Tripod Data Systems designs and manufactures hardware and software for mobile computing in extreme outdoor and industrial environments, including land surveying, mapping, forestry, utility, public safety and military applications. The rugged, waterproof TDS Ranger™ and Recon™ are the first Windows-based handheld computers that meet military standards for drops, vibration and temperature extremes. TDS software includes GIS systems for field data collection and automation, and its Survey Pro™ software has been the #1 choice of surveyors since 1995. TDS is also the U.S. distributor for Nikon® survey products. In addition to print advertising and collateral material creation, Sanda has provided public relations services to TDS, resulting in wide-ranging publicity for the Recon and Ranger, inside and outside the industry.
