Real-Time Network & Infrastructure Imagine a time where you could produce survey-quality 3-D positions in real-time without the infrastructure costs, technical headaches and management responsibility associated with a network that could make all this possible... With the LSU C4G GULFNet Real-Time Network (RTN), that time is now! The cutting edge technology utilized by the GULFNet RTN has the potential to benefit every surveyor, GIS provider, contractor and other precision minded GPS user within the state of Louisiana.
Cable-free opperation Check out these C4G GULFNet breakthroughs:
Operational 24 hours each day, seven days a week. LSU C4G Geodetic Consortium Members simply dial into the system to generate precise positions quickly and reliably. Gone are the days of researching data records and monuments in order to accomplish static or RTK-GPS surveys. Members just login and go to work! 100% Cable-free operation possible!Utilizing Bluetooth® wireless communication between the receiver and controller creates absolutely cable-free rover operation! External radios, cables and extra tripods are not needed. Set-up and operation are incredibly simple. Eliminates the requirement to own and operate a base station receiver. The whole network is now your base. If a base unit is already available to the user, it may be possible to convert it to a rover receiver, which could double the amount of data collected each day. The risk of theft and labor costs associated with the operation of the reference base station is eliminated. Clear communications via a cell phone. Eliminate radio headaches! Clear communications between the network and rovers via cell phone modems eliminates problems associated with radio broadcast. Control Point RTK Totally Eliminate problems due to error in the reported position of monuments. With GULFNet, all surveys can be on the same coordinate system, horizontally and vertically. Refer to our section on data reliability. Increase GPS field production. As a Consortium Member of GULFNet, RTN RTK users should expect at least one survey party hour, per day savings when compared to traditional RTK methods. Those who have not used real-time network RTK before should be amazed with this system. Our Members just login and go to work! Production increases of 50%+ possible! Dramatic efficiency improvements when compared to total station surveys. The GULFNet RTN eliminates the need to establish supplemental traverses for construction staking and topographic surveys.
