Key Features of D-RTK 2 Mobile Station

1. Simultaneous Multi-GNSS Compatibility for Extreme Accuracy

The D-RTK 2 Mobile Station is designed to work with all major satellite systems at the same time, including GPS (L1 C/A, L2, L5), BEIDOU (B1, B2, B3), GLONASS (F1, F2), and Galileo (E1, E5A, E5B). This means it doesn’t depend on just one system for satellite positioning—it connects to many satellites together, which makes the accuracy far more stable and reliable, especially in areas with weak signals or obstructions like trees, buildings, or hills. This multi-constellation support ensures that your drone always gets the best and most accurate location data, reducing signal drops and improving mission performance in all types of environments—from urban cities to wide farmlands.

2. Centimeter-Level RTK Precision for Professional Surveying

One of the biggest highlights of this station is its Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning ability. While normal GNSS receivers give accuracy within 1 to 3 meters, this advanced system can achieve horizontal positioning accuracy as tight as 1 cm plus 1 ppm (parts per million), and vertical accuracy of 2 cm plus 1 ppm. This means that even when you are flying 1 kilometer away, the station still maintains sub-centimeter accuracy by accounting for the distance in its calculations. This level of precision is critical for professional applications like surveying, precision agriculture, mapping, and infrastructure inspection where every centimeter matters.

3. Superfast Satellite Acquisition and High Update Rates

Time is money, and this device knows that well. The cold start time is less than 45 seconds, which means you can turn it on and be operational very quickly, even if the system hasn’t been used for a while. In hot start mode, it connects in under 10 seconds. If you lose signal during flight, it can recapture satellites in less than 1 second. Plus, it supports update rates at multiple speeds—1 Hz, 2 Hz, 5 Hz, 10 Hz, and up to 20 Hz—which makes it suitable for both low-speed and high-speed applications. Whether your drone is flying slowly for crop scanning or zipping through long mapping routes, the station keeps up with rapid position updates in real time.

4. Built-In IMU Sensor for Tilt Compensation and Better Leveling

The D-RTK 2 includes a high-precision 6-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), which is a very important sensor used to detect the movement and orientation of the device. Thanks to this IMU, the station can measure the slope or tilt of the surface it is placed on. It also supports electronic bubble leveling, so you don’t need a physical leveler anymore. You get instant feedback on whether the tripod is standing straight, which helps you save time during setup and ensures better accuracy during data collection. It also enhances safety by warning you if the station tilts too much due to wind or unstable ground.
