About RTKdata
Centimeter accuracy, anywhere your business operates.
Empowering Precision with the World's Leading RTK Network
Our mission is to make precision positioning reliable, simple, and accessible to every business that moves.RTKdata is a GNSS RTK correction service founded in 2021 in Germany. We operate one of the world’s largest base station networks: 20,000+ stations across 140+ countries.
Built by Geodesists, Trusted Worldwide
RTKdata exists because precise positioning should not be a privilege of well-funded enterprises. Founded in 2021, RTKdata is led by three co-founders with deep geodesy and engineering backgrounds: Jonas Becker (CEO), Felix Förster (COO), and Konstantin Nidens (CMO).
The founders saw the same problem repeatedly: drone operators, surveying teams, agricultural fleets, and robotics builders all needed centimeter-accurate GNSS corrections, but the existing options were either tied to expensive proprietary hardware or limited to single countries. So they built a different model.
RTKdata aggregates and delivers RTK correction data via NTRIP from one of the largest base station networks in the industry: 20,000+ stations in 140+ countries, monitored 24/7. Customers connect any compatible GNSS receiver, pay per use or via subscription, and start working in minutes.
Today RTKdata serves customers across drones, agriculture, surveying, construction, and robotics, from solo operators to fleet-scale deployments. The company is headquartered in Namborn, Germany, and operates as the trade name of Kansi Solutions GmbH (HRB 107712, Amtsgericht Saarbrücken).
