Locked ecosystems
Buy the complete stack from one approved vendor, or you're on your own in the field.
Own a Carlson BRX7? Keep using it. RTK Connections bridges your existing investment into a more flexible, cross-manufacturer ecosystem: CHC Nav receivers, WestLat Connect software, and network corrections. No rip-and-replace. No vendor lock-in.
As trusted product lines reach end-of-life, manufacturers push an all-or-nothing upgrade inside their own ecosystem. The cost lands on field crews, every day.
Buy the complete stack from one approved vendor, or you're on your own in the field.
Radios that won't pair across manufacturers. Bases that can't reach a different-brand rover.
When a product line is discontinued, there's no affordable way forward, only replacement.
UHF confusion over frequency, power, and range burns hours that should be survey work.
We assemble hardware, software, and corrections into one bridge, so your Carlson investment keeps earning while you move, at your pace, to open and flexible kit.
Anchor hardware that talks across brands, like the CHC iBase base station.
One layer to set up receivers and tie cross-manufacturer gear together.
Centimeter-accurate corrections delivered over cellular, no base to babysit.
A pocket-sized, centimeter-accurate RTK rover, ready to survey the moment you power on. 8 mm horizontal, a 16-hour battery, and a year of HPRTK corrections in the box.
The RS7 captures SLAM point clouds you can walk straight into CAD. 3Dsurvey turns raw data into linework, surfaces, and reports without the wait.
The industry isn't dropping base stations overnight, and neither should you. Move one step at a time, keeping what works at every stage.
Keep your Carlson gear exactly as-is. We sort the cross-manufacturer UHF configuration so everything finally pairs.
UHF where you have line-of-sight, automatic cellular failover where you don't. One foot in each world.
As Carlson hardware retires, shift to network corrections, no base station at all, just coverage.
