Mondo Pin Virtual Base Stations - GNSS Corrections Without On-Site Hardware
Redefining GNSS Accuracy and Operational Efficiency
Setting up a GNSS base station on-site is no easy task. First, you need to find a location with a constant power supply. Then, there's often the hassle of setting up and packing up the base each day. On top of that, you must calculate a site calibration, distribute the file, and recalibrate each time the base station is moved, which is far from ideal. These issues can cause significant delays on-site, which could easily be avoided by moving away from a physical base station setup.
Providing GNSS corrections for each machine on site can be expensive. Mondo Pin can significantly reduce these costs and have developed an alternative that offers the same results with much less hassle.
Virtual base station technology has been around for some time, but it's typically been used only in the backend. Mondo Pin can now provide a virtual base station specifically for your site.
This virtual base connects to the Mondo Pin network, delivering correction data as if a physical base station were on-site. Since it's virtual, it can operate 24/7 without the physical limitations of a traditional base station. The correction data is also delivered via the internet, making it more accessible than ever. Additionally, being virtual means it can be easily adjusted to different site datums, with the most common adjustment being the connection to Australian Height Datum (AHD).
Mondo Pin is proud to have provided the virtual base station for the Pakenham Level Crossing Removal project.
We collaborate closely with ThinkSpatial to determine the necessary site adjustments to AHD and apply these to the virtual base station. This ensures that everyone connecting to the base has repeatable and accurate AHD corrected positioning.
“We have been using a Mondo Pin virtual base station at Pakenham LXRP for more than 4 years. The service has always been stable and reliable. Every day, surveyors just need to turn on the rover, connect to the base, and they are ready to roll. By adjusting the height to AHD, it seamlessly adjusts the measurements to the site datum. It has helped us a lot in civil excavation, services mark up and as-builts. Mondo Pin virtual base significantly reduced the survey cost, and it even benefits for the subcontractors here.” says Rain Liu, ThinkSpatial Survey Manager.
In summary, Mondo Pin's cutting-edge virtual base station technology transforms GNSS operations by overcoming the complexities and limitations of traditional physical setups. Through our partnership with ThinkSpatial on Pakenham Level Crossing Removal project, we've proven our ability to provide precise AHD adjustments and optimize site performance.
