Topnet Live is Topcon's proprietary GNSS correction service, delivering satellite and cellular-based positioning accuracy from 15cm down to sub-2cm RTK precision. This correction infrastructure eliminates the need for farmers to purchase, maintain, and operate their own base stations, making centimeter-level guidance accessible to operations of all sizes. With coverage options spanning global, regional, and local delivery, Topnet Live adapts to your farm's geographic scope and precision requirements.
The service portfolio offers tiered accuracy levels matching specific farm applications. Starpoint delivers 15cm accuracy suitable for many field operations and compatible with entry-level variable rate systems. Starpoint Pro upgrades to 2.5cm precision, enabling more refined variable rate guidance and reduced input overlap at field boundaries. Realpoint reaches 2cm accuracy for critical applications like center pivot management and vineyard row guidance. Local RTK achieves 1cm precision for operations requiring maximum accuracy, including GPS-based steering on controlled traffic patterns and sub-inch variable rate nozzle control on ultra-precise sprayers.
Topnet Live's architecture seamlessly integrates Starpoint and Skybridge RTK infill coverage, ensuring continuous access to correction signals across your entire operating region. Whether in remote areas with limited cellular coverage or managing fields across multiple counties, the service automatically routes corrections through optimal signal paths. This redundancy and reliability ensure consistent guidance accuracy throughout application seasons, protecting your variable rate investments and field data integrity.
For precision farming operations, accurate GNSS positioning is the foundation of all guidance and variable rate control. Consistent centimeter-level accuracy ensures variable rate maps execute precisely across field boundaries and between passes, eliminating costly overlaps and under-application zones. Detailed position logging enables carbon credit mapping with confidence, documenting application events with verifiable GPS coordinates and timestamps. By eliminating base station ownership, Topnet Live reduces capital outlay and simplifies system management, letting you focus on precision farming strategy rather than infrastructure maintenance.
