Juniper RTK Accuracy: How do I know what I am getting?

Juniper RTK improves GNSS accuracy from several meters down to centimeter-level accuracy. Your achievable accuracy depends on your distance from a network of global base stations.

Your proximity to an RTK Base Station

• Within 50 km—Juniper RTK automatically connects directly to the base station nearest your current position. With a direct connection, you can achieve centimeter-level accuracy (~2 cm).

• Beyond 50 km—Juniper RTK automatically applies a virtual RTK solution by triangulating multiple base stations. With a virtual RTK solution, less than 10 cm level accuracy is possible.

• To see the RTK base station nearest your location, look at a map (link). If you are within 50 km, you can expect ~2cm accuracy. If you are further than 50km away from the nearest base station, you can expect accuracy of less than 10 cm.

View your accuracy in your software

• Uinta and Juniper Connect have indicators. (Add examples from software. Ask Alex and Connor. OS are slightly different)

• Correction source. The type of corrections applied to your GNSS receiver will determine the best achievable accuracy available.

  • RTK Fix. Connected directly to base station. Best possible accuracy.

  • RTK Float. Connected to virtual RTK solution. Accuracy less than 10 cm.

  • SBAS. Satellite fix with Satellite Based Augmentation System. Submeter accuracy typical.

  • Autonomous. No corrections applied. Accuracy depends on GNSS receiver.

• Accuracy Stats. EHE (Estimated Horizontal Error) indicates your current GNSS receiver accuracy. Additional GNSS receiver stats are also visible within the apps.
