Network Operations
A typical VRS system
Differential GNSS (e.g.
RTK) Differencing eliminates
(or at least reduces) all
systematic error
sources
The Errors
Traditional RTK Differential Methods
Trimble CenterPoint RTX™ (via Satellite)
Orbiting
GNSS Satellites
Geo-stationary

Trimble RTX Technology (global)
Absolute positioning
ITRF2008
Modeling errors instead
of mitigating them by
differencing
– Satellite orbit
– Satellite clock
– Atmospheric effects
GPS,GLONASS & QZSS
The Errors
Trimble RTX Technology, a new error mitigation approach. Different method. Same result.
Backbone technology spawning many new
products

RTX Post-processing service
Data files need to follow the following:
• Data must be a minimum 1 hour in length but cannot exceed 24 hours
• Data files can only be static
• Data files need to contain duel frequency observations (L1/L2)
• Data must have been collected after 14 May 2011
CenterPoint RTX Service
• Real-time service
• Near-global satellite delivery
• Available on select Ag receivers today
Horizontal Accuracy Delivery Convergence Time
<1.5” / 3.8 cm
Standard Initialization:
<30 minutes
Positioning anytime, anywhere in the world at centimeter level!
CenterPoint RTX Positioning Results Real-time Results - 24 hours, 2D RMS: 1.4 cm
RTX vs. Short-baseline RTK
Complementary services
• VRS / RTK technology
– Local data • Strong tropospheric data
• Rapid convergence
– Terrestrial comms • Cellular connections widely
available in urban areas
• Ground-based line-of-sight
