In field RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) measurements, the CORS (Continuously Operating Reference Station) mode has become the mainstream choice due to its convenience—eliminating the need to set up a base station and offering a wide operational range. 

When performing field surveys with APEKS GNSS receivers, the Built-in Radio mode is the most reliable method for real-time data transmission between the Base and Rover. However, factors such as signal interference, mismatched settings, or hardware connection issues often lead to radio mode failures and interrupt your workflow.

In modern surveying and mapping, RTK GNSS receivers are indispensable tools. The communication system integrated on the motherboard determines the device's adaptability in various working scenarios, from surveying and mapping to agriculture and construction. These receivers are often equipped with multiple communication options to ensure connectivity.

In the field of GNSS surveying, RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) technology has become the industry standard due to its centimeter-level positioning accuracy. 

In the world of Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning, the ability to transmit differential data over long distances is critical for many applications. Traditionally, radio communication has been the go-to method for RTK users to achieve accurate real-time corrections without relying on network coverage. 

NTRIP (Real-Time Transmission over Network) is a protocol that transmits GNSS correction data in real time over the internet, significantly improving positioning accuracy. When used in conjunction with Apeks GNSS receivers, NTRIP can help you achieve high-precision real-time positioning and is widely used in fields such as geographic surveying, land surveying, and construction. This article will detail how to configure and use NTRIP network mode to ensure you can successfully achieve accurate GNSS measurements.

Accurate slope measurement is essential in surveying, engineering, and construction.

When working on a surveying project, it's very important to make sure the control points provided by the client are accurate and stable.

If you've ever needed to divide a line into equal parts for construction, mapping, or surveying work, the Equal Distance Stakeout function in your RTK is a real time-saver.

If you already use GNSS/RTK for point surveying, you can also use it to measure the included angle formed by three points — one vertex and two points along the sides.

In the world of surveying, UAV mapping, and precision agriculture, accurate positioning is critical. Two of the most widely used GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning technologies are RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) and PPK (Post-Processed Kinematic). 

If you're interested in high-precision positioning or RTK surveying, you may have heard of CORS (Continuous Operational Reference System).
