Break Free from CMR+ & CMRx Lock-In
Machine Control That Works Anywhere with Red Edge Resources
The Hidden Problem in Machine Control
One of the biggest frustrations in machine control today isn’t accuracy — it’s compatibility.
Many contractors invest heavily in systems, only to find:
- They only work with specific correction formats (CMR+ / CMRx)
- They rely on proprietary networks
- They fail to connect on certain sites
- They become unusable when moving between projects
👉 In short: you don’t own your system — the system owns you.
What is CMR+ and CMRx Lock-In?
CMR+ and CMRx are proprietary correction formats used by certain major brands.
While they can perform well inside their own ecosystem, they create major limitations:
- Restricted compatibility with other GNSS equipment
- Limited flexibility across different sites
- Dependence on specific hardware or networks
- Inconsistent real-world connectivity
This becomes a serious issue in:
- Remote mining operations
- Regional civil projects
- Multi-contractor sites
The Red Edge Approach: Total Freedom
At Red Edge Resources, we take a different approach:
Your system should work anywhere — not just where the network allows it.
That’s why our machine control solutions are designed around:
- Open correction formats (RTCM)
- Flexible communication methods
- Independent base station capability
Operate Anywhere, On Any Site
With a Red Edge machine control system, you are not tied to:
- A specific network
- A specific correction provider
- A specific brand ecosystem
You can operate:
- On remote mine sites with no coverage
- On civil projects with mixed equipment
- Across multiple locations without reconfiguration headaches
Free Base Station with Your System
The Key to True Independence
Every Red Edge machine control solution includes:
👉 A base station setup — at no additional cost
This means:
- You are not reliant on third-party correction services
- You can generate your own RTK corrections
- You maintain full control over your positioning
Why a Base Station Matters
Without your own base station, you are dependent on:
- Network availability
- Subscription services
- External infrastructure
With a Red Edge base station:
- You control accuracy
- You control uptime
- You control your workflow
Built for Real-World Conditions
Whether you’re running:
- Mining operations in remote regions
- Civil Construction projects across multiple sites
- Or regional infrastructure jobs
Your system needs to work every time, everywhere.
Red Edge solutions are designed to:
- Operate without network reliance
- Handle harsh Australian environments
- Deliver consistent performance across sites
No More Compatibility Guesswork
One of the biggest issues in the industry is:
👉 “Will this system connect?”
With Red Edge:
- Systems are configured for open protocols from day one
- Compatibility is tested in real-world conditions
- You get a solution that actually works on site
The Cost Advantage
Breaking free from CMR+/CMRx doesn’t just improve reliability — it reduces cost:
- No expensive network subscriptions
- No forced upgrades
- No vendor lock-in
Combined with lower hardware costs, this delivers:
👉 A significantly lower total cost of ownership
The Bottom Line
If your machine control system only works in certain conditions, it’s not a solution — it’s a limitation.
With Red Edge, you get:
- Freedom from proprietary correction formats
- A free base station with your system
- The ability to operate anywhere, anytime
Why Choose Red Edge Resources?
- Practical, site-tested solutions
