ComNav’s New Launch: Next - Generation R80 GNSS Data Collector with Enhanced Durability and Functionality

Shanghai, China, September 25, 2025 - ComNav Technology Ltd., a trailblazer in high-precision GNSS industry, is pleased to announce the release of its next generation R80 GNSS Data Collector. Engineered with a focus on durability and functionality, the R80 is set for fieldwork across various industries.

Enhanced Ergonomics and User-Friendly Design

The R80 stands out for its 51-key backlighted keyboard, which is the largest full-size keyboard among Android devices in the market. It is ergonomically designed for fast and accurate data entry, whether it's day or night. 

In a significant upgrade, the R80 now comes with 2 side-mounted data collection buttons. These buttons enable users to quickly and conveniently take measurements with just one hand, streamlining the data collection process and minimizing workflow interruptions. 

Complementing the keyboard is a 6-inch touchscreen with 1080P resolution and 500 nits brightness, offering excellent visibility even under harsh sunlight. The display supports glove touch and stylus input, allowing for easy operation in cold or wet conditions. 

The overall design of the R80 has been refined with user comfort in mind, featuring a more ergonomic shape that fits comfortably in the hand, reducing fatigue during long hours of use.

Long-Lasting Battery

Equipped with a massive 9000mAh high-capacity battery, the R80 can power through 16+ hours of continuous operation. This extended battery life ensures that field teams can work throughout the day without worrying about running out of power. When it's time to recharge, the device supports QC/PD fast charging, which can replenish the battery in just 3 hours, getting users back to work in no time.

Unmatched Durability Meets High Performance

The R80 is not just a data collector; it's a rugged companion built to endure the toughest field conditions. With an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, it can withstand exposure to water and dust without skipping a beat. Additionally, it has been tested to survive 1.5-meter drops onto concrete, ensuring that it remains operational even after accidental tumbles. This level of durability makes it ideal for use in construction sites, mining operations, forestry surveys, and other outdoor applications where equipment is prone to rough handling.

Powering the R80 is a Media Tek 8-core processor, which provides lightning-fast performance for running complex applications. Coupled with 4GB RAM + 64GB storage, users can expect seamless multitasking, quick access to CAD drawings, and efficient data management, regardless of the environment. Running on Android 12.0, the device combines the familiarity of a smartphone with the robustness required for professional GNSS work.

Seamless Connectivity

For seamless data transfer and real-time collaboration, the R80 offers a range of connectivity options. It is compatible with 4G LTE, long-range Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi, and NFC, allowing it to communicate with GNSS receivers and cloud platforms effortlessly. The TF card slot (supporting 512GB expansion) provides flexible connectivity and storage options, adapting to different work scenarios. An integrated 13MP autofocus camera captures high-definition site images, which can be used for instant reporting and sharing within the team.

"The R80 represents a significant leap forward in field data collection technology," said Mr. Jason Guo, Technical Manager at ComNav Technology. "By combining extreme durability, advanced features, and enhanced ergonomics, we've created a device that will significantly boost productivity for professionals working in demanding environments, whether it's in surveying, GIS applications, or other outdoor fields."
