Definition
A GNSS monitoring system uses satellite positioning, antennas, corrections, telemetry, and processing to observe displacement or movement trends.
Engineering Problem Statement
Long-term displacement monitoring requires stable monuments, sky visibility, correction strategy, and data review procedures.
System Architecture
- GNSS receiver and antenna
- Stable monument or mounting
- Correction or processing workflow
- Telemetry
- Trend reports and alerts
How Products Work Together
QuakeLogic solution architectures should be specified as complete systems: sensors generate measurements, acquisition hardware synchronizes and stores data, communications move data to reviewers, software supports dashboards and reports, and documentation supports procurement, commissioning, and maintenance.
Selection Guidance
- Use GNSS for absolute displacement and trend monitoring
- Pair with tilt or local sensors for richer diagnostics
- Confirm multipath, sky view, and mounting stability

Frequently Asked Questions
Which sensor should I choose?
Choose by measured quantity, range, frequency, accuracy, installation environment, calibration needs, and data use case.
What data acquisition hardware is required?
Confirm sensor signal type, channel count, sampling rate, timing, local storage, telemetry, power, and software compatibility.
Which communication method is appropriate?
Use wired links for controlled short runs, wireless or cellular for remote sites, and local storage where communications are unavailable or not required in real time.
