Switch Positioning Mode

RTK Link Mode refers to the method of connection between an RTK reference station and a robot. We will introduce two modes in this page: Antenna over Datalink and Antenna over Internet. 

Antenna over Internet

Antenna over Internet utilizes the internet for data communication between the RTK reference station and the robot. It significantly expands the range of RTK applications, enabling operation over large geographical areas.
