RTK
The RTK system consists of a local base station in or near the field that transmits corrections to the StarFire iTC on the RTK-equipped vehicle via the RTK radio.
The base station monitors the constellation of GPS satellites and continuously calculates a position. As the base station is not moving, the errors can be calculated in real-time. This error is then sent to the vehicle via the RTK radio where the vehicle’s receiver uses this information to calculate a highly accurate, corrected position.
RTK Extend
This unique feature maintains the performance of full functionality of RTK when temporary line-of-sight obstructions occur: If the StarFire iTC receiver has been powered for more than one hour, RTK-Extend maintains RTK accuracy up to 15 minutes after the base station signal is lost (two minutes if powered for less than one hour).
