RTK (Real-Time Kinematic)

Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) is a technology used in satellite positioning to achieve high-precision location data. It enhances standard GPS by using a base station with a known position, which sends correction signals to a rover (mobile receiver) nearby. This allows the rover to determine its location with centimeter-level accuracy in real-time, making RTK ideal for applications like land surveying, precision agriculture, and autonomous vehicles. The system significantly reduces the errors typically found in regular GPS, providing accurate and reliable positioning data for various industries.
