Bring Survey-Grade Precision to Your GIS Workflows

DCG specializes in integrating survey-grade GNSS technology into Esri field workflows. With extensive experience supporting ArcGIS Field Maps, Survey123, QuickCapture, and ArcGIS Online, we understand the technical and operational challenges of collecting authoritative spatial data. Through our partnership with Tersus GNSS and Esri, we provide precision-driven solutions that elevate everyday GIS data collection into a high-accuracy, enterprise-ready workflow.

Tersus GNSS Smart Receivers all provide the highest level of accuracy, built around Tersus’ Extreme RTK Engine, they keep delivering precise RTK fixes in heavy canopy, urban interference, and remote terrain, where conventional GNSS receivers are pushed to their limits.

Focus on data collection, whether your pole is level. For those hard to reach assets or when safety matters.

Accurately capture elevations as height above the ellipsoid (HAE) or as mean sea-level (orthometric) heights, providing real-world 3D coordinates with confidence.

NTRIP (Real-time network corrections, RNT, VRS) is fully supported with all Tersus GNSS smart receivers. However, if you are working in remote environments where cellular data is not available, Tersus GNSS receivers support your needs for real-time corrections even in remote areas.

  • NTRIP (RTCM, CMR, CMR+)
    Connect to existing correction networks over the internet for real-time, survey-grade positioning.
  • UHF Radio
    With two Tersus smart receivers, setting up a base station and broadcasting corrections to a rover is fast, intuitive, and works even in remote environments.
  • Tersus Advanced Positioning (TAP)
    Access global real-time corrections through Tersus’ Precise Point Positioning (PPP) network, delivering 1–3 cm accuracy anywhere. This subscription service simplifies field operations and reduces reliance on local GNSS infrastructure by providing corrections via an L‑band satellite link.

Safely capture hard-to-reach assets using Laser Tech rangefinders. When paired with Tersus receivers, these measurements integrate directly into Esri field apps, enabling precise offset positioning and expanding what’s possible in challenging collection environments.

The strength of Tersus smart receivers is their flexibility! They work seamlessly with Esri Field Apps for everyday GIS tasks, but they also include Tersus’s Nuwa software for advanced workflows like logging static data for drone PPK flights (RINEX), cut-and-fill earthwork calculations, advanced COGO functions, grid-to-ground transformations, GNSS calibrations for local coordinate systems, and much more.

This is a full easy to use survey software in the palm of your hands to augment any measurement challenges you run into in the field. Tersus puts the power and precision in your hands, finally, a GNSS system that doesn’t hold you back!

Who Benefits?

Well, if you’ve made it this far, it’s clear you demand higher-accuracy with ArcGIS Field Apps. Desert Creative Group’s team has been at the forefront of GNSS and geospatial technology since the mid-1990s, helping organizations capture, process, and integrate field data long before these tools were standard. Our team brings decades of hands-on experience, deep technical expertise, and a proven track record of solving real-world positioning challenges, making us the partner GIS professionals trust to turn complex field data into actionable insights.

We’ve partnered with every industry you can imagine, and some you probably haven’t, helping organizations solve both simple and complex high-accuracy GIS challenges with confidence and precision. We’re happy to lend our expertise to you!
