If you are looking to become a service operator yourself and provide RTK corrections to your customers, then Alberding GmbH offers an interesting solution for you. An RTK correction data server that is easy to install and operate, cost-effective and powerful.

Customers receive a password-protected access to the service through mobile Internet connection. Users can either decide to download the RTK corrections of a manually selected base station or the nearest active station is automatically selected for them, based on their actual position. This "nearest base option" is particularly interesting for agricultural enterprises.

In addition to RTK data distribution, the Alberding Ntrip Caster can also monitor the availability of the data streams and alert system operators in case of failure (e.g. Internet connection interruptions) via email or SMS.

For billing and statistical purposes the RTK service provider receives information about the connection and initialisation time of the individual customers. In the "Map" module the position of the currently connected users is displayed.

The receiver should be placed in a rack cabinet (for example in the workshop building) with Internet access and power supply. The integrated receiver software sends the measurement data to the Internet server in real time.

On-site system installation takes about half a day. The GNSS antenna should be installed by a local electrician company that is certified in the area of lightning protection. The effort is similar to the installation of a satellite TV dish. The cost of a GNSS (GPS+GLONASS) base station is around €10K.

As an alternative to the Internet server solution, you may install the software on a local PC. This PC must be connected to the Internet, so that the data can be received via mobile Internet connection.

Low entry cost - upgradable in the future:

The simplest software configuration (1 RTK base station, 10 users) is available already for €500 - net (without web interface, PC and installation costs). Gradual extensions exist in the number of RTK base stations and users. Once installed and configured, the solution will be reliable and robust.
