Outstanding Data Quality with Exceptional Performance

MALÅ GX uses the innovative and patented MALÅ HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology. HDR is based on real-time sampling.

The main advantages with MALÅ HDR technology:

Reduces random noise
Faster acquisition speed
Deeper penetration without losing detail in data
Broader bandwidth

GPR Antennas With Four Different Frequencies

MALÅ GX is an integrated GPR solution with four MALÅ GX antenna options: GX80, GX160, GX450 and GX750.

MALÅ GX can be optimized for specific measurements and applications by adding different antennas. For the GX-series of antennas, there are four options to choose from using center–frequencies of 80, 160, 450 or 750MHz. The choice of antenna frequency will be governed by your application and the desired depth penetration and resolution. All new MALÅ GX antennas are app-enabled, and comes with WiFi connection per default. This enables full integration with MALÅ Controller app and MALÅ Vision.

Options And Configuration

Optimize the system for specific projects by choosing from a wide range of MALÅ GX antennas, monitor solutions and measuring devices.

Every MALÅ GX solution contains two separate main components: the GX antenna and the data acquisition computer/controller. Data acquisition is done by using the GX Controller and/or MALÅ Controller App. MALÅ Controller App connects wirelessly to the GX antenna and GX Controller can also use a cable connection. MALÅ GX is typically configured as either a push- or pull system. To configure a push-system, the MALÅ GX Controller and a MALÅ GX antenna are mounted on a Rough Terrain Cart (MALÅ RTC and RTC Mini). There are two MALÅ RTC options. MALÅ RTC fits GX 160 and smaller antennas. The MALÅ RTC Mini fits with the GX 450 or smaller antennas but is much smaller and lighter in weight. To configure a pull-system, an encoder wheel is fitted to the mounting block on the back of the antenna. The GX Controller, or MALÅ Controller App, is then carried using a monitor holder. The antenna assembly is pulled using the MALÅ GX Pulling Kit.

Monitors

Use the MALÅ GX Controller for optimal durability or use a recommended Android tablet and the MALÅ Controller App for extended functionality, light weight and wireless solution.

Antennas

The MALÅ GX HDR antenna options are: GX80, GX160, GX450, and GX750.

Carriers

Choose the MALÅ GX Pulling-kit for forested terrain or use the GX Rough Terrain Cart or Rough Terrain Cart Mini, for a wheeled solution in uneven terrain.

MALÅ Controller App

MALÅ Controller App is an easy-to-use acquisition software to help you go as fast as possible from data collection to delivering results

The intuitive user interface lets you view and interpret while data is being collected. All with real-time interpretation support from MALÅ AI. Set gain and contrast, remove background noise and set object and surface markers. The touch-based interface speeds up your survey, letting you deliver results quicker.

Controller App Demo

Dynamic Grid

This new feature helps users plan and perform grid measurements without the need of a measuring tape and paint/marker. Users can define a virtual grid, overlaid on any background map being used. The grid, together with the position of the antenna, will be visible as data is collected, helping users to better results. The Dynamic Grid feature requires precise positioning, such as RTK GNSS.

MALÅ Vision

Processing software for the Easy Locator Core

MALÅ Vision is easy-to-use GPR processing software for handling of GPR data, developed for usage on any device for all types of GPR users. MALÅ Vision includes MALÅ AI for automated interpretation support and other powerful features such as automated polylines. The built in MALÅ AI of the MALÅ Vision cloud-based post processing software will provide further support by analyzing the markers and pointing to the location of possible pipes and cables in your data set. Document all buried assets. View your results on Google maps or OpenLayers, use satellite images or Street view (first person view) of your site. Export your results as printed maps, dxf or kmz for easy sharing.
