And I hope to see more development along these lines:
OVERVIEW
The i90 Pro GNSS receiver combines the latest CHCNAV??s IMU-RTK technology and the compatibility with L-Band corrections services to extend RTK positioning, in any locations.
Unlike the standard MEMS-based GNSS receivers, the i90 Pro GNSS IMU-RTK combines state-of-the-art GNSS RTK engine, a high-end calibration-free IMU sensor and advanced GNSS tracking capabilities to dramatically increase RTK availability and reliability.
The i90 automatic pole-tilt compensation boosts survey and stakeout speed by up to 20%. Construction and land surveying projects are achieved with high productivity and reliability pushing the boundaries of conventional GNSS RTK survey

It sounds like they're pushing the envelope with what Leica started with their GS18t??ÿ It will be interesting to hear some feedback from someone with hands-on experience.
It will be fascinating to see what the big guys do to get people to buy their $30k receivers in 10 years.
Precision GNSS seems to be racing to the bottom. Now, if we could have the same happen for Robotic Total Stations, I would be happy.
I believe Eastern Europe is where the academic concept of 'network rover' came from?
