Rugged Modem Provides Connectivity to Topcon's Sitelink3D Network

Livermore, Calif. – July 11, 2013 – Machines equipped with a Topcon 3D machine control system can be included in Topcon’s Sitelink3D network, simply and quickly through the SL-100 modem. Sitelink3D.net is Topcon’s new web portal that provides real-time job site management, data control and system support for general construction and engineering companies.
 
The SL-100 modem supports GPRS, Edge and 3G cellular networks, providing web portal access and Internet connectivity to the Sitelink3D subscription web-based network.
 
Designed to easily connect to onboard Topcon 3D-MC systems through the MC-R3 GNSS receiver box, installation can be made to existing machine control systems or new Topcon 3D-MC systems can be ordered with the modem pre-installed.
 
Kris Maas, manager of 3D machine control product marketing, said, “The SL-100 is a compact, construction-tough communications gateway. All job data, production data, communication to and from the office, machines and surveyors – are possible with Sitelink3D and with the SL-100, we are making it simple to put it to work on Topcon 3D machine control systems anywhere in the world.”
