Connectivity for surveyors

Field crews, correction signals and big data files. The work is information, and clients trust you to keep theirs private and to answer when they call.

Internet, wireless and security for surveyors

Each of the three has to be right, and they are usually bought from different companies. We compare them together.

Internet

Scan and drone data sets are large to move.

Wireless

Receivers rely on cellular correction signals in the field.

Security

Survey records are legal documents that need safe storage.

The correction signal vanished at the tree line

By the Telecom Agency advisory team

A survey receiver depends on a correction feed over cellular. At the edge of coverage the fix degrades, and so does the work.

What a consultant changes

An advisor compares carriers across the firm's territory and equips crews for the areas where one network is not enough. A consultant's knowledge of who covers what is worth more than any single carrier's map.

How Telecom Agency shops the market for surveyors

The advice
An advisor compares carriers across your territory for correction signals and recommends a second network for areas where one is weak.
The price
Data plans for receivers and crews are priced across carriers. Dual-carrier options are costed so the benefit is clear.
The service
Coverage is reviewed as carriers build out, and equipment is moved to the better network.
