RTK FIX NTRIP Management Platform

RTK FIX is a cloud-based platform for accessing, managing and automating RTK GNSS correction services. It connects RTK-enabled receivers, drones, machines and software to compatible NTRIP correction networks and provides tools for managing subscriptions, credentials, devices and users from a central dashboard.

RTK stands for Real-Time Kinematic. It is a GNSS positioning technique that sends correction data from reference stations or RTK networks to a mobile GNSS receiver, often called a rover. These corrections reduce positioning errors and can enable centimetre-level positioning under suitable operating conditions.

RTK FIX provides access to RTK correction networks designed for centimetre-level GNSS positioning. In suitable conditions, compatible RTK receivers can typically achieve approximately 1–2 cm positioning accuracy. Actual performance depends on factors such as the GNSS receiver, satellite visibility, correction network, distance to reference infrastructure, mobile data connection and surrounding environment.

RTK FIX is designed to work with RTK-enabled GNSS hardware and software capable of receiving supported correction streams. This includes surveying receivers, GNSS rovers, UAV and drone systems, machine-control equipment, agricultural guidance systems and other positioning solutions that support network RTK.

RTK FIX can be used with many RTK-capable receivers from manufacturers such as Trimble, Leica, Topcon and Emlid, provided the device supports the required NTRIP connection and correction format for the selected network. Device-specific configuration requirements can vary between models.

Depending on the selected RTK network and GNSS receiver, RTK FIX can support correction services using constellations including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS. The constellations actually used are determined by the capabilities of both the correction network and the connected receiver.

RTK FIX provides the connection information and credentials required to access a compatible RTK correction service. The GNSS receiver connects through the internet using NTRIP and receives real-time correction data from the selected network or mountpoint. Once configured correctly and sufficient satellite data is available, the receiver can calculate an RTK position.

NTRIP, or Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol, is a commonly used method for delivering GNSS correction data over the internet. An RTK rover connects to an NTRIP caster using connection details such as a server address, port, username, password and mountpoint.

RTK FIX is designed to integrate different types of RTK infrastructure, including VRS networks, CORS networks, nearest-base services and single-base connections. Supported correction streams can include commonly used formats such as RTCM and CMR, depending on the connected network and equipment.

Yes. RTK FIX includes functionality for managing third-party RTK subscriptions and existing NTRIP connections. Organisations using several regional or national correction providers can bring compatible connections into one management environment instead of maintaining separate workflows for every provider.

Yes. One of the core functions of RTK FIX is combining access to multiple RTK networks in a unified platform. This is useful for companies operating across different regions, using different network providers or managing a fleet of GNSS equipment that requires access to different correction services.

RTK FIX connects users to participating RTK networks across multiple countries and regions. Coverage depends on the correction networks available at the project location. Users working internationally can select appropriate network access for supported countries and manage those connections through the same platform.

RTK FIX is intended for professionals and organisations that depend on high-accuracy GNSS positioning. Typical users include surveyors, drone operators, construction companies, machine-control specialists, agricultural businesses, mapping companies, mining operations, offshore and marine operators, equipment rental companies, GNSS hardware dealers and RTK network providers.

Yes. Surveyors can use RTK FIX to connect compatible GNSS rovers to network corrections for real-time high-accuracy positioning. The platform can also help surveying companies manage multiple receivers, users, credentials and correction subscriptions from one dashboard.

Yes. RTK-enabled drones and UAV mapping systems can use network corrections to improve the accuracy of georeferenced flight data. RTK FIX is particularly useful for organisations that need correction access for individual flights, operate drones in different regions or manage multiple UAV and GNSS systems.

Yes. RTK correction data can support compatible construction positioning and machine-control systems that require precise real-time coordinates. Companies can centrally manage correction access for equipment operating across different projects, teams and locations.

Yes. Compatible agricultural GNSS and autosteer systems can use RTK corrections for high-precision guidance and repeatable positioning. RTK FIX can also help agricultural equipment suppliers and operators centrally manage RTK access for multiple machines and customers.

Yes. RTK FIX includes team-management functionality for organisations operating multiple receivers or crews. Administrators can invite users, assign access, manage devices and control which resources individual team members can use.

Yes. The fleet-management functionality is designed to provide a central overview of RTK-enabled equipment. Organisations can manage devices, subscriptions and usage from one dashboard, helping them understand which equipment is assigned, active or available across their operation.

Yes. RTK FIX supports flexible activation of correction access, including subscription-based access and credit-based 24-hour activation where available. This can be useful for occasional surveying work, drone flights, short projects or equipment that does not require continuous RTK access.

Not necessarily. With supported RTK FIX configurations, existing NTRIP credentials and connection settings can remain configured on the receiver while access is activated or deactivated through the platform. This can reduce the need to repeatedly enter connection details in field equipment.

RTK FIX includes credential-management features designed to prevent master NTRIP login details from being distributed unnecessarily. The platform can provide controlled credentials that map to the original account, allowing organisations to give users RTK access while maintaining central control over the underlying connection.

Yes. Access can be configured with a defined end date where supported, allowing credentials or user access to expire automatically. Organisations can also maintain ongoing access for users or equipment that require a permanent connection.

Yes. RTK FIX provides API functionality for integrating RTK provisioning and connection management into external hardware, software and business workflows. This can help manufacturers, software developers, network providers and equipment suppliers automate processes that would otherwise require manually creating or managing NTRIP access.

RTK FIX supports third-party integrations and API-based workflows that can be used to connect RTK management with other business systems, including CRM, ERP and accounting environments. The exact integration depends on the external system and the workflow that needs to be automated.

The RTK FIX white-label platform allows RTK network providers, GNSS manufacturers, hardware resellers and dealers to offer RTK services through their own branded environment. The platform can combine network access, customer management, subscriptions, NTRIP credentials and device management while presenting the service under the organisation's own brand.
