Surveying rarely happens in wide-open fields with perfect sky view. It happens under dense canopy, along wooded property lines, beside buildings, in corridors, and in places where satellite signals are constantly challenged. For crews across North Carolina and the Southeast, that reality is daily work.

That is exactly the environment the Carlson VIKING GNSS Receiver was built for, and right now, it is easier than ever to put one in your hands.

Finance the Carlson VIKING

• No interest

• No waiting

• No capital tied up

• Subject to approval

You can upgrade to industry-leading canopy performance today and spread the cost over two years, interest free.

VIKING is Carlson Software’s newest industry-changing receiver. It builds on the canopy-proven performance of the BRx7 and introduces a first-of-its-kind Triple Fix solution powered by three RTK engines. In real terms, that means faster fixes, fewer drops, and dramatically higher confidence in tough conditions.

If you have ever watched your solution “float” under trees or near structures, you already know how much time and frustration that costs. VIKING’s multi-constellation, multi-frequency tracking across 632 channels, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, and L-Band corrections, keeps you locked in where other receivers hesitate.

Why Triple Fix Matters

Traditional receivers rely on a single RTK engine. VIKING uses three, constantly validating position data. That redundancy delivers:

• Faster initial fixes

• Greater stability under canopy

• Fewer interruptions during collection

• More confidence in every shot

In dense woods, mixed terrain, or urban corridors, the difference is immediate.

Precision Without the Perfect Pole

VIKING’s advanced tilt compensation keeps you accurate even when you cannot level your pole:

• 0.7 cm at 20 degrees

• 0.9 cm at 30 degrees

• 1.2 cm at 45 degrees

• 1.5 cm at 60 degrees

That is real-world efficiency. Less repositioning, fewer retries, and smoother workflows in tight spaces.

Built for Field Abuse

Survey equipment does not live in a lab. VIKING is engineered for jobsite reality:

• IP67 dust and water resistance

• Powder-coated aluminum housing

• Drop-tested on a 2 meter pole onto concrete

• MIL-STD vibration and shock rated

• Operating range from -40°F to 149°F

Dual hot-swappable batteries provide up to 10 hours of runtime, and the built-in Web UI lets you configure and troubleshoot right in the field, no laptop required.

Why North Carolina Crews Are Taking Notice

At Allenbuild Instruments in Wake Forest, we work with surveyors who face heavy canopy, rolling terrain, and mixed-use sites every day. The VIKING is purpose-built for exactly those conditions.

We do not just ship hardware. We configure it, support it, and stand behind it. Our team makes sure your receiver is dialed in and working the way it should from day one.

And with financing available, there is no reason to wait.
