How to plan a wire free lawn mower installation in my garden

Husqvarna's intelligent satellite-based technology EPOS® (Exact Positioning Operating System) enables you to create virtual boundaries for your mower via the Automower® Connect app. Designed to deliver high precision accuracy in seconds, the satellite signals require an open sky view to ensure optimal technical conditions. That means buildings or trees in or around the lawn can block the satellite signals. Our camera-equipped models use AI vision technology to support in areas where satellite signals are weak, so that the mower will continue to mow your full lawn. Please see the information below to ensure you choose the best mower for you and your garden.

Connectivity
To achieve excellent position accuracy, typically better than 5 cm, the mower has to receive correction data, which is provided via Husqvarna Cloud at no extra cost. This requires Wi-Fi or cellular coverage over the entire lawn area.

Some models are equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity and some with both cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity. If you do not have Wi-Fi coverage across your full lawn area, consider purchasing one of the below:
 
  • A robotic mower enabled with cellular connectivity.
  • The Automower® Connect kit which enables cellular connectivity on a Wi-Fi connected Automower®. This accessory must be installed by a Husqvarna dealer.
  • The Husqvarna EPOS® RS1 reference station, this accessory also provides an even higher mower position accuracy (around 2-3 cm). For Automower® Aspire R6V, Automower® 308V and Automower® 312V, this accessory must be installed by a Husqvarna dealer.
  • Your network provider may offer additional accessories or services to improve your home network coverage.
The Automower® Connect app is required to create a virtual installation. This can be downloaded for free on the AppStore and Google Play. You can find out which smartphone operating system versions the Automower® Connect app currently supports here.
