Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Sokkia NET05AX accuracy?
0.5 arc seconds — the highest angular accuracy in Sokkia's construction lineup. Used for bridge monitoring, tall building deformation, tunnel alignment, and control network work where 1-arc-second instruments aren't adequate.
What is the difference between Sokkia CX-101 and NET05AX?
CX-101: 1 arc second, construction-grade robotic. NET05AX: 0.5 arc second, precision survey/monitoring grade. For most construction layout, CX-101 is more than adequate. NET05AX is for monitoring and precision control work.
What is the working range of the Sokkia NET05AX?
5,000m prism range — sufficient for virtually all construction and monitoring applications, including long-span bridge monitoring.
