New features include RED-tech   Technology  Reflectorless EDM assuring fast 0.9s distance measurement   regardless of  object, pinpoint reflectorless distance measurement from   30cm to 500m,  Coaxial EDM beam and laser pointer for fast and accurate   aiming, and  accurate measurements even on reflective surfaces. LongLink   Bluetooth®  wireless data communication provides reliable data   instantly to your  Bluetooth-equipped controller, up to 500m from the   instrument,  eliminating the frustration of hand signals and errors on   layout,  staking and other jobs. TSshield provides new opportunities to   secure  and maintain your instrument, click here for more information.   All this  plus IP66 dustproof/waterproof rating, heavy-duty metal   chassis and  handle, and 36 hours of battery life make the all new CX   the industry  standard in classic Total Stations! <a href="http://geoshack.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Sokkia_CX_Total_Station.pdf" target="_blank">Download Brochure Here</a></p>

<p>The new ES Series was designed from the ground up to deliver the very  latest technology advantages, all in a small, sleek design – you’ll  appreciate the advantages from the very first measurement.</p>
<p>Featuring a class leading EDM unit, the ES is able to measure up to  4,000m to standard prisms, and can measure in reflectorless mode up to  500m at an incredible 3mm + 2ppm accuracy.</p>
<p>Measurements are carried out faster than ever, and at 15mm (over 30m), the bright red laser dot pinpoints features with ease. <a href="http://geoshack.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Topcon_ES_Series.pdf" target="_blank">Download brochure here</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Mobile GIS Mapping System Built for Any Accuracy  Requirement</strong></p>
<p>A 72 channel dual frequency L1/L2 GPS receiver with an integrated cellular  modem, the GRS-1 is an all-encompassing solution that grows and adapts with your  project requirements. It can be used to dial up to a local reference station  network for real-time corrections. No extra cell phone hardware is required. Use  an external L1 antenna for real-time subfoot work. An external L1/L2 antenna is  available for “GIS-RTK” (&lt;5cm) work. Having a variety of accuracy  capabilities available depending on the configuration of the unit makes the  GRS-1 perfect for any GIS application including high accuracy projects such as  utility infrastructure, underground electric and gas, water/wastewater, asset  management, and land records management. There is no need to buy multiple  products for multiple accuracies. The ability to dial up to a server while in  the field allows users to upload and download GIS data directly to and from the  database saving time and allowing for more immediate, detailed information.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-7629" title="GRS1_Camera_SM" src="http://geoshack.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/GRS1_Camera_SM.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="150" />The GRS-1 integrates an internal 2 megapixel autofocus digital camera to snap  descriptive digital photographs. These photographs are automatically linked to  GIS features so that no photo file manipulation is needed after the field work  is complete. With 256MB of SDRAM and an 806MHz processor, the GRS-1 provides the  fastest handheld performance on the market. It is loaded with memory (1GB  Flash), but if needed, users can easily increase the memory for photo storage,  maps or field data files by sliding an SD Memory card into the slot on the  bottom of the GRS-1. With the GRS-1 the amount of detailed, accurate information  that can be collected and stored is incredible. When combined with the  lightweight small size of the system, the result is  unprecedented.</p>

<p>Geoclean  processing software is provided with the IP-S2 system to  convert the  output files generated during data collection into data  that can be  viewed and utilized in other software applications.  Post-processing of  GNSS data can be performed by obtaining observation  log files from a  GNSS receiver set up near the site or from a GNSS  reference station  site. Point clouds from the laser scanners can be  viewed and exported  from Geoclean for use with GIS and CAD software  programs.</p>

<p><strong>Integrated Positioning System</strong></p>
<p>Topcon’s IP-S2 HD Mobile Mapping System overcomes the challenges of  mapping linear features to a high level of accuracy. Accurate vehicle  positions are obtained using three redundant technologies: a dual  frequency GNSS receiver establishes a geospatial position; an Inertial  Measurement Unit (IMU) tracks vehicle posse; and connection to external  wheel encoders obtains odometry information. These three technologies  work together to sustain a highly accurate 3D position for the vehicle  even in locations where satellite signals can be blocked by obstructions  such as buildings, bridges, or tree lines.<img class="alignleft" src="http://www.topconpositioning.com/sites/default/files/IP-S2-HD_components.jpg" alt="IP-S2 HD components" width="350" height="250" /></p>
<p><strong>IP-S2 HD Mapper Components</strong></p>
<p>The IP-S2 HD  Mapper features a rotating LiDAR sensor with 64  internal lasers that  capture targets up to a range of 100 meters. The  sensor&#8217;s 360  horizontal field of view provides full coverage of scan  areas with a 30  vertical field of view to minimize laser shadowing. A  six-lens digital  camera system produces 360 degree spherical images at  user-defined  time or distance intervals. Five optional single-frame  cameras can be  added for focused, forward-facing views. Topcon&#8217;s High  Density HD  Mapper system produces the highest-density point cloud  available in  mobile mapping systems today.</p>
<p><strong>Software</strong></p>
<p>Spatial Collect software is supplied  with the IP-S2 systems to  control data collection operations. The  vehicle operator can clearly see  his path and on a geographic map.  Spatial Collect also provides status information about all system  components.</p>

<p><a title="GeoClean" href="http://geoshack.com/geoclean/"><strong>Geoclean</strong></a> Workstation integrates data  from the inertial measurement unit (IMU),   the GNSS receiver, and the wheel encoders of  IP-S2 systems. GPS post   processing with local base or reference station data can be performed   for high-accuracy trajectory computation.</p>
<p><strong><a title="Spatial Factory" href="http://geoshack.com/spatial-factory/">Spatial Factory</a> </strong>software   features viewing, analysis, measurement, and extraction tools that are   used with processed point cloud and image data. Spherical images  provide  instant visual recognition of features to be mapped and 3D  point clouds  provide accurate geospatial feature location.</p>
<p>The IP-S2 HD Mapper provides fast, high accuracy, high density data and  dynamic imaging for any linear mapping project. The vehicle-mounted  system collects data at normal roadway travel speeds. Safety is improved  by removing data collection personnel from vehicular travel areas.</p>
<p><strong>Applications include:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Roadway Asset Management</li>
<li> Power Transmission and Distribution</li>
<li> Telecommunications</li>
<li> Pipelines</li>
<li> Railways</li>
<li> Homeland Security</li>
<li> Disaster Management</li>
</ul>
