Surveying has always relied on precision. From land boundaries to infrastructure development, accuracy determines the quality of every project. Today, one technology is transforming how surveyors and businesses achieve this precision: CORS (Continuously Operating Reference Stations).
Unlike the traditional base and rover setup, which requires bulky equipment, CORS delivers instant, reliable GNSS corrections directly through the internet. This makes surveying faster, easier, and more cost-effective than ever before.
The Benefits of CORS in Surveying
- Unmatched Accuracy
CORS provides centimeter-level positioning accuracy, ensuring survey data is reliable and error-free. This is especially crucial in large-scale projects where even minor errors can lead to costly mistakes. - Time and Cost Savings
Surveyors no longer need to spend 30–60 minutes setting up base stations for every job. With CORS, you simply connect your rover to the network and start working immediately, reducing downtime and equipment costs. - Wider Coverage
While traditional base and rover systems are limited to a 10–20 km radius, CORS offers far-reaching coverage across states and even nationwide. This makes it ideal for surveyors who work on multiple sites. Otic CORS covers up to a 170km radius. - Reliability in Tough Environments
Dense vegetation, urban settings, or remote areas no longer compromise accuracy. CORS delivers consistent corrections regardless of the terrain. - Scalability for Different Industries
From single surveyors to large organizations, CORS is flexible and scalable. Whether you’re handling boundary demarcations, road construction, or agricultural mapping, CORS adapts to your needs.
Who Can Benefit from CORS?
CORS isn’t just for land surveyors. It supports a wide range of industries and businesses:
• Surveying Firms – Achieve faster and more precise boundary, layout, and topographic surveys.
• Construction Companies – Ensure accuracy in roads, bridges, estates, and large infrastructure projects.
• Real Estate Developers – Get reliable land measurements before investing in properties.
• Government Agencies – Manage nationwide geospatial projects with consistent accuracy.
• Agriculture – Enable precision farming with GNSS-guided equipment.
• Engineering & GIS Companies – Enhance mapping, monitoring, and structural alignment.
