Leica Geosystems announced that their new Leica Zeno GIS series enters the U.S. GIS data collection market with rugged products. Leica Zeno GIS is part of the Leica Viva family of products.
According to the announcement, Leica Geosystems' survey technology is now extended into the GIS market. With the new product introduction of the Leica Zeno GIS series, users can manage and maintain assets, inspect infrastructure, respond to emergencies, ensure public safety, explore natural resources and conduct as-built and incident mapping with ease. The Leica Zeno 10 provides a color graphic display in portrait format and a numeric keypad. Alternatively, users have the choice to select a full functioned model - the Leica Zeno 15 with a full QWERTY keyboard and a display in landscape format.
The announcement stated that dual-constellation tracking guarantees higher productivity with more satellites available - in particular in urban canyons and in areas where tree canopy blocks the number of visible GPS satellites
According to Leica, the new Leica Zeno Field software is an OEM version of ESRI ArcPad 8 and provides a full range of functions to easily control the integrated GNSS receiver and to manage the data collection process such as GNSS raw data logging, easy handling of GNSS real-time configurations, feature accuracy management, and an automated workflow between the field and office.
