GNSS RTK system set-up
Base and rover installation, radio and NTRIP links, coordinate system and site calibration set-up, and first start-up in the field.
Buying a new GNSS RTK kit is only half the job: to get the expected ±1–2 cm horizontal accuracy in the field, the base station, rover, controller, radio or internet link and coordinate system must all be set up correctly. A wrong projection parameter or antenna height can shift an entire survey systematically, and such errors are hard to spot later.
During set-up we choose the workflow that fits your projects: your own base with UHF radio, network RTK via NTRIP/CORS, or both. A base location is selected and its coordinates are derived from known control points or a long static session. A project template is created on the controller with the national grid, WGS-84 or UTM zone 39N parameters and a geoid model, and a site calibration on known points is performed where needed.
Once configured, the system is verified with control measurements and the first field start-up is done together with your crew in Baku or anywhere in Azerbaijan. Alongside SOUTH receivers we can set up CHC and other RTK kits, as well as simple base solutions for machine control on construction equipment.
When you need it
- When a new GNSS RTK kit has been purchased
- When switching to your own base station
- When a new site uses a local coordinate system
- When connecting to an NTRIP network
