Units must be compact, not exceeding 11 inches in length, 7 inches in width, and 4 inches in height, weigh no more than 4.4 pounds, and meet a minimum IP65 environmental rating with operational tolerance from -40°C to +65°C. Each receiver must demonstrate a Mean Time Between Failure of at least 57,500 hours under Bellcore “Ground Benign” standards, feature a minimum of 16 Gb industrial-grade internal memory, and stream or log GNSS observables at 10 Hz or higher. Compatibility with existing USGS antennas including Topcon CR-G3, Ashtech choke ring, Septentrio/Tallysman VeraChoke, and Trimble Zephyr models is required, along with at least one year of operational history for the exact configuration proposed.
