A smart antenna, also known as an adaptive antenna, is an advanced antenna system that utilizes sophisticated signal processing techniques to enhance wireless communication performance. It intelligently adjusts its radiation pattern and beamforming capabilities to optimize signal reception, improve coverage, and mitigate interference. This technology allows for better signal quality, increased data transfer rates, an extended range, and improved overall network performance. Using a smart antenna in construction offers improved signal reception, increased data transfer rates, enhanced coverage, and optimized network performance.
Leica Geosystems’ iCON GPS 160 is a significantly enhanced, next-generation construction smart antenna with features that increase productivity in all stakeout and measurement applications on the job site.
According to GPSWorld, ‘The Leica iCON construction portfolio offers a broad range of smart antennas to fit every construction professional’s needs. From basic level to sophisticated high-end applications, Leica Geosystems’ smart antennas are designed and built to withstand challenging site conditions. All of them seamlessly integrate with all Leica iCON construction instruments and controllers as well as the iCON field software for precise, real-time verification.’
Hexagon describes the Leica iCON GPS 160 as ‘the most versatile and reliable GNSS smart antenna for the construction industry because of its flexibility and ability to support you in a variety of daily on-site tasks. The iCON GPS 160 features a large colour display with clear navigation for quick and easy setup without additional hardware. And if you want to have it all, this smart antenna is optionally available with tilt compensation of up to 20 degrees, offering even more convenience.
