Chapter I : A brief introduction of S8
The new STONEX S8 are the natural completion of the range of GNSS receivers by STONEX.
After S8III and S7 Series, S8 gives new opportunities to exactly fit the Surveyor’s needs,
featuring top performances with a budget price.
Like the elder brother S8III, S8 is able to receive both of GPS signal frequencies and also
satellite signals from GLONASS, GALILEO, COMPASS and SBAS, so we can correctly speak about
a “GNSS receiver”.
STONEX S8 comes with a complete range of receivers, and can be equipped with internal UHF
transmitting and receiving radio modem, while the GSM/GPRS module for GPS network
connection and direct call, and the Bluetooth™ device for wireless purposes are standard
equipments on all the S8 GNSS.
STONEX S8 base configuration can transmit with the built-in 0.5-1 W radio or can be
connected to a more powerful external radio at user's disposal in order to reach the requested
metric range.
A new Italian design with an aluminum bottom cover allows a better heat dissipation for
internal radio modem. The batteries and built-in radio are set at the bottom of mainframe,
giving more effective dustproof and waterproof qualities and making the S8 receiver a better
performer in field of surveying. The Wireless receiver unit weighs only 1.2 kg: which means
that the rover is light and easy to carry. The low power consumption of receiver allows users to
carry out and work for long time with only one single battery.
STONEX S8 receivers ensure a quick setup for all required working mode.
The 100% compatibility with STONEX S8III and S8II, and with Trimtalk™ protocol, lets you to
combine S8 as a TX Base unit with other STONEX and non STONEX Rover GNSS receivers.
Thanks to the new integrated suited CUBE software, survey has never been so easy. Cube
combines a fresh and easy interface with a simple and powerful workflow for the user. Its
integration with STONEX GNSS receivers makes CUBE the essential tool for professionals’ day-
