It allows us to keep records on who is accessing our service. The username and password issue is company specific and should be saved for future reference. The registration information is kept private and is only stored as a point of contact. Shadforths reserve the right to deny registration if invalid information is submitted.

At this stage we are happy to provide this service to all subcontractors working on Shadforths job sites at no cost. However, Subcontractors are responsible for the provision of data (SIM Card) to give their equipment internet access.

The data requirement to run the correction service itself on a machine or rover is approximately 1.5 megabytes per hour. This means a 500MB/month data service would be plenty if you are only running Shadnet, and no other services such as Tokara or TCC.

We recommend using Telstra data-only SIM cards. Although other providers such as Optus and Vodafone will work, we cannot guarantee coverage using other providers.

We have found some Topcon systems (particularly older ones) are not downloading the mount points. This is due to an outdated setting on the control box (screen), which has been fixed by a software patch issued by Position Partners. Contact them about this if you are having an issue downloading the mount point list.
