General positioning or row-crop guidance to within 1 inch. CornerPost's unique RTK guidance system can increase the position accuracy over the DGPS signal alone by factoring in a correction calculation from a second CornerPost receiver broadcasting data from a known, fixed postion.

The Satloc CornerPost receiver provides precise positioning for many applications, and row spacing guidance to within 1 inch between each pass.

CornerPost consists of a base and rover receiver and accompanying GPS antennas. Each base and rover receiver consists of:

• 12-channel GPS engine
• WAAS receiver
• 900 MHz modem data radio

Use CornerPost with Satloc’s LiteStar II, SwathStar M3, and many other manufacturers’ components.

How It Works
CornerPost uses Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS. In RTK, two GPS receivers exchange information and fine-tune positions. One of the receivers has a known, fixed position - the Base receiver. The other receiver may be in an unknown position - the Rover receiver. The Base receiver broadcasts GPS correction data from its stationary location to a moving Rover receiver. The Rover receiver uses these corrections to improve its overall accuracy to less than 1 inch.

Features & Benefits

• Precise positioning and row-crop guidance - CornerPost provides position accuracy to within 1 inch, and so is ideal for use with row crops.
• Low-cost, integrated design - CornerPost RTK is a portable, affordable solution for high-precision applications, such as row crop farming.
• Simple setup and operation - select a high area with an unobstructed view of the sky and within a 2 - 5 mile, line-of-sight radius of the field to install the Base antenna. Attach the rover receiver to your vehicle. Start up the receivers from a stationary position. If both GPS antennas are in a saved location, start-up time is less than 1 minute; if not, start-up may take 5 minutes for the Base and 15 minutes for the Rover to initialize the signal. You’re ready to go!
• Ruggedized and reliable - dust, water, vibration, and shock resistant. The radio provides superior interference rejection by hopping from one frequency to another and features a 3-mile line of site operating range.
