GPS and RTK Advantages Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite positioning system designed and operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS satellites broadcast radio signals with their position, precise timing and other information to GPS receivers on the ground. The GPS receiver uses the radio signals from several satellites to compute its exact location in three dimensions. Because it uses GPS satellite signals, the Trimble family of GPS receivers is well suited to work anywhere that has a clear line of sight to the sky. Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS delivers centimeter level (0.03 ft) accuracy even when you re on the move making it well suited to on vehicle or machine operations. RTK GPS technology can provide accurate positions at long distances from the base station, so most construction sites are covered from a single daily setup location. nd SPS880 Smart GPS AntennaS Smart GPS Antenna versus Modular GPS Receiver The Smart GPS Antenna concept gives you everything you need in one single unit. The GPS antenna, GPS receiver, radio, radio antenna, and battery are assembled in one housing, eliminating the need for cables or external components. This receiver system allows fast daily setups as a base station, and is your ideal configuration for rover systems mounted on a rod or supervisor vehicle. The Modular GPS Receiver concept provides the flexibility to configure your receiver system differently each day. Security is a key concern on larger, long-term projects. The modular receiver lets you leave the receiver and radio in the site trailer secured, while only the antennas are on the roof of the trailer exposed to the environment. The modular receiver can be used as either a base station or a rover, giving the contractor total fleet flexibility.
