Eos Positioning Systems announces compatibility of Eos Locate™ for ArcGIS with Subsite® Electronics Products

The expansion makes the Eos Locate™ for ArcGIS, an underground asset-mapping solution, compatible with Bluetooth-enabled Subsite UtiliGuard® and UtiliGuard 2 model utility locators, and introduces the ability to use Eos Locate for horizontal directional drilling with the Subsite TK® Recon HDD guidance system

SEPTEMBER 2020, MONTREAL, CANADA —  Eos Positioning Systems (Eos), the Canadian manufacturer of the popular high-accuracy  Arrow Series® GNSS receivers, has announced today the compatibility of its Eos Locate™ for ArcGIS underground-mapping solution with three  Subsite Electronics products.

“We are extremely excited to expand this popular underground-mapping solution to Subsite Electronics customers,” Eos Chief Technology Officer Jean-Yves Lauture said. “Utilities have been asking us to add compatibility, and we are pleased to announce that this integration is now available today, for no extra cost, to our existing customers.”

First introduced in 2019, Eos Locate™ is the world’s first real-time, survey-grade solution for mapping underground utilities with ArcGIS field apps. The solution requires an Arrow GNSS receiver, Esri licensing, an iOS device, and a compatible locator. This expansion adds compatibility for two new utility locator models and one HDD guidance system: the  UtiliGuard (with Bluetooth option enabled),  UtiliGuard 2, and  TK Recon.

“At Subsite, we are constantly listening to customer needs and providing solutions accordingly,” Subsite Electronics Senior Product Manager Christopher Thompson said. “We have a lot of customers who perform this type of work, and by partnering with Eos, we are able to provide a solution today to continue providing our customers with the tools and technology for total underground awareness.”

Thanks to the TK Recon integration, it is now possible for the first time ever to map horizontal directional drilling operations in real-time with Eos Locate™, for both performing as-built reports and monitoring.

To use Eos Locate™ with Subsite devices, customers must download  Eos Tools Pro (version 1.89 and higher) from the App Store for free. Eos Locate™ is compatible with both Esri ArcGIS Collector and ArcGIS Field Maps. Follow this  to get started.
