For the highest possible levels of accuracy, nothing outperforms RTK, which eliminates any possibility of GPS drift. And it’s repeatable. So it makes easy work of applications where the highest precision is required year after year – for example if growing high value crops. John Deere Agricultural Management Solutions | 11 RTK the easy way You may find that a dealer-run RTK network is your best solution. Because renting a usage licence from your dealer eliminates the need to invest in your own base station. That means you immediately benefit from your dealer’s experience with RTK and you can forget about potential maintenance issues. Mobile RTK. The simple solution for challenging locations Instead of a fixed base station, the Mobile RTK correction signal is generated via mobile phone technology. This provides unrivalled and repeatable accuracy virtually everywhere, even in scattered fields and in hilly terrain. It works with any machine equipped with a StarFire 3000 receiver and our Mobile RTK modem. The open modem permits the use of third-party signals – your dealer can provide full details. RTK Extend. Bridging the gap RTK Extend maintains RTK performance even during temporary line-of-sight interruptions, such as working under a line of trees. RTK accuracy will be maintained for 15 minutes after losing base station signal, as long as your StarFire 3000 receiver has been powered up for at least one hour. And if you’re operating beyond RTK availability, there’s a cost-free SF2 signal to fall back on. How Mobile RTK takes accuracy to the extremes The satellite GPS signal is processed together with geophysical correction data generated from a countrywide pool of existing base stations, so there’s no need to own your own. Machines equipped with the John Deere Mobile RTK modem receive the centrally calculated correction signal via the mobile phone network. And it all works regardless of terrain or geographical diversity.
