Livermore, Calif.-based Topcon Positioning Group has expanded its Topnet Live GNSS network of correction solutions to include a real-time kinematic (RTK) service. The company said that the expanded growth is a result of the increasing demand in the construction, surveying, machine control, and agriculture markets.
The company’s RTK offering, Realpoint, and its Starpoint precise point positioning (PPP) service have varying delivery methods, coverage, and centimeter-level accuracy, the company said. Through a flexible subscription model, the company said customers can purchase to meet their requirements. In addition, an RTK service supported by PPP, Skybridge, is available when a customer temporarily leaves RTK coverage, the company said.
The company recently partnered, through an OEM contract, with DDK Positioning to supply GNSS hardware components. DDK will use the OEM components to deliver their MAX services to Oceaneering International’s clients, who in turn, use the service in the marine energy market.
Oceaneering and DDK Positioning have agreed to provide products for the offshore maritime market through the Iridium network and with Topcon OEM GNSS products, the company said.
