Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)
GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) are advanced technologies used for plotting, measuring, and mapping with exceptional precision. These systems leverage satellite signals to provide real-time, centimetre or sub-centimetre accuracy, making them indispensable for applications such as land surveying, construction, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. GNSS devices enable professionals to efficiently collect geospatial data, create detailed maps, and ensure precise measurements—even in dynamic or challenging environments. With their ability to deliver reliable and accurate results, GNSS systems have become a cornerstone of modern geospatial solutions, enhancing productivity and decision-making across industries.
