FAQs

Hemisphere GNSS develops high-precision positioning technology including RTK GNSS receivers, smart antennas, GNSS compasses, and precision antennas. These systems are widely used in land surveying, marine navigation, GIS mapping, construction layout, and other applications that require accurate positioning.

Accuracy depends on the correction method used. Standard GNSS positioning typically provides meter-level accuracy, while correction services such as WAAS can improve accuracy to about 30–50 cm. When using RTK corrections or post-processing, Hemisphere GNSS receivers can achieve centimeter-level accuracy suitable for surveying and engineering applications.

Atlas is Hemisphere’s global L-band GNSS correction service that delivers high-accuracy positioning without requiring a local RTK base station. It is commonly used in marine navigation, agriculture, and mapping applications where reliable real-time corrections are needed over large areas.

One of the most popular receivers for surveying applications is the Hemisphere S631 RTK. This receiver supports multi-constellation GNSS tracking and RTK corrections to deliver reliable centimeter-level positioning, even in challenging environments such as tree canopy or obstructed areas.

Hemisphere produces a wide range of positioning solutions including RTK GNSS receivers, smart antennas, GNSS compasses, heading sensors, and precision GNSS antennas designed for surveying, marine, industrial, and navigation applications.

Hemisphere GNSS systems are used across many industries, including land surveying, construction, marine navigation, agriculture, GIS mapping, and machine control, where reliable positioning and navigation data are required.
