Advanced RTK Technology for High-Precision Tracking — Meitrack Solutions

May 19, 2025

RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) positioning is a cutting-edge technology that delivers centimeter-level accuracy in location data. Its wide-ranging applications span sports events, agriculture, engineering, and construction. With extensive experience across diverse industries, Meitrack offers robust RTK solutions tailored to meet high-precision tracking needs.

Application Scenarios

Agriculture:

RTK technology plays a vital role in precision agriculture by enabling accurate field mapping, crop yield measurement, and automated guidance of tractors and agricultural machinery. This enhances productivity while reducing input costs like fertilizers.

Construction:

In construction, RTK ensures structures are built to exact design specifications. It supports precise guidance of heavy equipment such as excavators and bulldozers, and is widely used for site surveys and structural inspections.

Search and Rescue:

RTK is highly effective in search and rescue operations, particularly in remote or rugged environments, where it provides real-time, centimeter-level positioning for accurate tracking and location of individuals.

What Is RTK Technology?

RTK positioning is a technology that provides extremely accurate location data by combining GPS signals with data from a local differential base station. Unlike traditional GPS systems that rely solely on satellite signals, RTK systems enhance positioning accuracy by using differential data from nearby base stations—achieving centimeter-level precision, which opens up a wide range of application opportunities.

Common Application Scenarios:

How Does an RTK Tracker Work?

RTK trackers rely not only on satellite signals but also on local base stations. The tracking system compares the position data received by the differential base station and the mobile unit, and corrects any deviation in the positioning data to achieve high-precision location information.

The basic components of an RTK tracker include a GPS receiver, a local base station, and a data link between the two. The GPS receiver is typically installed on vehicles or other mobile objects and receives data from GPS satellites.
