How to Configure an Emlid Receiver as a Network Rover

In this video, we walk through the complete setup process for configuring an Emlid receiver as a network rover using NTRIP corrections for centimeter-level positioning.

Topics covered include:
• Configuring correction inputs in Emlid Flow
• Connecting to NTRIP networks and RTK Premium
• Recommended firmware versions for Reach receivers
• Receiver naming and workflow organization
• Setting the rover pole height correctly for accurate measurements
• Preparing your rover setup for field operations

Whether you're deploying a new RTK setup or refining your current workflow, proper rover configuration is essential for reliable field performance and accurate survey data.

The most valuable technologies don’t stay in one department.

According to XGRIDS, engineering firms are already applying 3DGS workflows far beyond visualization.

Current and future use cases include:

• Construction verification
• Asset management
• Digital twins
• Remote design collaboration
• Public engagement
• Permanent documentation before redevelopment

And adoption doesn’t need to be complex.

Their recommendation:

• Start with a pilot segment
• Test lighting conditions
• Process data overnight
• Train multiple operators

Fast capture and low processing effort mean this workflow can make sense even for smaller projects.

XGRIDS Lixel K2 RTK Workflow: From Field Capture to Point Cloud Export

In this video, we walk through a complete RTK workflow with the XGRIDS Lixel K2, including:
• Connecting the K2 and configuring NTRIP corrections
• Static initialization and real-time colorized point cloud capture
• Monitoring RTK status, satellite count, and scan quality in real time
• Marking GCPs during scanning
• Switching between camera views and visualization modes
• Transferring scan data to your workstation
• Processing and cleaning point clouds in LixelStudio 4
• Exporting finalized LAS files for downstream workflows

The Lixel K2 combines lightweight portability with integrated RTK and real-time spatial data capture, helping teams move from field collection to deliverables faster and with fewer workflow bottlenecks.

Reality capture delivers more value when aerial and ground data work together.

With Aerial-Ground Map Fusion, XGRIDS PortalCam and RTK drone imagery can be combined into a single coordinated model, helping teams capture broad site coverage while preserving the detail that matters at ground level.

For surveyors, engineers, and geospatial professionals, that means more complete deliverables, better site context, and fewer costly gaps in the final model.

Many teams still rely on 360 cameras for site documentation, progress photos, and existing condition records.

They’re helpful for quick visuals, but when projects require more than images, the limitations become clear.

• No true spatial context
• Limited measurement value
• Harder collaboration across teams
• Less useful data for planning or review

That’s where XGRIDS PortalCam offers a smarter workflow.

With fast handheld capture, teams can move beyond photos and document spaces in a way that supports better communication, remote verification, and stronger project records.

For construction, engineering, facilities, and renovation teams, better documentation can lead to better decisions.
