The Heart of Your Wire-Free Mowing System
The Husqvarna EPOS™ RS5 Reference Station is the essential component for unlocking boundary-wire-free operation for compatible Automower® robotic mowers. This sophisticated unit handles the RTK-GNSS signals between the satellites and the mowers, providing real-time kinematic positioning data. This technology allows for centimetre-level accuracy, enabling the creation of precise and flexible virtual boundaries directly from the Automower® Connect app.
Expansive Coverage for Large & Complex Areas
Designed for scalability, the RS5 Reference Station boasts an impressive working radius of up to 500 meters. This extensive coverage makes it the ideal solution for large private estates, sports fields, and commercial properties. Furthermore, a single reference station can manage the signals for several EPOS™-enabled Automower® units working within the same area, making it a highly efficient system for maintaining vast or complex turf areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Husqvarna EPOS™ RS5 Reference Station?
The RS5 Reference Station is a fixed transmitter that receives signals from GNSS satellites. It then sends correction data to EPOS™-enabled Automower® models, allowing them to calculate their position with centimetre-level accuracy without needing a physical boundary wire.
How far does the RS5 station’s signal reach?
The Husqvarna EPOS™ RS5 Reference Station has an effective working radius of up to 500 metres, provided it has a clear line of sight to the sky and the areas where the mower will operate. This makes it suitable for very large and complex properties.
Do I need a professional to install the EPOS™ system?
Yes, professional installation is strongly recommended for any EPOS™ system. An expert installer will ensure the reference station is optimally placed for the best satellite reception and will accurately map the virtual boundaries, stay-out zones, and transport paths for reliable, trouble-free performance.
Can one RS5 reference station manage more than one robotic mower?
Absolutely. The Husqvarna EPOS™ system is designed for scalability. A single RS5 Reference Station can provide positioning data to multiple EPOS-enabled robotic mowers operating within its 500-meter radius, making it ideal for managing fleets of mowers on large sites.
