Mondo Pin is now live in New Zealand
Mondo Pin was launched in Australia in 2021 with a simple aim: make good-quality GNSS corrections easy to access and manage and at a fair price for the people who rely on it every day. This week we've launched across the Tasman, and New Zealand surveyors, civil construction and precision agriculture users can now connect to the Mondo Pin network.
What's available in New Zealand
Nationwide coverage with VRS and NEAREST base solutions
Support for all major GNSS constellations
Monthly or annual licensing, with the ability to turn licences on or off as project needs change
A management portal showing your licences and active connections in one place
Support from people who work in the industry
A few things worth checking before you choose a correction provider
There are more GNSS correction services entering the Australian and New Zealand market than ever, and some are very cheap. Price matters, but in our experience, it's rarely what costs a crew a day. Before you sign up with anyone, including us, it's worth confirming:
Datum and projection support. Construction survey works on a specific datum and projection. A service that doesn't support the datum your project runs on can costs more than the savings.
The support capability. When a rover won't hold fix at 8 am, you want someone in who understands the equipment and the job, not an open ticket queue overseas.
Licence flexibility. If your GNSS fleet goes up and down with project load, a fixed annual contract for every unit means paying for idle licences. Check whether you can scale licences with the work.
Visibility. Can you see who is connected, on which licence, right now? It saves a lot of time and admin to have a transparent system.
Try it alongside what you already use
The simplest way to compare the providers is in the field, on your own gear, on a real job. Mondo Pin offers a 7-day free trial, and we'd suggest running it side by side with your current service. Check that it holds a fix solution, check that it supports your datum, and check that someone answers the phone.
If your current setup is working well, no problem. If cost, flexibility or support are starting to be an issue, it may be worth taking a look before your next renewal.

Thank you to our Australian customers and partners who helped us get here. New Zealand, we're ready.
