And, it then allows you to make a weighted average of those 4 shots.
My new Trimble R8s will do that, too. It did cost somewhat more at $27K for the pair (no dc, already had one). And the radio is 0.2 watts.
Anybody with either fully configured r8's, or r10's, that would like to go find out... What comes from a side by side comparison, I'd like to find out. I have a number of ideas on how to do this.
Or, ANY brand of gear...
Curiosity is what drives me. Having carried a plumb bob for 40 years, there is a fulfilment in better gear.
Anybody want to go find out for yourselves?
It'd be fun, and we'd learn, and get a better feel for what's available.

O, and btw, I live between Missouri, and Texas. Missouri is the "show me" state, and Texas is the "mine's bigger than yours" state.
(just to help out with geography...)

I went down to a South Georgia pine forest for a surveyor who had done an internship with one of the major manufactures of GNSS equipment in the Silicon Valley. He knows the dealer in Georgia very well and had worked for the real time network provider in that area too. He invited them to come out that day and invited them to come out a couple weeks later. He had checked the points we surveyed in the pine forest with his total station and checked within .1' and was blown away. For some reason he hasn't been able to get them to come out. It was a 7 hour drive one way for me, probably a 2 hour drive for them. I too would like to see some real world comparisons. I really don't know how the Javad would stack up against the awesome new equipment out there. Nobody wants to come out and play.;)
