ComNav Technology Expands Presence in Africa at FIG 2026

ComNav Technology successfully concluded its participation at FIG 2026, held from May 24–29 at Convention Square in Cape Town, South Africa. As one of the most influential global events in the surveying and geospatial industry, FIG 2026 brought together professionals, organizations, and technology innovators worldwide to explore the future of geospatial development and precision positioning technologies.

During the exhibition, ComNav showcased a range of advanced surveying solutions, including the newly launched Mercury Laser RTK, LS600 Laser Scanner, Jupiter Laser RTK, and T20 Palm GNSS Receiver. The booth attracted strong interest from visitors across Africa and other international markets, highlighting the growing demand for efficient and intelligent surveying technologies in the South African and broader African markets.

Among the highlights, the new Mercury Laser RTK drew significant attention for its true pole-free surveying experience. Integrating advanced laser technology, real-time visualization, and a high-performance geodetic antenna into a compact handheld design, Mercury enables accurate measurements up to 50 meters without requiring a traditional survey pole or controller. Powered by the next-generation K9 chip and advanced IMU algorithms, it delivers fast and efficient measurements even in complex environments, while its HD touchscreen and one-tap measurement function greatly enhance operational convenience and user experience.

The LS600 Laser Scanner also became a major focus at the event. Combining advanced SLAM technology with a built-in RTK module and dual-camera system, the LS600 delivers high-speed scanning and detailed true-color point clouds with centimeter-level accuracy. Its efficient workflows and reliable indoor-outdoor performance make it well suited for applications, from surveying and urban renewal to mining and emergency response.

In addition, the Jupiter Laser RTK and T20 Palm GNSS Receiver further demonstrated ComNav’s diverse surveying portfolio. Jupiter integrates laser, GNSS, and visual technologies to provide efficient survey and stakeout capabilities in signal-blocked or hard-to-reach environments, while the compact T20 offers lightweight portability, full-constellation tracking, and stable high-precision performance for GIS, land surveying, and agricultural applications.

During the exhibition, ComNav also participated in the XXVIII FIG Congress, where the company introduced its latest technological developments and shared application experiences of the LS600 Laser Scanner with global industry professionals, further strengthening ComNav’s international presence and technical influence.

Additionally, ComNav also joined industry activities celebrating Qingdao’s successful bid to host the FIG Congress 2030, marking the first time the prestigious event will be held in China. This historic achievement highlights the rapid development of China's geospatial industry and reinforces the importance of international cooperation in advancing surveying and geospatial technologies worldwide.

Through participation in FIG 2026, ComNav further strengthened its connections with partners and professionals in the African market, particularly in South Africa, where demand for efficient and intelligent geospatial solutions continues to grow. Looking ahead, ComNav remains committed to delivering innovative technologies and localized support to empower the global surveying and geospatial industry.
