RTK eliminates most of these errors using a correction system:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A network of fixed base stations (CORS network) continuously receives signals from GNSS satellites (GPS, BDS, GLONASS, Galileo).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>These stations calculate real-time correction data for the positioning errors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The corrections are sent to your mobile receiver (e.g., a surveying device or autonomous vehicle), which combines them with its own satellite measurements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The result is positioning accuracy down to <strong>2\u20135 centimeters<\/strong>, in real time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This leap in precision unlocks applications like autonomous driving, precision agriculture, surveying, drone mapping, and industrial automation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Centimeter-Level Accuracy Upgrading from &#8220;meter-level&#8221; to &#8220;centimeter-level&#8221; enables entirely new industries.
