SmartFix

Following a multi-tiered upgrade of the SmartFIX system, we are excited to offer the only GNSS Network-RTK service in the country, including coverage for the majority of the North and South Islands. The changes we have made include;

• Full upgrade of our Reference Station software
• The SmartFIX website

These changes significantly enhance SmartFIX and demonstrate Global Survey’s commitment to the network and to our growing user group. You will see enhanced coverage both from single sites and for networked regions, improved reliability and security, and greater uptime through the full integration of Glonass data streams.

No More PPM errors…Network RTK eliminates the distance-dependent errors that plague conventional internet base stations. Traditionally, every km from the base adds another 1mm to the rover position error. Network RTK gives you consistent RTK accuracy throughout the network.

No radio coverage restrictions…Traditional GNSS ties you to your base station and limits your effective range to the range of your radios, even if your gear could be operating 50km away. With SmartFIX, if you can get online and are in the network area, you can achieve cm-level accuracy.

SmartFIX is manufacturer-independent… Through Leica’s strong support of industry standards for correction messages, equipment from any GPS supplier can operate within the network.

SmartFIX will be expanding further in coming weeks, so contact us at info@smartfix.co.nz to get a KML showing the network in Google Earth, get on our mailing list and keep up to date with exactly what’s happening with the future of GNSS positioning.
