Every surveyor knows that sinking feeling—you're deep into a critical survey when your RTK connection drops. In these moments, RTX isn't just convenient—it's the difference between project success and expensive failure.

The base radio fails.

The cellular network disappears.

VRS goes offline.

Having CenterPoint RTX™ is the ultimate positioning insurance.

Scenario 1: The Cellular Dead Zone

The Setup: You're staking out a new subdivision development. The plans show you're well within cellular coverage. But arriving on-site, you discover the nearest tower is down for maintenance.

With RTX:

Seamless transition to satellite delivery
Continue working with 2-4cm accuracy
Zero downtime
Project stays on schedule

Field Tip: Always verify RTX is enabled before leaving the office—it's your insurance policy against connectivity surprises.

Scenario 2: The Multi-County Pipeline

The Setup: Your pipeline survey crosses three counties, multiple control points and two different state plane zones. Traditional radio-based RTK means constant reconfiguration and multiple base station moves.

RTX Solution:

Consistent corrections across entire corridor
No radio range concerns
No base station logistics
All crews on same correction source

Real Impact: "RTX saved us 40 hours of base station moves on our 75-mile pipeline survey. That's significant savings in labor costs alone." — Pipeline Survey Manager, Oklahoma

Scenario 3: The Storm Season Scramble

The Setup: Post-storm damage assessment. Cellular towers are down. Radio repeaters are offline. The client needs immediate survey data for insurance claims.

RTX Resilience:

Satellite delivery unaffected by ground infrastructure
Begin surveying immediately
Deliver critical data when clients need it most
Establish your firm as the reliable choice

Business Impact: Firms with RTX capability often become the go-to provider for emergency response surveys.

Scenario 4: The Remote Ranch Boundary

The Setup: You're surveying a 5,000-acre ranch property. No cellular coverage. Setting control points across rough terrain. Every base station move is a 45-minute ordeal.

RTX Advantages:

Work anywhere on the property
No base station logistics
Consistent accuracy throughout
Complete projects faster
