    July 2023

    Vivax-Metrotech
    Introduces NEW OTA-Over the air updates for vLoc3-RTK


    Keep up with the latest vLoc3 software release with over-the-air (OTA) updates. With the OTA updates, vLoc3 Receivers deployed in the field will no longer require the MyLocator3 PC app to run the latest optimized features. OTA eliminates using a PC and USB cable while keeping your fleet devices up to date.

    Please note OTA update functionality require version 2.1 and above. The vLoc3 will first need version 2.0 installed via MyLocator3 and a USB. OTA Updates are automatically downloaded in the background without interrupting the user's workflow. Users can continue to collect data and operate the vLoc3 as normal.

    An overview of the OTA Update will indicate during the power-up. The vLoc3 uses the cellular network to communicate with the VMMap server, comparing the current software release to the one installed in the RTK-Pro device.

    Once an OTA Update is available, the vLoc3 will prompt the user at device power-up and ask if they want to update now or later. If you select later, the device will continue its boot-up process and work normally.

    My Image

    If the Update Now option is selected, the software Update will automatically install and complete within a few minutes.

    My Image

    Once the Update completes, the vLoc3 will require a power cycle to operate on the newest software revision with the latest features.

    My Image

    In case of an unsuccessful installation, users will be prompted to try again. If this occurs, correct the issue and power cycle the receiver, and the device will attempt the software installation again.

    The vLoc3-RTK from Vivax-Metrotech is the industries first all-in-one utility locator with built-in RTK GNSS GPS system providing centimeter level survey-grade accuracy. Perfect for producing utility mapping.

    Now technicians can locate and GNSS mark utility pipes & cables, meters, manholes, valves, hydrants and any utility attribute on any job site. This versatility provides for complete utility mapping in real-time from the instrument. No need to bluetooth or access an external GPS receiver or use a limited phone application or any other limited solution. A vLoc3-RTK is all any technician would ever need to produce a survey grade utility map in just a few minutes after arriving to the job site.

    Older competitive locators require multiple devices, clumsy cables, external receivers, bulky brackets, and 3rd party software applications, which add additional processing steps and, of course, the extra batteries that need charging. All of which is problematic when taken into the field and onto active job sites.

    Below is a partial list of some of the built-in attributes: Gas Line, Gas Line Vent, Gas Meter, Gas Manhole, Gas Service Valve (Curb Shutoff), Gas Valve, Gas Well, Electric Meter, Electric Manhole, Power and Light Pole, Power Pole, Electric Riser/Pedestal, Water Line, Water Line Vent, Water Meter, Water Manhole, Water Service Valve, Water Gate Valve, Fire Connection, Fire Hydrant, Sprinkler Control Valve, Drain, Light Pole, Cable TV Line, Fiber Optic, Fiber Optic Manhole, Sanitary Manhole, Sanitary Line Vent, Telephone Riser/Pedestal, Telephone Line, Telephone/Light Pole, Telephone Manhole, Telephone Pole, Power and Telephone Pole….. and more.
