CORS Network benefits

Survnet Uganda Limited offers highly accurate real-time positioning services through a network of base stations across Uganda that is accessible through the mobile phone network.

Our clients see the value of our services in the following areas:

A true network		The 14 base stations that make up the network now cover the areas of Kampala, Jinja, Luwero, Mbale, Soroti, Masaka, Mubende, Hoima, Gomba, Kamwengye, Nakasongola, Lyantonde, Rukungiri and Mbarara. Further expansion of the network to the north and east will be supported based on user driven requirements.
Continuous operation		The system is available 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Users simply connect into the system to receive reliable and accurate positioning information. (Dependent on Telstra or other communication service and satellite availability)
Get started in an instant		Subscribe to the network and be online within minutes
Precise positioning		The network can provide better than ±2cm accuracy for X, Y coordinates and better than ±4cm vertically. This ensures optimum results for positioning work with virtually no margin of error and with repeat, centimetre accuracy.
Save capital/ expenses		No high insurance cost for unattended GNSS base station. Low cost subscription . No longer require localised base station. Ability to separate existing base/rover configurations into 2 rovers.
Supports the toughest conditions		Positioning in undulating terrain is often a challenge. The Survnet network will always offer better signals and greater precision than a single ground base station.
One man team		Positioning work carried out without the need for additional personnel.
Save Time		No lost time setting up base stations over known control points or SSMs (Standard Survey Marks).
Greater security		No base station is required, therefore no need to worry about finding a secure site – thereby enhancing security. No reliance on additional equipment e.g. cables.
Benefit from our expertise and personal support		Survnet works with its clients to use, better understand, and achieve the best results from this technology. Being experts in the field of satellite based positioning systems, our ability to help goes well beyond the provision of the network.
Significant productivity and efficiency benefits		Together, these combined benefits help you to realise great savings in time, effort, and eliminate any rework.

The success of Survnet is based on providing a personalised, efficient service to each client, and dedication to the effective introduction of the technological advances that have completely changed Real Time Kinematic GNSS applications. The constant monitoring of the network, expansion of the network as demand dictates, and ongoing improvements of hardware are aspects of Survnet’s commitment and aspirations in providing a sound network. The success is further measured by level of interest attained in this technology and ability to delivery GNSS solutions well into the next decade.
