With the Meridian Lite, Less is More

The Meridian Lite is a streamlined, entry-level MLS system. It is an affordable solution, especially for city-scale mapping projects, creating GIS databases, and executing large, challenging mapping projects.

Rolling Shutter Lenses

If you don’t need RGB colorized point clouds, the Mosaic 51 camera lets you lower your system cost while still collecting high-resolution 360° imagery + LiDAR for urban asset workflows.

Lightweight LiDAR

While others chase 3–5 million pts/sec and end up with too much data that slows processing, transfer, and storage without adding real value, Mosaic Meridian captures around 800,000 pts/sec with 3 returns—enough for robust automation and clear interpretation.

Single Operator Needed

You don't need advanced knowledge of GIS to operate the Meridian Lite. A single operator with minimal training can install the system on the roof, collect data, and monitor the process from the vehicle's cab.
