RTK signal subscription from TerraStar

FRENDT offers a comprehensive Precision Agriculture solution with TerraStar paid signal correction delivered directly to the NovAtel GNSS receiver. Our company has over 20 years of experience of work with global network satellite data. Our specialists often install and maintain such equipment as GNSS receivers. Using this experience, we provide accurate positioning of the object anywhere and anytime.

How is the centimeter accuracy of the signal ensured?

1. 1. An independent GNSS management system sends raw data to the receiver for further correction.
2. 2. Satellite data is processed and system parameters are adjusted.
3. 3. There is no need for base stations and mobile connections.
4. 4. High-speed correction with a low level of delay generates a signal with centimeter accuracy.

TerraStar signal correction services offer a perfectly integrated solution that provides global coverage in any environment.

TerraStar network infrastructure

More than 100 GNSS satellite stations around the world are operated, supported, and controlled by TerraStar. There are six geostationary communication satellites which means that two rays are always visible from any spot on Earth. The TerraStar network has three network control centers, so the signal support is available 24/7.

Basic TerraStar services

TerraStar premium paid signal correction in combination with NovAtel OEM technologies determines the positioning of the object with centimeter accuracy for any ground, unmanned, and aviation applications worldwide using a GNSS receiver.

Benefits:

• • the corrections from the satellite eliminate the need to install base stations and to connect to the mobile network;
• • the continuous quality control of TerraStar signal and correction of GNSS errors;
• • after a short signal failure, it reconnects in less than 60 seconds;
• • OEM positioning technology allows up to 300 seconds of uninterrupted operation in case of interruptions in the correction signal;
• • geostationary satellites provide maximum coverage;
• • triple L-band tracking allows better reception of the correction signals even in adverse conditions;

• • an integrated approach includes hardware and GNSS correction.

Features:

1. 1. TerraStar-L is available for OEM7, OEM6, OEM628, and SMART6-L products.
2. 2. TerraStar-C is only available for OEM628, OEM638, and SMART6-L products.
3. 3. Horizontal and vertical accuracy may differ depending on receiver capabilities, location, state, and visibility of the GNSS constellation, GNSS signal/L-band interference, multilayer/interference level, and local weather.
4. 4. Convergence times can vary by several minutes and depend on the observation conditions, including the number of visible GNSS signals, the multipath level, and the proximity to obstacles such as large trees or buildings.
5. 5. Triple L-band tracking is only supported by OEM7 platforms. Most locations are supported by at least two geostationary satellites. Most locations are supported by at least two geostationary satellites.

RTK ASSIST Services: use a GNSS receiver

A NovAtel GNSS receiver in RTK ASSIST maintains centimeter accuracy, when RTK data is unavailable due to dead zones of the radio signal or mobile connection interruptions RTK ASSIST runs smoothly in the background until the correction is restored, the deadline is reached or the position accuracy is decreased to a certain level.

Our company offers comprehensive solutions, including RTK ASSIST, to meet different needs in the use: RTK ASSIST supports centimeter-level positioning for 20 minutes after the RTK correction is disabled.

Benefits:

• • Additional RTK networks increase productivity, reducing downtime caused by disabling the RTK correction signal and mobile interruptions.
• • Automatically compensates for the difference between data and other RTK solutions.

RTK ASSIST is available as a subscription directly from NovAtel in all the OEM7, OEM628, and SMART6-L products.
