Built with a powerful 1408‑channel RF‑SoC processor and CHCNAV’s iStar algorithm, the i93 delivers up to 15% improved RTK positioning performance, especially in challenging environments. Its hybrid engine and interference mitigation boost GNSS data quality by over 20%, offering reliable centimeter-level accuracy apekstool.com+13Geospatial+13Geospatial+13.
The dual “star‑level” cameras offer immersive 3D AR-style guidance: a clear directional arrow and real-time distance to points are displayed on LandStar™, with the stakeout point visually marked on the ground. This boosts stakeout efficiency by up to 50%, particularly for operators with less experience Unmanned Systems Technology+6Geospatial+6Surveying Company+6.
Through integrated video‑photogrammetry, the i93 captures dynamic panoramic video and quickly generates survey‑grade 3D coordinates—even in obstructed or hard-to-reach areas. This workflow can enhance productivity by up to 60% and doubles efficiency in 3D modeling tasks thanks to automatic image matching and up to 85% overlap between frames Geospatial+6Unmanned Systems Technology+6Surveying Company+6.
The built-in 200 Hz Auto‑IMU eliminates manual initialization, automatically compensating pole tilt (up to ~60°) with a tilt error within a few centimeters. This makes field use flexible—whether carried on the shoulder, handheld, or horizontal—improving speed and ease of use by up to 30% YouTube+11Geospatial+11adeptiot.co.za+11.
With smart power management and a 9900 mAh or 9600 mAh battery, the i93 operates as an RTK rover for up to 34 hours, base station for up to 16 hours, and static survey for up to 36 hours without recharging YouTube+13Geospatial+13Directindustry+13.
Its magnesium‑alloy housing provides IP68 ingress protection and IK08 impact resistance, making it durable in demanding environments apekstool.com.
Supports Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi, and NFC for easy pairing with controllers and tablets; integrated 4G LTE and UHF modem (410–470 MHz) allow RTK operation in all modes. This enables seamless data collection workflows in any field scenario Geospatial+5Geospatial+5Unmanned Systems Technology+5.
Proven effective in 3D modeling of complex structures like cultural heritage sites, where it streamlined field data capture, reduced costs, and improved detail in models. Its output is compatible with software like ContextCapture and Smart3D, enabling efficient merging with drone data Surveying Company+3Unmanned Systems Technology+3Geospatial+3.
