You’ll have seen us point out RTK In every single place within the documentation for the RTK Torch that got here out just a few months in the past, and within the lately launched RTK EVK – however what’s it? Quick reply: RTK In every single place is our new firmware for our enclosed PNT merchandise.
Need the lengthy reply? Let’s get into it!
Increased Reminiscence Want
We had a necessity for brand spanking new firmware on our PNT surveyors as a result of our new merchandise have a necessity for larger PSRAM, as a consequence of their superior capabilities like tilt compensation and corrections precedence, each of which require extra assets. So, we reconstructed the firmware to accommodate these new reminiscence wants. Our new, extra highly effective gadgets just like the Torch can benefit from that additional area for his or her superior function set.
Extra Selection in RTK Options
RTK In every single place will help a variety of RTK answer varieties. For instance, with it, the RTK Torch can help corrections through Bluetooth, Wifi, PointPerfect over IP, and Galileo E6 HAS. The RTK EVK helps corrections through IP, PointPerfect over L-Band, NTRIP, Bluetooth, WiFi, and mobile.
With the {hardware} and consumer wants evolving, we wanted to verify our merchandise had been prepared for an array of functions and never locked into only one technique of connectivity. Now with our merchandise that use RTK In every single place, you may take your decide of the way you need corrections. With the appearance of the ESA’s Galileo E6 HAS, a GNSS augmentation that makes use of the Galileo E6 sign, you may get exact satellite tv for pc corrections without cost.
PointPerfect Flexibility
RTK In every single place provides us maneuverability to make use of all kinds of receiver chips and correction varieties. PointPerfect is u-blox’s service and historically solely works with u-blox {hardware}. PointPerfect outputs corrections in SPARTN format, which is designed for extensive space broadcast with low bandwidth. The format most receivers are capable of course of is RTCM, which is designed for point-to-point differential corrections, not for broadcast. U-blox designs their merchandise to have the ability to obtain PointPerfect corrections through SPARTN.
Nonetheless, with RTK In every single place, we now have the area to include the PointPerfect library (PPL) onto different chip primarily based merchandise that converts PointPerfect SPARTN information to RTCM information that they will learn. Nobody else does this! Which means although the RTK Torch does not comprise a u-blox positioning chip, it nonetheless is in a position to connect with PointPerfect by way of our utilization of PPL within the RTK In every single place firmware!
