilitating comprehensive data collection, the tablet integrates a high-resolution 16 MP rear camera, empowering professionals to capture intricate details pertinent to surveyed points, enriching documentation and analysis capabilities.

In essence, the BMT8 RTK tablet encapsulates reliability, precision, and adaptability, offering GIS professionals a comprehensive solution to elevate data collection processes and set new benchmarks in accuracy and performance.

FAQs

The BMT8 supports both workflows. The published specifications list autonomous positioning below 1 m HRMS and RTK positioning at 5 cm HRMS, making it suitable for GIS data collection as well as field applications that require improved positioning accuracy with a correction source.

No. An NTRIP subscription is not inherently required, but the BMT8 does need a compatible source of RTK corrections to provide RTK positioning. The appropriate correction method depends on the equipment and field setup.

The BMT8 runs Android and is compatible with MicroSurvey FieldGenius for Android, ESRI, and Juniper Uinta. This makes it particularly useful when your existing workflow is built around Android-based GIS or field data collection rather than Windows-only surveying software.

The external antenna separates the GNSS antenna from the tablet itself, which gives you more flexibility in how the BMT8 is mounted and positioned during field work. The RTK package includes both the tablet’s RTK module and RTK antenna, so the receiver can be configured as part of a dedicated positioning workflow rather than relying only on the tablet’s internal location services.

The BMT8 is built as a rugged field tablet rather than a standard consumer Android device. It has an 8,000 mAh removable battery, IP67 water and dust protection, a 1.2 m concrete drop rating under MIL-STD-810H, and an operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C. It weighs approximately 0.66 kg with the battery installed.

The BMT8 includes 64 GB of internal storage and supports up to 128 GB of additional SD storage. That provides useful capacity for field projects, offline map data, imagery, and collected datasets, particularly when crews cannot rely on continuous cellular connectivity.

Yes. The BMT8 supports 4G LTE connectivity and RTK positioning, making it suitable for network-based correction workflows where an NTRIP service is available. This can eliminate the need to deploy a local base station for projects covered by a compatible RTK network.
