Reference Point with Radio Link
A planned farm reference point combined with local radio correction delivery for difficult coverage areas.
This concept combines a surveyed VKLink reference point with a radio path to nearby machinery. It is intended for farms that need a short correction baseline but cannot rely on mobile coverage across the working area.
Planned application
- Surveyed fixed GNSS reference point.
- Short local correction baseline.
- Internet link from the reference point to the VKLink network.
- Local radio delivery to machinery in weak mobile coverage.
- Site-specific antenna and radio design.
Network processing
Like the standard VKLink reference point, the fixed unit supplies raw satellite observations to the VKLink network for processing rather than acting as an unmanaged standalone base.
Current status
The integrated radio version is under development. The final equipment, frequencies and installation method will depend on the property and receiver fleet.
