Radios that won't pair
Cross-manufacturer UHF that should just connect, but won't until every setting lines up exactly.
RTK Connections started with a simple frustration shared by every crew we know: equipment that should work together, but doesn't. We exist to bridge that gap, connecting the hardware, software, and corrections that keep crews in the field.
Survey gear is sold as if every crew works inside one brand, forever. Real crews don't.
You buy the best receiver this year, the best base the next, inherit a data collector with a job, and pick up a scanner when a project pays for it. Each piece is excellent on its own. Together they're a standoff: radios that won't pair, bases that can't reach another brand's rover, and a data collector that only speaks to half of it.
When a trusted product line reaches end-of-life, it gets worse. The manufacturer's answer is an all-or-nothing upgrade inside their own ecosystem: rebuy the whole stack, or be on your own in the field. The cost lands on the people doing the work, every single day.
Cross-manufacturer UHF that should just connect, but won't until every setting lines up exactly.
A base from one brand that can't reach a different-brand rover, no matter how close it sits.
When a line is discontinued, the only "upgrade" offered is full replacement.
Frequency, power, and range guesswork that burns hours which should have been survey work.
Your investment shouldn't expire because a vendor decided it should. The gear you own should keep earning, and the path forward should be a bridge, not a teardown.
So we assemble the pieces that make cross-manufacturer survey work actually work: CHC Nav hardware that talks across brands, WestLat Connect software to configure the whole stack, and HPRTK network corrections for when you're ready to go base-free. Keep your Carlson BRX7. Add only what you need. Move at your pace.
