The HiPer CR is a GNSS receiver that is designed to be compact and lightweight, enabling centimetre-level real-time kinematic (RTK) accuracy for use across industries like surveying, construction, engineering, forestry, and mining.

The HiPer CR is part of a range of high accuracy receivers that Topcon offers, including the HiPer HR and VR.

Topcon says that the HiPer CR can provide multi-constellation tracking for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS. It can be configured in different ways, including as a network RTK rover, in base and rover setups, and integrated hybrid use with a robotic total station.

“When used as a network rover with Topnet Live — the company’s global GNSS correction service — the HiPer CR will have access to high-quality data corrections to enable increased efficiency and productivity,” said Ray Kerwin, director of global product planning at Topcon Poistioning Systems.

“Users can also select to use the receiver as part of a Hybrid Positioning system, which means they can use a robotic total station for prism measurements or can switch to GNSS measurement with the HiPer CR for obstructed areas like warehouses, trailers, or buildings. With Hybrid Positioning, users have the versatility to switch between these modes quickly and efficiently, whatever the job site circumstances demand,” he said.
