Middlesex County, Ontario | You need an NTRIP Caster on the base end, and an NTRIP Client on the tractor end. You also need an NTRIP server somewhere which you will probably setup on the base end.
The caster and server can be on the same piece of technology. You will need a static IP which will probably cost you an additional $10 a month from your Internet provider. Some Trimble Bases can do this and plug directly into your internet. Others will have a serial connection which can go into a computer.
The Client can be an Android app running on a smartphone. You can connect your smartphone to the FM1000 using a serial-bluetooth adaptor. You could also get a cellular Internet hub to permanently install into the tractor (they generally have a much better antenna, external antennas), this would give you wi-fi in the tractor and you can connect your phone to that.
Lefebure has software for all sides of this. I've experimented using a Raven antenna/receiver with a serial connection but I can't get the Server part to work. |
