Spanish Hitechniques is a leading Irish provider of innovative surveying equipment, positioning
solutions, and GNSS technologies. Central to its portfolio is Ireland’s first privately owned
RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) Network—an advanced system of Continuously Operating
GNSS Reference Stations (CORS). From construction sites to offshore wind farms,
Hitechniques’ network delivers high-quality, real-time positional data that customers rely on
for pinpoint accuracy and operational efficiency. Strategically located along the island’s
coastline, Hitechniques’ stations ensure broad coverage up to 30km offshore, proving
indispensable for sectors involved in marine operations and coastal infrastructure.
The Challenge
Expanding a private RTK network involves more than just installing hardware. It requires a
dependable and flexible mobile internet solution capable of delivering low-latency data
streams. For Hitechniques, this meant finding a provider that could offer:
- Small SIM card batches to scale projects efficiently without large overheads.
- Multi-network access to guarantee connectivity across diverse environments and
remote coastal areas. - Low latency to ensure real-time accuracy for GNSS corrections.
- Straightforward port forwarding to enable seamless remote monitoring and
maintenance of CORS stations.
While Hitechniques tested multiple providers, few could deliver an affordable, high-
performance package meeting all these specialised requirements. The hunt intensified as
offshore projects and marine surveys increasingly demanded uninterrupted connectivity,
precise data, and the ability to manage remote stations with minimal downtime.
The Solution
Following a thorough evaluation, Hitechniques selected Weconnect as the ideal partner.
Weconnect’s bespoke approach aligned perfectly with Hitechniques exacting standards and
operational needs. Beyond all the technical advantages, Weconnect’s competitive pricing
model offered a cost-effective route for scaling network capabilities without compromising on
quality.
Weconnect’s ongoing technical support has allowed Hitechniques to optimise data analytics,
further improving the performance and stability of the entire network. This allows
Hitechniques engineers to continuously operate and monitor its CORS stations, delivering
real-time correction data with minimal downtime. Customers in construction, marine
surveying, and offshore energy can now rely on highly accurate positioning data—even in
challenging weather conditions or remote offshore locations.
