Products

Geodetics' products address the needs of a wide range of precision GPS applications from accurate real-time positioning and navigation of military aircraft performing high G maneuvers, to wide-area reference network management systems for monitoring hundreds of GPS sensors in areas of high geological activity for public safety.

Geodetics customers have successfully deployed the products in many static and dynamic applications including surveying, deformation monitoring, mapping, airborne navigation, wireless and hand-held applications, fleet tracking, machine control and a range of military applications.

Static Positioning

Geodetics' RTD-Net and RTD-L1 products are designed for static positioning and monitoring applications. In static positioning all the GPS antennas are stationary, and one or more of them, known as reference stations or base stations, have locations (coordinates) which are accurately known in advance.  These reference stations, together with their prior coordinates, impose the coordinate system in which all other stations are positioned. 

Dynamic and Kinematic Positioning

Geodetics' RTD-Pro, RTD-Rover, RTD-Guest and Vector products are designed for kinematic and dynamic applications, where several or all stations are moving.

In kinematic positioning, one or more base (reference) stations are static with coordinates that are known in advance, but all other stations are free to move. These rover stations are positioned relative to the base station (or base stations).

In Dynamic positioning, none of the stations are static.  Accordingly, no coordinates are available a priori for any station. The relative positions of these stations are obtained by combining the phase and code observations from all stations simultaneously.
