Building on the success of the Champion HC1 and HC2, the HC3 comes with a 1 GHz CPU in addition to the external long range Bluetooth antenna and u-blox chip introduced with the HC2. The long range Bluetooth radios allow two HC3's to work as a base and rover pair to 3000' and beyond using external GNSS antennas. With the proper network correction, a single HC3 will operate as a network rover*! Static sessions are even supported. The long range Bluetooth radio in the HC3 is capable of operating the GeoMax Zoom90 robot beyond 3000'.
