Precision RTK.
Built for work.
Priced for farms.

Your base becomes a local correction source on your own farm, close to the land where your machinery actually works. It is not an isolated box, though: it also joins the wider RTK Solutions network.

Base owners receive access to the other available bases across the network. When a machine travels away from home, it can use another suitable RTK Solutions base where coverage is available.

VRS and network services from providers such as John Deere and PTx Trimble are useful, particularly when machinery is working a long way from its home farm.

However, a correctly surveyed physical base close to the machine creates a very short correction baseline. That generally reduces distance-related atmospheric errors and can provide excellent local accuracy and repeatability.

We believe the strongest system combines both: a high-quality base close to your normal work and a shared network for travel beyond it.

Our farm-base setup is designed for effectively indefinite repeatability, with a maintained local reference that accounts for tectonic plate movement. A stable antenna installation, consistent reference coordinates, saved guidance and machine calibration remain essential. How long-term repeatability works →

Because every properly installed base adds coverage, overlap and resilience.

If farms across the country each operated a high-quality base through one shared network, tractors would often be much closer to a real reference station. Overlapping coverage would also give the network more options if any individual base or connection became unavailable.

• Shorter distances to physical correction sources
• Better overlap between neighbouring bases
• More resilient coverage when equipment travels

Yes. We select quality components, assemble and test the base in the UK, and support it as a long-term investment in your farm’s precision guidance.

Repairability protects that investment. Serviceable components and available spare parts allow the base to be maintained and upgraded over time, without replacing the complete system. We help identify the correct part and provide guidance; more involved work can be handled by us.

You own a high-quality system with a route to future servicing and upgrades, rather than a throwaway item.

Our base stations are designed, assembled and tested in the UK, then remotely configured after installation and calibrated against the Ordnance Survey network.

Wherever practical, major electronic components are selected from established British manufacturers. Where a suitable British-made component is not available, we move to established European and North American manufacturers.

Parts are chosen for performance, reliability, manufacturer support and suitability for continuous operation — not simply because they are the cheapest option.

The included Power over Ethernet adapter powers the base from a suitable mains connection. Internet can be provided through Ethernet or Wi-Fi, while the internal battery and integrated 4G connection provide backup.

With the parts and cable route prepared, a normal installation can be completed in around one to two hours. With experience and everything ready beforehand, the physical installation can be brought down to around 40 minutes.

You do not need to build or configure your own NTRIP server, caster or correction stream.

The correction service runs across multiple geographically separated servers with automatic failover.

If the primary server becomes unavailable, the standby server is designed to take over automatically. It does not depend on somebody noticing the outage and manually switching it over.

A backup is only useful if it is ready when you need it.

We developed our own RTK management software and customer portal because we did not think customers should have to telephone their provider every time they add a tractor or want to check a problem.

From a phone, tablet or computer you can:

As far as we are aware, that level of self-service control is unusual in agricultural RTK. It gives customers a modern, direct way to manage their own system while still having support when it is needed.

Over the last 10–15 years, NTRIP has changed how RTK corrections can be distributed. Traditional radio RTK needed costly radio hardware, licences, repeaters and proprietary infrastructure. Internet delivery removes much of that complexity.

Yet some pricing structures still resemble the old radio-RTK era, with a substantial subscription charged separately for every tractor.

We did not think the commercial model had kept pace with the technology. RTK Solutions was created to provide:

Our aim is to make dependable high-accuracy guidance practical for farms of every size, not only those able to absorb several separate annual subscriptions.

Our system uses recognised standards including NTRIP and RTCM rather than being built exclusively around one tractor manufacturer.

That makes it particularly useful for mixed fleets. The tractor, combine and sprayer may all be different makes, and those machines may change several times during the working life of the base.

Compatibility still depends on the machine having a suitable RTK-ready receiver, the required manufacturer unlocks and an NTRIP internet connection. We check this before supply.

An industrial GNSS module provides multi-frequency satellite measurements for modern agricultural positioning.

We check your receiver, correction format, required unlocks and connectivity before recommending a setup. Suitable tractors, drones and other GNSS equipment can use compatible NTRIP RTK corrections.

Our integrated software, ongoing support and serviceable hardware provide a route to future updates and upgrades as your requirements develop.

A precision RTK system is more than a satellite receiver. The quality comes from how the hardware, software, calibration, connectivity and support work together.

For £2,995 + VAT including the first year, our managed package brings together a UK-built base station, remote configuration and calibration, backup power and connectivity, customer portal access and the wider RTK Solutions network.

From year two, £199 + VAT per year covers managed network access for your farm base and multiple compatible machines, with monitoring, updates and support. You retain ownership of a serviceable system built for long-term value.
