FAQs

Hemisphere specializes in precision GNSS receivers, smart antennas, and heading systems designed for surveying, marine navigation, construction, and machine control. Their equipment is recognized for reliable multi-constellation tracking, strong correction services, and dependable performance in demanding field environments.

Accuracy depends on the correction method used. Stand-alone GNSS positioning typically delivers meter-level accuracy, while SBAS or L-band correction services improve precision to sub-meter or decimeter levels. RTK-enabled Hemisphere receivers can achieve centimeter-level positioning suitable for professional surveying and construction layout.

Atlas is Hemisphere’s satellite-delivered correction service that provides decimeter-level accuracy without requiring a local RTK base station or cellular connection. It is especially valuable in remote regions, marine environments, and wide-area mapping projects where traditional RTK connectivity is limited.

A GNSS receiver typically connects to an external antenna and field controller, offering flexible configuration for survey workflows. A smart antenna integrates the receiver, antenna, and communications into a single compact unit, simplifying setup for mapping, marine, and RTK survey applications.

Yes. Hemisphere equipment is widely used across marine navigation, hydrographic surveying, agriculture guidance, construction positioning, and traditional land surveying. Product selection depends on required accuracy, heading capability, and correction method.

Many Hemisphere GNSS systems support RTK base-and-rover workflows as well as network RTK correction services delivered via cellular or radio connection. This flexibility allows surveyors to maintain centimeter-level accuracy across a wide range of job site conditions.

Heading receivers use dual-antenna positioning to determine true direction without movement. They are commonly used in marine navigation, machine control, and applications where precise orientation is required even at low speeds or when stationary.

Selection depends on accuracy requirements, environment, correction availability, and workflow integration. RTK receivers are ideal for high-precision surveying, while L-band or SBAS solutions are better suited for wide-area mapping or remote operations. Matching the receiver, antenna type, and correction method ensures reliable field performance.

Yes. Proper setup of corrections, communications, and field software is essential for achieving expected accuracy. Assistance with configuration, integration, and deployment helps ensure the system performs reliably in real survey and marine environments.

What makes Hemisphere GNSS systems the best in Canada

We have what you need

Hemisphere RTK GPS and GNSS receivers in Canada have a variety of performance advantages over consumer-grade GPS receivers. Consumer-grade GPS receivers are used in non-precision applications such as basic navigation, asset tracking, fleet management, mobile phones, and other applications that require less accuracy. Hemisphere GPS GNSS receivers, on the other hand, are used in precision applications that require reliable positioning in the most demanding applications. For more than 20 years, Hemisphere has manufactured professional-level GPS receivers for a variety of industries including surveying, precision agriculture, marine navigation, machine control, and aerial guidance. At Bench Mark, we carry the best-selling products like the Hemisphere S321 as well as several other Hemisphere RTK systems.
