RTK<\/p>

Real-Time Kinematic positioning<\/h2>

RTK is a GNSS correction workflow used to improve positioning during field work when the receiver, correction source and environment are suitable.<\/p>

Buyer note:<\/strong> Ask how corrections will be delivered in your region before choosing a receiver kit.<\/p>

GNSS receiver<\/p>

GNSS receiver<\/h2>

A GNSS receiver tracks satellite signals and is selected by application, correction workflow, field environment, controller needs and support expectations.<\/p>

Buyer note:<\/strong> Compare product pages after confirming surveying, agriculture, machine control, monitoring or USV requirements.<\/p>

Base and rover<\/p>

Base and rover workflow<\/h2>

A base and rover setup uses one receiver at a known reference point and another receiver in the field to support RTK correction work.<\/p>

Buyer note:<\/strong> Confirm radio, range, tripod, controller and local workflow requirements before requesting a quotation.<\/p>

CORS \/ NTRIP<\/p>

CORS and NTRIP corrections<\/h2>

CORS and NTRIP workflows can deliver correction data through a network connection when regional coverage, accounts and field connectivity are available.<\/p>

Buyer note:<\/strong> Check network availability and account requirements before choosing between CORS\/NTRIP and base-rover workflows.<\/p>

IMU tilt<\/p>

IMU tilt compensation<\/h2>

IMU tilt compensation helps operators collect points with a tilted pole when the receiver and field conditions support the workflow.<\/p>

Buyer note:<\/strong> Ask whether tilt workflow, calibration and site conditions fit your application.<\/p>

Enlace de datos<\/p>

GNSS datalink<\/h2>

A datalink supports correction or communication workflows between equipment, depending on the product, region and field setup.<\/p>

Buyer note:<\/strong> Confirm radio frequency, local rules, range expectations and receiver compatibility before ordering.<\/p>

USV survey<\/p>

USV hydrographic survey<\/h2>

A USV hydrographic survey workflow uses an unmanned surface vessel and supporting positioning or sensing equipment for water mapping projects.<\/p>

Buyer note:<\/strong> Share water body, payload, echo sounder, communication and support expectations before model selection.<\/p>
