Traqnology North America | About Us
HPRTK is a proven leader in providing RTK Correction Services across the Midwest and beyond, via cellular based RTK network. We have been in business since 2011 working with Surveyors, Machine Control, Blade Control, Golf and Turf Industry, and many other industries. HPRTK is “brand neutral” meaning we offer corrections to every major brand of GPS equipment. We are a leader in the industry for innovations in the RTK world by introducing new products such as the industry’s first Bluetooth device to work with Apple, the first company to deliver cellular RTK corrections to John Deere in North America, and the first company to have complete network coverage across the country’s midsection.
HPRTK operates a VBN (Virtual Base Network) as our core business. The VBN is a cellular based RTK network capable of delivering a more reliable, more redundant, and a more accurate solution over a much larger geographic area compared to a single base network. We use multiple reference stations to generate a virtual base for each client. When you turn your GPS on, it will send your location to our VBN server and the server will then “virtualize” a base station which will be located. Our customized mount points for each GPS unit will offer corrections tweaked for the specific needs of your GPS receiver. Currently, your state has a complete network capable of servicing industry needs as well as vertical accuracy needed for water management.
A benefit to the VBN are that you will always have survey grade accuracy because a virtual base station will always be nearby. If a base station loses power, internet, or gets struck by lightning, HPRTK will continue to provide you service because your virtual reference station is generated by the network as a whole and not just a single base station. With HPRTK, you can move throughout the network without experiencing any line or changing network I.D’s. In the case of a brief cellular outage or poor cellular coverage area you will have the luxury of (with most brands) some form of RTK extend.
In order to achieve the greatest level of accuracy and reliability, only the highest quality equipment was chosen to build the network. HPRTK uses choke ring antennas coupled with survey grade mounts and multi-constellation (GPS, GNSS, Compass, Galileo), unmatched by much of the industry. Our servers are housed in an ultra-secure underground data center featuring full climate control, redundant biometric security, multiple internet feeds, and redundant power. Several layers of security are implemented across all servers with backup systems running in real time to provide service in the event of a system failure of any primary servers.
HPRTK is looking to partner with equipment dealers to resell our products and services. If there are further questions or to discuss interest in becoming a dealer please contact your regional sales rep or call the main office to discuss this opportunity.
