Problem
The fragmentation of global GNSS correction networks and the complexity of achieving inter-provider compatibility create significant operational hurdles for fleets requiring consistent, high-precision positioning. This lack of seamless integration limits scalability and increases the cost and effort associated with expanding operations into new geographical areas.
Solution
Stargate RTK provides a unified platform for accessing GNSS correction services, transforming disparate RTK infrastructure into a universal, borderless service. The system enables centimeter-level positioning accuracy by aggregating existing public and private GNSS reference stations, ensuring reliable coverage and compatibility across various providers and receiver types. This approach simplifies fleet management and deployment, allowing for rapid integration and sustained operational efficiency regardless of location. Stargate RTK facilitates adaptive asset reapplication and redundancy through dense coverage, streamlining the process of obtaining precise positioning data.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes GNSS manufacturers, GNSS integrators, fleet operators, and professional users in sectors such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, drone operations, and outdoor mapping applications that require precise, real-time location data.
