Leica SmartStation - Total Station with integrated GPS
New revolutionary surveying system. World’s first, TPS and GPS perfectly combined. High performance total station with powerful GPS receiver. No need for control points, long traverses or resections. Just set up SmartStation and let GPS determine the position.
Use TPS and GPS separately when required. Put the SmartAntenna on a pole as an RTK rover. Use the TPS as a standard total station. SmartStation's modular design gives you all the options. All TPS1200 total stations can be upgraded to SmartStation. You survey easier, quicker and with fewer set ups.

SmartStation position coordinates at the touch of a key. With SmartStation you don’t need to worry about control points, traverses and resections. Just set up wherever it’s convenient, touch the GPS key and let the SmartAntenna do the rest.
RTK determines the position to centimeter accuracy within a few seconds at ranges up to 50 KM from a reference station. With SmartStation you’re ready to go in the shortest possible time; fix the position with GPS and then survey with the total station.

GPS fully integrated into total station
With the entire software in the total station, all TPS and GPS operations are controlled via the TPS keyboard. All data are stored in the same database on the same CompactFlash card. All measurement, status and other information are displayed on the TPS screen.
The TPS plug-in battery also powers the GPS SmartAntenna and RTK communication device. All components combine perfectly. Everything is integrated into one compact unit – no need for cables, external battery, data logger etc.
Use as SmartStation, or as a total station and RTK rover
With SmartStation’s modular design, you can use the equipment in any way you like. Use SmartStation when there are no control points available.
Once SmartStation is accurately positioned, take off the SmartAntenna, put it on a pole, and use it with the RX1210 controller and GTX1230 sensor as a fully-fledged RTK rover. You’re totally flexible with SmartStation
