Carlson Software
aRTK is an innovave feature available in Carlson’s BRx7 Smart Antenna
that greatly migates the impact of land‐based communicaon instability.
Powered by Hemisphere’s Atlas L‐band system service, aRTK provides an
addional layer of communicaon redundancy to RTK users, assuring that
producvity is not impacted by intermient data connecvity.
BRx7 receives the aRTK augmentaon correcon data over satellite,
while also receiving the land‐ based RTK correcon data. With this, the
receiver internally operates with two sources of RTK correcon, creang
one addional layer of correcon redundancy as compared to typical RTK
systems.
Once this process is established (a few seconds), the receiver can operate
in the absence of either correcon source. The receiver can connue
generang RTK posions if the land‐based RTK correcon source becomes
unavailable for a period of me.
SureFix is an addional processor that runs in combinaon with the RTK
engine and provides high delity quality indicators to users.
The SureFix processor takes several inputs, such as GNSS data, data
preprocessing results, and generated RTK soluons. Using all the available
informaon and funconal and stochasc analysis methods, SureFix
determines the quality of the current RTK engine soluon.
Shown as SureFix quality indicators, these indicators are combined with
the RTK soluon before being provided to the user. At the end of the
process, the user has access to high delity informaon about the quality
of the RTK soluon.
