GNSS Reference Server
The GR25 is more than just a reference receiver; it is a GNSS Reference Server. Just like a data centre server, it has many requirements for reliable operation. For example: backup power supply, redundant data communications, environmental controls, high security and an easy way to monitor and support the system.
The GR25 brings many new features that fulfill all these requirements:

Prepared for today, ready for tomorrow
GNSS Signal Modernisation
With a unique exchangeable measurement engine, you can keep up to date with the latest GNSS signals, without having to exchange the whole server every few years, securing your investment into the future. The GR25 supports a variety of GNSS signals including L1, L2, L5 and supports Galileo tracking including AltBOC.
Power Management
Intelligent Power Management with four fully configurable power sources, including two external inputs, Power Over Ethernet and a removable internal battery and charger that can provide up 20 hours of data backup or between 10 to 16 hours with communications backup using mobile internet devices.
Flexible Communications
Using the unique slot in communications port a variety of removable devices such as Radio/GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS can be used and all properly managed by the GR25. New devices in the future will be easily integrated into your system, when they become available.
GNSS Data Storage
The Smart Logging functionality allows up to 10 parallel logging sessions, using MDB, RINEX v2 and v3 and Hatanaka (incl. Zip also). Data rates up to 50Hz are supported, and stored on removable SD card based storage up to 32GB. USB disk support allows storage to external USB flash drives and disks.
Meeting the highest standards
The GR25 is designed for straight-forward, clean and professional installations and offers various mounting options including 19” IT rack, wall mount, cabinet, tripod and stacking. The ultra low power consumption (3.1watts) and quad power input allow for reliable and long term operation with back up power supplies.
The new Leica RefWorx Onboard Software with a built-in web interface allows the system to be configured via Internet (LAN, WLAN, GPRS, UMTS), USB and Bluetooth. It supports 28 languages and all common web browsers. Initial configuration is made easy with the new screen and keypad or via the RefWorx Web Interface. DHCP and hostname support offer truly plug and play setup – no pre-configuration of the IP address is required. Communication over TCP/IP (LAN/WAN/Mobile Internet), USB, Bluetooth or Serial RS232 is possible.
A built in Firewall, default closed ports, comprehensive user administration and detailed event log (including communications) allow secure system administration of the GR25 Reference Server and Services.
Due to its open design the GR25 can be used with many Network RTK software suites using either proprietary or standard common formats. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support allows the GR25 Reference Server to be easily integrated into existing IT service monitoring applications.
