HCE 600 exceeds all the requirements for your field surveying applications

Shanghai, China - November 19, 2021 - CHC Navigation (CHCNAV) announced the HCE600, a professional, lightweight, and compact field data collector with an alphanumeric keypad specifically designed for field surveying and mapping operations. With connectivity modules including Bluetooth 5.0, dual-band 2.4G and 5G Wi-Fi, and 4G modem, the HCE600 connects seamlessly and reliably to GNSS receivers and RTK network correction sources.

To withstand harsh surveying and weather environments, the HCE600 is designed to survive shock, dust, and water. Its 5.5-inch Asahi DragonTrail™ HD+ display is ultra-rugged and scratch-resistant, providing long-term performance and great protection against everyday wear and tear or accidental drops from up to 1.5 meters. The HCE600 also comes with a 90-day trial version of the LandStar Surveying and Mapping App, which integrates cloud services to easily share data and enable one-click remote support from anywhere.

Powered by an 8-core processor and Android 10

Integrating the powerful 8-core Helio MTK 6762 processor, the HCE600 delivers the best performance, runs 50% faster, and consumes 25% less power than its predecessors. The Android 10 operating system enables smooth CAD drawing management and base map display without delay, resulting in increased productivity. High-performance LPDDR4 memory transfers data faster, allowing for instant uploads of large project files.
