Q
What is the Geobee30 system?
A

The Tersus GeoBee30 is a dedicated and cost-effective solution to establish a permanent reference station, to build the CORS network system.

Q
What is the CORS system?
A

The CORS (Continuously Operating Reference Station) system is a network of multiple fixed GNSS reference stations that provide real-time differential positioning services to improve the accuracy and reliability of GNSS positioning.

Q
How does the CORS system work?
A

The CORS system monitors changes in satellite signals, calculates and publishes differential correction data in real time for users' GNSS receivers to improve positioning accuracy.

Q
Is the Geobee30 compatible with other network softwares?
A

This geobee30 system can be connected to Tersus GeoCaster or PNW software for maximum functionality. It can also be connected to third-party software that accept observations in the industry-standard format of RTCM version.

Q
Can other brand reference GNSS receiver be added to Tersus PNW for network solution?
A

Yes, as long as other brand receivers broadcast industry-standard RTCM data or some public correction formats, they can also be accessed and networked.

Q
What is GeoCaster and PNW software
A

GeoCaster software is the common solution and low-cost solution, Tersus operates and maintains the cloud servers and we allow our dealers to use it for free.

It has a WebUI for dealers to manage the reference stations and the users account.

It is a one-stop service, because Tersus will maintain the server and update the GeoCaster software when needed.

The Nearest Base function is also available.

 

PNW is a powerful network RTK management and positioning service software system. The receiver data receiving module connects the observation data of the base stations to this system. Then, through decoding raw observation data, static baseline calculation, regional error correction calculation and coding, generating the virtual reference stations, etc., the system broadcasts network RTK corrections. At the same time, it has monitoring modules such as ionospheric monitoring (long and short term), single receiver quality data analysis, and other functional modules such as raw data storage and RINEX data storage.

Q
How to select the base station for the CORS system?
A

The base station should be located in an open, unobstructed area to ensure good satellite signal reception and reduce multipath effects.

Q
Do I have to visit the site if I need to configure parameters or restart the Geobee30 reference station?
A

No, you do not need to go to the site. As long as the power supply and network are functioning properly, our Geobee30 system supports remote control. You can configure reference stations from hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away.
