The ProMark 500 is a multi-constellation dual frequency surveying GPS system. The PM500 utilises GPS + Glonass + SBAS.
Flexible
The PM500 is a flexible modern GPS device.
Rover only RTK
It can be used as a Rover only RTK GPS system. Using a datacard from mobile providers such as Vodafone, Telecom or 2 Degrees, the PM500 can receive free real-time corrections from the government LINZ's PositioNZ-RT.

Base Station + Rover RTK
The PM500 can be used as a full RTK GPS system. Choose from different formats of Base to Rover communications including UHF radio, GPRS or GSM.
Base Station
Use the PM500 as a Base Station only to log raw GPS data from a known point. Use this raw data for post processing of GPS models like the ProMark 100 or ProMark 3.
Blade technology
Blade is Ashtechs state of art Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Differential GNSS (DGNSS) engine that is the core GNSS data processing technology in Ashtech's Professional products.
Blade provides increased performance by utilising L1, L2, Glonass and SBAS signals.
