Reliability is phenomenal – 99.99% for baselines up to 30 km – and the range is outstanding. Organizations in many countries are establishing GNSS reference stations.
How does Leica GPS work?
In order to provide accurate and reliable tilt values, Leica Geosystems developed an application-specific, powerful and lightweight inertial micro unit (IMU), which is built into the GNSS antenna. The real -time tilt compensation combines GNSS data with the IMU's tilt and direction values.
Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning is positioning that is based on at least two GPS receivers—a base receiver and one or more rover receivers. The base receiver takes measurements from satellites in view and then broadcasts them, together with its location, to the rover receiver(s).
What is GNSS and how it works?
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) refers to a constellation of satellites providing signals from space that transmit positioning and timing data to GNSS receivers. The receivers then use this data to determine location. By definition, GNSS provides global coverage.
What can GNSS be used for?
GNSS is used in systems that track and forecast the movement of freight and monitor road networks, improving efficiency and enhancing driver safety. Using GNSS, shipping hubs can improve their operating efficiency by tracking the movement and placement of containers about their yards.
