Introduction
The Slingshot™ base station is designed to provide subscribed field hubs with RTK level GNSS (Global
Navigation Satellite System) corrections via a cellular service provider. Correction information is sent from the
Slingshot base station to the Raven Slingshot server and back to a field hub to supply the guidance correction
information to the guidance device.
The Slingshot base station will be delivered and installed in two phases:
1. Preparation and set up for a new base station.
2. Delivery and commissioning of the Slingshot base station.
