Opera XR

The advanced dual antenna GPR solution powered by EsT technology for easy utility detection

Opera XR is the compact, easy to transport and deploy dual-antenna GPR system for fast and accurate underground asset detection; featuring the new radical Equalized scrambled Technology - EsT by IDS GeoRadar, Opera XR easily brings underground assets detection to the deepest and clearest level.

Thanks to the IDS GeoRadar patented EsT technology, Opera XR delivers an unparalleled detecting performance providing the best data quality and increasing penetration depth by up to 60% compared to traditional devices. 

This technology is able to exploit the entire radiating performance of the antenna for full control of the GPR signal, Opera XR provides users with an accurate detection of underground utilities and an optimal data quality with the best noise rejection for their peace of mind and safety.

With on-site marking, real-time digitalisation, and reporting capabilities directly in the field, the Opera XR empowers professionals to locate and mark utilities with unparalleled ease and accuracy, accelerating workflows and ensuring faster project completion.

Benefits of Opera XR include:

  • Revolutionary EsT technology: for an unparalleled control of the GPR signal, extended depth range and ultra-high resolution;
  • Streamlined field operations with the Quick Scan Mode saving time and reducing costs;
  • Simplified detection workflow: easy deployment and set-up for single user with a higher productivity;
  • Designed for ergonomics: lightweight, compact and foldable. The height-adjustable antenna mounting system allows for a superior performance across urban scenarios;
  • Easy polarization switch of the antenna from HH to VV with a simple move;
  • Non-Stop Performance: Hot swap technology for power supply enables uninterrupted data acquisition.

Designed for flexibility: compact, light and customisable


Opera XR allows effortless data collection with its lightweight (20 kg | 44 lb), modular and compact design.
The dual-frequency antenna mounting system is height-adjustable and offers an easy polarization switch (HH and VV). Handlebar is foldable for easy deployment and the device can be easily maneuvered and transported by a single operator.


Premium on-site performance: see more, better and deeper


Opera XR boasts unmatched resolution and extraordinary depth investigation detecting hidden utilities more clearly at both shallow and deeper levels.
The “Quick Scan” mode helps streamline field operations with an intuitive and easy detection of the underground pipe network: from real time marking and digitalization of detected anomalies to quick on-site reporting.


Safety and high productivity


As urban spaces grow more congested, advanced underground detection systems have become essential to avoid costly setbacks during excavation, and keep working timelines on track. With Opera XR, users benefit of reduced time and costs for a safe data collection - surveys are successfully managed by one operator - removing potential downtimes and limitations in surveying.
