The DC50 features optional Bluetooth connectivity. In fact, we are the only data collector to offer built-in long range Bluetooth. While other units offer around 30 feet of range, a DC50 with long range bluetooth can communicate up to 1700 feet with a paired Universal Bluetooth radio. This can eliminate the need for a seperate radio system for most users!
Single Bluetooth
The optional DC50 Bluetooth modules are mounted internally in the case. There are no protruding antennas to snag or break. If your total station has Bluetooth connectivity, you will be able to connect and free yourself from cable issues.
Don't have Bluetooth in your instrument? No problem. Using one of our Universal Bluetooth radios, you can easily add a power efficient module to your instrument. These radios will run for 3-5 weeks on just four AA batteries. They are the only Bluetooth radios on the market with internal antennas for maximum durability.
With a paired Precision Bluetooth radio, conventional total stations can be turned into "robots". Leaving one crew member at the instrument to aim, you can control exactly where and when your shot is triggered from the rod-just like with a robot!
