Emlid and ProStar partnered to deliver centimeter accuracy for critical infrastructure mapping worldwide 

Emlid has partnered with ProStar Holdings Inc., a developer of the PointMan® Precision Mapping Solutions®, to provide an integrated solution for centimeter (sub-inch) precise and cost-efficient mapping of underground utilities and other critical infrastructure.

The strategic partnership is designed to offer ProStar’s PointMan platform, powered by Point One RTK correction services with Emlid’s survey-grade GNSS receivers.

PointMan and Reach compatibility for precise utility management

ProStar is a leading software company specializing in patented cloud and mobile mapping solutions for the critical infrastructure industry. Its flagship product, PointMan, streamlines the management of above- and below-ground assets like utilities and pipelines. With Point One RTK corrections, it provides a simple and easy-to-use mobile mapping solution that utilizes over 2,000 base stations communicating with the four major satellite constellations. 

By combining PointMan’s cloud and mobile mapping solution with Emlid Reach receivers, end-users worldwide can now realize an affordable centimeter-accurate mapping solution.

Emlid’s Reach RX and Reach RS3 receivers seamlessly integrate with the PoinMan software to accelerate utility mapping workflows. The Reach RX is a pocket-sized RTK rover for ultra-fast setup with no settings to mess up. It’s ideal for scalable projects with multiple non-surveyor teams.

The Reach RS3 can be used as a base or a rover, and its tilt compensation feature provides centimeter-level geo-positioning even when the pole is tilted. It’s perfect for mapping trenches, utilities, or other infrastructure in challenging conditions.

“We’re thrilled about this partnership,” said Dmitriy Ershov, Manager of Business Development at Emlid. “PointMan mobile mapping software is well-recognized for its versatility and ease of use, and it is exciting to see PointMan continue to evolve, especially with the inclusion of Point One RTK. We are delivering survey-grade accuracy to professionals worldwide in a simple, all-in-one solution.”

Page Tucker, CEO & Founder of ProStar, added: “We are strategically aligning with several leading equipment manufacturers to establish a global distribution network. Emlid’s GNSS receivers, combined with PointMan powered by Point One, create a comprehensive and affordable precision mapping solution with unmatched accuracy, coverage, and performance that empowers Emlid’s customers worldwide.”
