GNSS Frequency Bands Explained
Most surveyors know their RTK system delivers centimeter-level accuracy. Fewer know exactly what’s happening in the radio spectrum to make that possible. Your GNSS receiver

Your phone’s GPS knows roughly where you are. It might place you on the right street, maybe even the right block. But for a land
Most surveyors have argued about this at some point on a job site, usually when a radio link drops mid-traverse or a drone pilot is
Every coordinate your GNSS receiver calculates starts with a signal traveling from space at the speed of light. That signal carries precise timing information encoded
Your rover just lost RTK fix under a bridge overpass, and your layout points are 200 feet down the roadway. GNSS can’t see satellites through
Most surveyors and contractors assume RTK base stations are heavy, expensive boxes that need truck beds and permanent mounts. That assumption costs time and limits
GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite System, and it’s the umbrella term for all satellite positioning networks. GPS is just one piece of it, the
Most surveyors know GPS equipment has replaced chains and tape measures, but figuring out which GPS unit actually fits your work isn’t straightforward. The terminology
If you’ve been around surveying or construction long enough, you’ve probably heard the term surveying transit. The modern GNSS and RTK systems dominate most workflows
