Introducing SmartNet-UK, the first Leica Geosystems commercial network RTK correction service
Burbidge, Mark
On 20th December 2005 at Ordnance Survey HQ, Leica Geosystems were pleased to announce that they are the first organisation to market and offer a commercial delivery of a GPS network solution across Great Britain, in partnership with the Ordnance Survey. This paper describes further the benefits of using the SmartNet correction service, with the latest RTCM 3.1 Network RTK messages. The reference station infrastructure is currently built on 96 stations, mainly from the Ordnance Survey reference station feed (OSNet), but supplemented with additional stations via Survey Association members, Universityys and Leica Geosystems UK. Nottingham University IESSG is also undertaking independent monitoring and integrity checking, to validate the user experiencee. The Network RTK process is based on state-of-the-art Leica GPS Spider software with the latest RTCM 3.1 Network RTK messages. These messages are based on the Master Auxiliary Concept first published in 2001, jointly by Leica Geosystems and GEO++.
