01 / DESIGNED FOR THE APPLICATION

A fixed reference.For machines that move.

A dedicated reference station for autonomous vehicles and robotics. Install at a fixed location and deliver corrections through your wired or cellular network.

01

An automatic start

Connect power and network access. The basestation updates its firmware and starts a Precise Point Positioning (PPP) survey automatically.

02

Power for the installation

Use 802.3at PoE, 9-36 V DC or solar input. Integrated solar charging supports a 12 V battery.

03

Connected to your robots

Send RTCM corrections over MQTT or NTRIP using Ethernet or built-in LTE Cat 4 cellular connectivity.

Zero Touch Provisioning

  1. 01 / Power + connectivity

    Connect

    The basestation provisions itself and automatically updates its firmware.

  2. 02 / Starts automatically

    Survey

    A PPP survey establishes the station's fixed reference position.

  3. 03 / After the initial survey

    Rapid

    RTCM output starts immediately using the Rapid PPP survey solution, over MQTT or NTRIP.

  4. 04 / After roughly two weeks

    Final

    The station transitions to RTCM corrections based on the completed Final PPP survey solution.

Rapid and Final describe the PPP survey solution used for the base reference position. Corrections are delivered as RTCM in both stages. No fixed time to the initial Rapid solution is specified.

02 / CONNECTIONS THAT MATTER

Ready to integrate.

Dedicated connections for power, antennas, network access and local service, with wall, DIN rail and rack mounting options.
