Emesent GX1: The World’s Most Accurate RTK SLAM Mobile LiDAR Scanner

Last updated on

17th February

Contents

    When your project demands both speed and accuracy, compromise is no longer acceptable.

    The Emesent GX1 is redefining mobile mapping by combining RTK precision, advanced SLAM technology, integrated 360° imaging and flexible deployment options in one powerful device.

    If you are looking for a high-accuracy mobile LiDAR scanner that delivers reliable global positioning, repeatable results and simplified workflows, the GX1 is built for you.

    What Is the Emesent GX1?

    The Emesent GX1 is a next-generation RTK-enabled SLAM LiDAR scanner designed for surveyors, engineers, infrastructure professionals, mining operations and asset owners who require both local detail and trusted global accuracy.

    It integrates:

    • Premium RTK receiver with PPK support
    • Advanced Emesent SLAM technology
    • Hesai XT32M2X LiDAR sensor
    • Four integrated 20MP cameras
    • Flexible mounting options
    • Cloud-enabled visualisation via Aura Cloud

    The result is one device capable of handling complex indoor, outdoor, GPS-denied and hybrid environments without sacrificing data confidence.

    Why Accuracy Is Everything in Mobile Mapping

    Many mobile LiDAR systems produce impressive local detail. The problem is global alignment.

    Without global accuracy:

    • Floors do not stack correctly
    • Multiple passes fail to align
    • Measurements between areas cannot be trusted
    • Drift accumulates across the site

    The GX1 closes what professionals often call the “global accuracy gap”.

    RTK-SLAM Accuracy You Can Trust

    Using integrated RTK with optional local base station support, the GX1 delivers:

    • 15mm 3D RMSE RTK-SLAM accuracy (1km baseline, no control)
    • 5–10mm repeatable global accuracy
    • Verified results measured against independent control points
    • Improved drift and repeatability

    This is not just precision. It is dataset confidence.

    If you extract measurements from opposite sides of a site, you can trust the result.

    Integrated RTK and Flexible Georeferencing

    One of the biggest advancements in the GX1 is its georeferencing flexibility.

    It includes:

    • Integrated 448-channel RTK receiver
    • 4G modem with nano SIM support
    • PPK capability
    • Support for control points where required

    Whether you are mapping:

    • Open outdoor infrastructure
    • Road corridors
    • Industrial facilities
    • Urban environments with partial GNSS obstruction
    • Indoor or underground spaces

    You can configure your georeferencing strategy to match the environment, not fight it.

    LiDAR and Imaging Performance

    LiDAR Specifications

    The GX1 features the Hesai XT32M2X LiDAR sensor:

    • 300 metre range
    • 640,000 points per second (single return)
    • 1,920,000 points per second (triple return)
    • 32 channels
    • Proprietary static-dynamic LiDAR-IMU calibration

    This enables fast capture of dense, high-quality point clouds across large environments.

    360° Integrated Cameras

    The GX1 includes four integrated 20MP cameras delivering:

    • 360° x 142° field of view
    • 0.96mm per pixel at 1 metre
    • 4.8mm per pixel at 5 metres
    • Automatic masking of people
    • Configurable image masking options

    The improvement in image clarity and colourisation quality makes inspection, stakeholder reporting and asset documentation significantly more powerful.

    One Device. Any Project.

    The GX1 is designed for deployment flexibility.
