Topcon Announces Significant Expansion of Topnet Live Coverage Across Western USA and Hawaii

LIVERMORE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — October 28, 2024Topcon Positioning Systems has announced a major addition to its reference station service, Topnet Live. New service areas are available through expansion within California, Hawaii, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, and Washington, with 180 full-wave geodetic reference stations added to the network. Simplifying the workflows for many different devices in many different industries, network corrections offer centimeter accuracy for high-end engineering, surveying, construction and agriculture measurement and guidance systems. This service is also utilized in many other markets, such as the turf industry, for automated mowing and input applications, line marking and imaging, as well as UAV operation for mapping and delivery.

“The addition of these new stations offers expanded RTK corrections services to customers in many large metropolitan areas across several states and increases the total coverage of Topnet Live in the Americas by over 72,900 square miles,” said Jason Killpack, the director of business development for Topcon Emerging Business. “The addition of all of these new stations increases the density and offers users in these areas full network modeled solutions for any number of applications.”

One of the key benefits for customers is the ease of access to globally supported NTRIP network corrections. NTRIP, or Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol, is a protocol that streams Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) corrections data over the internet for real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning. Additional expanded services include Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) coverage for mapping, as well as an increased number of sources for Receiver Independent Exchange (RINEX) static files for static or static kinematic post-processing.

“The decision to add the new geodetic stations into our Americas network was an easy one,” said Killpack. “We have added new coverage areas for our customers as well as the in-fill needed to further our total coverage and operational areas. Topnet Live continues to grow in size and global coverage, with the most international reach across the world markets than any provider. We will continue to expand to offer our customers and partners the best possible service in the world with the best possible outcomes.”

About correction services

In order to provide precise positioning accuracy, a GNSS receiver needs to compensate for inaccuracies caused by satellite constellations, receiver hardware and atmospheric conditions. These inaccuracies can be calculated by a network of fixed reference stations that constantly receive GNSS data. This correction information is then broadcast to GNSS receivers as a service.

About Topnet Live

Topnet Live is a global NTRIP correction and GNSS data provider. Topnet Live serves the GNSS corrections and data markets in Asia Pacific, the Americas and Europe.
