Receive RTK corrections to your data logger with the VBOX NTRIP Modem

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

The VBOX NTRIP Modem allows you to receive RTK correction data via Internet, without having to operate your own RTK base station.

The VBOX NTRIP Modem enables the roving VBOX unit, or any other RTK-enabled device, to send its position to the stations within the network – just as it would to a single VBOX Base Station. The NTRIP service provider will then calculate the appropriate corrections for the VBOX’s location based on the data from nearby reference stations. This correction information is then returned to the VBOX in the same RTCM format as is used for a single fixed base station.

One of the main advantages of NTRIP is that you can achieve centimetre accuracy without having to purchase and operate your own RTK base station.

By using the internet, you also overcome the transmission limitations posed by radios. Radio signals can be blocked by hills, buildings, trees, etc., and they have a limited distance they can travel.

Correction messages received via the RTK network can be an advantage if testing is conducted tens of kilometres away from the base station, over large changes in elevation or where topographical obstacles could get in the way.
