Ground-penetrating radar is an electromagnetic technique that provides high-resolution 2D and 3D subsurface images. In this guide, we dive into how it works and why RTK corrections can significantly improve the accuracy of GPR. What is Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)? Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a geophysical method that emits radar pulses into the ground to measure the reflected […]

Tom joins the company at a critical time, bringing his experience with six previous startups to bear as we look toward a season of aggressive growth and expansion ahead. As he takes the operations helm this summer, we wanted to share more about his background, what drew him to Point One, and what he sees for the company over the next 24 months.

Accurate underground pipe location is critical for engineers and construction teams to avoid damaging existing infrastructure, minimize the risk of costly repairs or accidents, and ensure the safety of both the workers and the public during excavation and building projects. Pipes carrying wastewater, gas, and oil are usually buried underground for safety and aesthetic reasons–but […]

The International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) is a reference frame for earth sciences and global positioning derived from the International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS). The ITRF is approved by the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) to serve as a stable reference to measure Earth's deformation and crustal motion. The IAG also recommends ITRF as the […]

In the utility industry, accurately locating and mapping underground utilities is crucial to prevent costly damages and ensure safety. With critical infrastructure like water, electric, gas, and oil pipelines hidden underground, any accidental damage can lead to catastrophic outcomes. The need for precision locating tools that can efficiently detect and map underground assets with survey-grade […]

How Point One cut Calian’s time to market for its new smart antenna by two-thirds with Polaris’ industry-leading RTK network and ease of integration.

Over the past few months, we’ve talked to many of you in the survey market – from those in survey robotics and precision mapping to those who are product creators. Universally you’ve told us – Polaris is the easiest RTK network to use, the most accurate, the simplest to integrate with, and the only one with […]

For tomorrow's businesses that depend on precise location, traditional GNSS falls short.
That's where Point One's Polaris RTK Network comes in.

In the tutorial video above, we’re going to show you how to use a Trimble R12. We’ll be doing that with Point One’s Polaris correction service using Trimble access on a TSE five controller. We’ll start by opening up Trimble access.  The first thing we need to do is configure the receiver to use the […]
