The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Leica Geosystems Mining the solutions depend on buying Leica measurement hardware and sensors, including LiDAR and airborne laser scanning units, rather than software alone; RPMGlobal TALPAC rPMGlobal publishes no price, no licence model and no purchase route for TALPAC
  • They diverge on capability: Leica Geosystems Mining covers GNSS positioning, RPMGlobal TALPAC covers Long-term planning.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Leica Geosystems Mining

  • The solutions depend on buying Leica measurement hardware and sensors, including LiDAR and airborne laser scanning units, rather than software alone
  • No price, subscription fee or licensing term is published on the mining solutions page
  • Fleet management is handled by the separate Hexagon Mining business rather than by Leica Geosystems

RPMGlobal TALPAC

  • RPMGlobal publishes no price, no licence model and no purchase route for TALPAC
  • TALPAC is sold in separate surface and underground versions rather than as one product
  • TALPAC covers haulage productivity only; scheduling and simulation require other RPMGlobal products such as XPAC and HAULSIM
