Sokkia introduces the latest addition to its iM line of manual total stations designed to provide powerful performance in an affordable package — the iM-50. “Whether operators need an instrument for jobs such as site layout or perhaps as-built survey, the iM-50 offers the perfect solution with high-end performance and exceptional functionality,” said Ray Kerwin, director of global surveying products. The iM-50 EDM features a prism range of up to 4,000 m and up to 500 m in reflectorless mode with a 1.5 mm/2 ppm accuracy. “The beam can precisely measure walls, corners, manholes on the road surface, even chain-link fences and tree branches. It offers a rapid distance measurement of 0.9 seconds regardless of the target,” he
Topcon Positioning Group announces an addition to its GM line of manual total stations designed to provide fast and accurate measurements in a cost-efficient package — the GM-50. “In a compact and sleek design, the GM-50 offers high-end performance and exceptional functionality for jobs such as site layout or as-built survey,” said Ray Kerwin, director of global surveying products. The beam is designed to offer a rapid distance measurement of 0.9 seconds regardless of the target. “The GM-50 EDM features a prism range of up to 4,000 m and up to 500 m in reflectorless mode with an incredible 1.5 mm/2 ppm accuracy for accurate measurements in most any entry-level survey or layout application,” said Kerwin.

Aptella is investing in the expertise, infrastructure and research to future proof the AllDayRTK national Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) network solution. Aptella has teamed up with Ricoh, a leader in hyperconverged infrastructure solutions, to design and implement a new processing platform to improve the AllDayRTK national CORS network. The main aim of this collaboration is to minimise the latency, or time of processing, when computing very large amounts of CORS data. Hyperconverged architecture is hardware that can combine the processing resources of CPU/RAM with the storage device into a single hardware unit. The platform reduces the amount of data flow between different hardware elements (such as servers and storage devices) because all these devices are physically on
