Use LoRa to Get Better RTK Accuracy... From 9 Miles Away!
How far can you push RTK corrections using LoRa? In our new video, we test a long-range base and rover setup using the SparkPNT Facet with a built-in 915MHz, 1W LoRa radio, achieving reliable RTK accuracy over miles of line-of-sight distance.
Getting GNSS corrections relies on connectivity, which can be limiting. Luckily, you can go long range with the Facet FP. These devices are LoRa-compatible and even come with an antenna.
Check out how it works in our newest video, where Nate uses a Facet FP with LoRa to get great RTK accuracy 9 miles away from our correction source.
We demonstrate a real-world setup transmitting corrections from a base station positioned on a known survey mount to a rover nearly 9 miles away, while maintaining centimeter-level accuracy.
- LoRa enables long-range correction transmission without internet
- RTK fixes can be maintained even with intermittent packet delivery
- Line-of-sight plays a critical role in performance
- Built-in radios simplify base + rover deployments in the field
The Facet FP line of receivers are repairable, user-upgradeable, and use open-source firmware. Learn more about them here:
