The Hemisphere S631 is the latest RTK receiver from Hemisphere. Having taken lessons from the previous generation S321 and S320, the S631 is their best offering yet. With the latest RTK engine and RTK board on offer from Hemisphere, the S631 can out perform anything on the market in difficult environments.
The S631 can receive corrections from all of the major constellations, with the ability to receive all available L5 signals. What this means for you in the field is better performance under trees and near buildings.

The Phantom 40 GNSS board by Hemisphere boasts the best RTK engine on the market for mitigating multi-path noise. Multi-path noise is created when signals are reflected off of a surface before reaching the receiver. When this happens, the signal timing, which is what the reciever relies upon to calculate a position, is affected. In order to calculate an accurate and repeatable position, the RTK engine must be able to eliminate these bad signals.
The S631 uses the Athena RTK engine to remove these bad signals from the solution. The S631 can also use Hemisphere’s SureFix technology. With SureFix, two independant and different RTK engines calculate two independant solutions. Only once the two solutions are in agreement, will the fixed solution be reported.
The Hemisphere S631 utilizes the Phantom 40 RTK chip and the Athena RTK engine to have the best in class under canopy performance. With the ability to track every available L5 signal, and fix on any constellation, the S631 can out perform the biggest names in the industry. Check below to see how the S631 stacks up against the older generation S321+ and the latest RTK receivers from Trimble, Leica, and Sokkia.
The S631 boasts an internal Inertial Motion Sensor (IMU). What the IMU allows the receiver to do is record accurate and reliable positions, even when the pole is tilted. This allows you to speed up your work by up to 50% when laying out.
The IMU integrates motion and RTK data into the solution. What this means is that as you move around, the tilt sensor gains a better idea of where it is, improving results. Unlike previous generation receivers, there is no difficult and cumbersome calibration routine. All you need to do is rock the receiver back and forth for 30 seconds and you are ready to start surveying.
Tilt allows you to drastically speed up your work pace, as you do not ever have to stop to level your pole. You can place your pole on the ground and take your shot, without ever looking at the bubble.
The S631 has an internal 1 Watt Satel radio, that is capable of broadcasting many of the most common survey protocols including; TrimTalk, Pacific Crest, TrimMark and Satel. The internal radio is capable broadcasting out to a range of 7 miles, and can regularly achieve 3-4 miles with no line of site in a city environment. And if that range is not sufficent, you can always use StormCaster to broadcast your corrections over a cellular network. This eliminates the downsides of radio, while allowing for an infinite amount of range.
In order to protect the Phantom 40 board, and the long-range internal Satel radio, the S631 boasts an IP67 rating. This means that you can use the S631 come rain, sluch, dust and sun. It will be more than sufficent to stand up to the conditions you will see on site. The magnesium shell also protects against drops and accidents on site. Rated for a two meter pole drop onto concrete, the S631 can withstand anythig you throw at it.
The internal batteries in the S631 are designed to be as efficient as possible, with up to 12 hours of continuous operation possible. The internal batteries are also removeable, in order to make at easy as possible to keep working. There is no need to wait for the unit to charge once you run out of power. You can hot swap the internal batteries, so that you do not need to stop working. With the smart indicator on battery health, the S631 is the perfect solution for those who are working a long day in the field.
Juniper Mesa 3
Juniper’s Mesa 3 is a great addition to any surveyor’s kit. Running Windows 10, it’s just like your desktop in the office. In fact, the Juniper Mesa 3 Rugged Tablet is incredibly functional in the field- meaning you won’t even need to use your office desktop.
The Juniper Mesa 3 Rugged Tablet is built ultra-tough for unwavering reliability in the most rugged conditions out there. It’s the got the highest protection on the Windows tablet market against water and dust, and because of its IP68 rating, it can exceed MIL-STD-810G for humidity, and dust, vibration, altitude, shock, and temperature. Essentially, the Mesa is a beast – it can follow you into even the roughest conditions.
On top of that, the Juniper Mesa 3 battery has an outstanding life cycle; you shouldn’t ever need to replace it. It’s also designed to perform in cold temperatures, meaning you don’t have to worry about tough environments.

The radio range of the S631 has been blowng me away. I haven’t even had to use my external radio. When paired with FieldGeniu, I get an easy-to-use solution that has all of the tools I need.
Allan Andres –
The tilt feature is wonderful, and the S631 works so well under canopy! I was a bit worried about moving to FieldGenius, but it is easy to use once I had it figured out.
Sid Sandback –
We love the tilt capacity on the S631, and we cannot say enough about the Bench-Mark support. We also love the Graphical Layout in FieldGenius, it’s so easy to use.
Tom Mehdi –
The S631 has been great, with tilt we are a lot faster, and the in-canopy performance is making a big difference. Once I got used to FieldGenius, i found it to be way faster.
Shamus McGee –
We love the fact that the S631 has a 10 km base-to-rover range, and that they will fix any constellation. FieldGenius has to been the easiest and most user-friendly surveying software we have ever used.
Wes Bertoldi –
The quick fixes and accuracy of the S631 in tree canopy has been impressive. Rene and David made the transition to FieldGenius easy, and were very responsive to my questions.
David Harris –
What I really like about the S631 is that I can get a fix where no other GPS unit can go. With FieldGenius, I keep finding new features that are useful for everyday surveying.
