Q & A

What is the name of the new feature introduced by Hemisphere GNSS for the survey market?

The new feature is called Atlas ARTK.

What does ARTK stand for in the context of the new feature?

ARTK stands for Advanced Real-Time Kinematic, which is a positioning technology used in surveying and construction.

What is the purpose of the Atlas L-Band Network mentioned in the script?

The Atlas L-Band Network provides global differential corrections to users of Hemisphere GNSS products, enhancing the precision of their positioning services.

How does the Atlas ARTK feature work in conjunction with the Athena RTK engine?

The Atlas ARTK feature combines high-precision Atlas L-Band data with the Athena RTK engine to augment RTK corrections, ensuring continuous high-precision positioning.

What is the main advantage of the Atlas ARTK feature for survey RTK users?

The main advantage is that it allows for seamless transition to real-time streaming correction data from the Atlas L-Band Network if the user loses connection to their base station.

Can you provide an example of a scenario where Atlas ARTK would be beneficial?

An example is when a surveyor loses their radio link to their base station during a construction or development project; the Atlas ARTK-enabled device will maintain high-level RTK positional accuracy using the L-Band Network.

What happens to the position accuracy when a user transitions from a base station to L-Band corrections with Atlas ARTK?

The transition is virtually seamless to the end-user, with little to no disruption or movement in the position, ensuring horizontal positional accuracy.

How does the Atlas ARTK-enabled receiver handle the return of the original RTK correction source?

The receiver seamlessly transitions back to its original reference source and continues to operate in high-precision RTK mode once the original RTK correction source returns.

What should users do for more information on the Atlas ARTK feature?

Users should log on to the Hemisphere GNSS website for additional details on the Atlas ARTK feature.

Who is the speaker in the transcript, and what is their position at Hemisphere GNSS?

The speaker is Miles Wear, the Technical Support Manager at Hemisphere GNSS.

What is the primary goal of the Atlas ARTK feature in the context of surveying and construction projects?

The primary goal is to ensure uninterrupted high-precision positioning for surveyors, even in the event of a loss of connection to their base station.
