Experience the Topcon Tesla Field Controller – Is Bigger Really Better?



It’s a challenge to stand out in the surveying and construction global market when most brands are equipped with the latest field innovations. Topcon, however, has done just that with their release of the largest screen data collector on the market! With their exclusive LongLink technology, wireless communication is possible with total stations up to 1000 feet away.

As one of the latest additions to the company’s comprehensive range of surveying field controllers, the Topcon Tesla is unique with its impressive 5.7-inch touchscreen display. The large screen offers better visibility and lets you view maps vertically or horizontally. It is also strategically placed in the perfect location for finger scrolling and accessing all graphical controls, allowing you to perform many screen functions with ease.

Just like a tablet PC but without the bulk, this portable data collector runs with the modern interface of Windows Mobile 6.5.3 operating system, which allows users to enjoy the mobile versions of Internet Explorer, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, Media Player and Adobe Reader. It also works with Topcon’s popular line-up of reliable surveying data collection software, such as TopSURV, Pocket 3D, Layout and the new MAGNET Field software. With both field and office functionality, you can greatly accelerate your data collection process.

Don’t let its large screen fool you! The Tesla is not as fragile as you think because it can survive water immersion, extreme temperatures and drops from up to 4 feet high! It also has all the essential wireless features you can expect from a handheld field computer, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS and a digital camera for visually documenting the survey area.  And with its second battery slot, it operates up to 16 hours and supports typically battery-draining GPS applications.

“The dustproof and waterproof instrument with its IP67 rating is impervious to harsh conditions, including water, sand, humidity, dust, vibration, altitude, shock and extreme temperature. Its almost six-inch, ultra-bright, backlit LCD screen ensures that bigger is definitely better,” said Scott Langbein, senior manager for TPS product management.*




To suit the needs of your latest construction project, this surveying data controller is available in three models (Standard, Geo and Geo G3), giving you the option to add a built-in GPS receiver, a 3.2-megapixel camera and a 3G modem for accessing Cloud storage anywhere. These budget friendly options add flexibility because you have the freedom of choosing the features that you use the most.

With its high-portability and a large screen display, the Tesla proves bigger is better (screen that is!). The Topcon data collector simplifies land data collection and incorporates office work into the field.
