The T-18 features a 3.5G cellular modem for connectivity with Topcon MAGNET solutions for sending and receiving data to the cloud company account. The firm says that the cellular option makes it easier to communicate with field crews when projects need to be changed or if important data is required back in the office. The modem can be used for RTK correction services. Additional key features include standard Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, as well as an IP65 rating for dust and water protection in demanding job site conditions.
