Revolutionizing NRTK with Low-Cost Receivers
In the surveying industry, network RTK (NRTK) is a dominant solution for achieving centimetre-level measurements. It utilizes a network of Continuous Operating Reference Stations (CORS) to calculate a reliable and accurate solution.
However, setting up these CORS, traditionally, can be expensive in terms of both time and money.
Mondo Pin, in conjunction with RMIT , are conducting a project to assess the possibility of using affordable GNSS receivers ($300-$600) for NRTK applications. By setting up three of these receivers with fixed baselines of roughly 11km, we can establish a CORS subnet using the same software as Mondo Pin to create a NRTK solution.

The project's primary aim is to compare the position quality of low-cost receivers with industry standard NRTK solution as control.
We're filled with anticipation of seeing the results, as they could uncover affordable alternatives that offer location flexibility and quick set-up.
