Stations
Not published; the public SourcetableThe list of every mount point a caster offers. Your app shows it when you connect without picking one.Full definition listed 13 mountpoints on Oct 17, 2026 (network products plus any single-station streams)
Needs cell signal?
Yes: NTRIPThe standard way RTK corrections are sent over the internet. Think of it as internet radio for correction data.Full definition needs internet at the RoverThe receiver that moves around the job, like a survey pole or a drone. It uses the base's corrections to find its exact spot.Full definition (cell data or a phone hotspot). General rule, not an operator statement.
Network
Cloud network RTK (VRSVirtual reference station. The network blends nearby stations to create a pretend base right next to you, which keeps the baseline short.Full definition) with atmospheric modeling

Correction formats
RTCMThe common format RTK corrections are written in, so different brands can understand each other.Full definition MSM5
Datum / EpochOne moment of GPS measurement. A receiver logging at 1 Hz records one epoch every second.Full definition / GeoidA lumpy, imaginary "sea level" surface around the whole Earth. Elevations are measured from it.Full definition
ITRFInternational Terrestrial Reference Frame. A worldwide datum. In the US it's about a meter different from NAD 83.Full definition current epoch, WGS 84The worldwide datum GPS uses by default. It's very close to ITRF.Full definition(G1674), or NAD 83(2011)The official US datum for horizontal position right now. Most state networks give coordinates in it.Full definition epoch 2010 by Mount pointOne specific correction stream on a caster, like one channel on a radio. Each one comes from a certain station or network setup.Full definition
