As part of industry-wide cellular upgrades to the Bell/Rogers networks, the existing GPS handheld controllers have become obsolete and will no longer function under the new 4 G networks by end of 2025. A new GPS Data Collector is required to continue working with the two GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) rover units that the Engineering Department already employs. Despite the requirement for the upgrade due to network limitations, the new GPS Data Collectors would provide significant functional improvements to their predecessors including a larger 7-inch touch display, improved ergonomics, and runs on Windows 10 Pro, enhancing usability and productivity compared to the TSC 3's smaller screen and outdated operating system. This unit will also come with an added Bluetooth radio attachment to make it compatible with the Town's existing Robotic Total Station
