Topcon announces new Wi-Fi capability for imaging station

LIVERMORE, Calif., USA/ CAPELLE A/D IJSSEL, The Netherlands – March 7, 2017 – Topcon Positioning Group announces the addition of advanced connectivity options to its DS-200i direct aiming imaging station. The DS-200i, now with Wi-Fi access, provides real-time, touchscreen video and photo imaging to capture measured positions.

“The ultra-wide 5 MP on-board camera provides photo documentation in the field and can now transmit live video using either LongLink™ or high-speed WLAN as an access point, which allows the FC-5000 or Windows 10 tablets to easily connect,” said Ray Kerwin, director of global surveying products. 

“The addition of Wi-Fi connectivity offers convenience to the powerful video capabilities of the DS-200i. The system allows for non-prism measurements to be aimed and measured to remote objects — saving time without having to return to the tripod,” Kerwin said. “The live video allows a remote user to know exactly what is being measured.”

Additional standard features include Hybrid Positioning functionality, Xpointing technology for quick and reliable prism acquisition, TSshield™ telematics security and maintenance technology, and a rating of IP65 for water-resistant construction.
