Package includes
Yes. The Archer 4 is designed as a rugged field handheld for data collection and can run Android mapping and survey applications. When combined with the optional GNSS expansion, it can also support sub-meter and RTK positioning workflows for higher-accuracy field mapping.
The standard Archer 4 is a rugged handheld, while the GNSS Expansion Pod is a separate expansion that adds the higher-precision GNSS capability. With the expansion installed, Juniper specifies sub-meter through RTK positioning and supports multi-constellation GNSS.
Yes. The GNSS expansion can connect to NTRIP/RTK correction services through the Archer 4’s cellular or internet connectivity. Juniper’s documentation specifies RTCM 3.x support and notes that NTRIP services require an internet or cellular connection and typically a service subscription.
Yes. Juniper provides documented workflows for connecting the Archer 4 GNSS expansion to both ArcGIS Field Maps and ArcGIS Survey123, including NTRIP/RTK correction workflows. The Archer Connect software is used to configure the GNSS expansion and establish the correction connection.
The Archer 4 uses a removable battery and is available with different battery capacities. Juniper’s specifications list approximately 8 hours or more with the 4,500 mAh battery and 18 hours or more with the optional 8,300 mAh battery, while the internal battery allows the main battery to be hot-swapped.
Yes. The Archer 4 includes an internal battery that supports hot swapping of the removable main battery. This lets field crews change batteries while maintaining power to the handheld rather than shutting down and restarting the device during a work session.
Yes. The Archer 4 is IP68 rated and designed to meet MIL-STD-810H test procedures covering conditions such as low and high temperatures, rain, humidity, sand and dust, vibration, and shock. Juniper specifies an operating range of -20°C to 60°C, which is particularly relevant for outdoor work across Canada’s varied climate conditions.
The Archer 4 supports 5G with 4G LTE fallback and dual Nano SIM slots, providing flexibility for connected field applications and NTRIP-based workflows. The supported cellular bands include several North American LTE bands, but coverage still depends on the carrier and the specific location where the device is being used.
The main difference is form factor and operating system: the Archer 4 is a compact Android handheld designed for one-handed field use, while the Mesa 4 is a larger Windows tablet intended for workflows that benefit from a full desktop operating system and larger display. The Archer 4 is therefore better suited to lightweight mobile data collection, while the Mesa 4 is more appropriate when your software or workflow requires Windows.
