What is RTK?
Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) is a technique used to enhance the precision of position data derived from satellite-based positioning systems (global navigation satellite systems, GNSS) such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, NavIC and BeiDou.
Midwest Machinery has invested in a robust network of RTK towers covering much of Minnesota. Midwest Machinery owns, maintains and supports the system, which lowers the investment cost for growers. RTK utilizes a local, ground-based reference station that transmits the high-accuracy, 1-inch corrections to a machine StarFire receiver via RTK radios. Due to the proximity of the base station to the machine, all satellite drift is eliminated, and the position is repeatable.
