Examining the Accuracy of Network RTK and Long Base RTK Methods with Repetitive Measurements

Table 1

Comparison of 3 RTK methods [18].

	Traditional RTK	Long base RTK	Network RTK
Reduces startup costs to purchase an RTK system	Low	Low	High
Quickly setup and start surveying	Slow	Fast	Fast
License fee for UHF radios	Yes	No	No
Fee for communications	No	Yes	Yes
Distance to base	5-10 km	50-100 km	50-100 km
Distance-dependent errors	High	Investigated in this study	Low
