RTK for Drones: Ultimate Precision Explained
RTK turns a drone’s meter-level GNSS into ~1–3 cm positioning by streaming RTCM corrections via NTRIP over cellular or Wi‑Fi. It covers the key components, why a nearby mountpoint matters, and the basic setup to reach and consistently maintain an RTK Fix.
What is NTRIP? RTCM Corrections for GNSS Rovers
NTRIP turns the internet into a real-time pipeline for RTCM corrections, giving GNSS rovers centimeter-level positioning. You’ll learn the core client settings (host, port, credentials, mountpoint) and what to watch—RTK Fix status and correction age.
