u-blox enhances its PointPerfect Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) service by integrating Real-Time Corrections Message (RTCM) support

The PointPerfect RTCM service, provided by u-blox, has undergone an expansion, making high-precision Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) correction services more accessible and cost-effective than ever before.

This expansion introduces RTCM (Real-Time Precise Positioning) users to usage-based pricing plans, allowing them to pay only for the hours they use. This innovative approach offers an affordable alternative to the high annual service fees of conventional RTK suppliers.

The PointPerfect RTCM service, now compatible with any GNSS RTK receiver hardware, provides coverage over entire continents, countries, and regions. With centimeter-level precision in seconds, it offers reliable performance with a 99.9% uptime availability.

The addition of RTCM to the PointPerfect service increases its flexibility, making it possible to use with mixed device fleets without requiring integration expertise. This expansion targets devices in segments that utilize the RTCM data standard, including robotic lawnmowers, service delivery robots, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and precision agriculture equipment.

Pooled plans are also available, enabling users to optimize costs by sharing service hours across their entire device fleet. The service is easy to use, making it an ideal solution for businesses and individuals seeking high-precision GNSS correction services.

Notably, companies like ALLSAT GmbH are already leveraging this expansion. ALLSAT GmbH serves application segments in geodetic surveying, navigation, and high-end measurement solutions through partnerships with manufacturers like Leica Geosystems and JAVAD GNSS.

The high-precision service works with both u-blox and non-u-blox GNSS RTK receiver modules, further broadening its applicability. Prior to this expansion, the PointPerfect service only delivered correction data using the SPARTN data format.

In summary, the PointPerfect RTCM service expansion offers a cost-effective, flexible, and easy-to-use high-precision GNSS correction service that can be used with a wide range of devices. Whether you're in geodetic surveying, precision agriculture, or robotics, PointPerfect RTCM could be the solution you've been looking for.
