mettatec X5 User manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the user manual for the Standalone module, PPK Base y rover , RTK Lora Base y rover and RTK NTRIP Base y rover GNSS receivers. This manual details various operation modes including Standalone, PPK, RTK with Lora and NTRIP connections. Feel free to ask me any questions about the configuration, features or operation of these devices.
  • What is the range of the LoRa connection for RTK corrections?
    What is required to improve the accuracy of a position using PPK mode?
    What is the difference between RTK Lora and RTK NTRIP modes?
PPK Base y rover RTK NTRIP Base y rover
RTK Lora Base y roverStandalone module
Independent device without receiving
corrections from an external source.
Suitable for applications where the required
accuracy is relatively low.
Data collected from the receiver is later
processed to improve the position
accuracy. The use of a GNSS data
processing software is required.
The base station transmits correction
data in real-time to the receiver through
a LoRa connection with a range of up to
10 km (sight line) at 433/915 MHz.
The base station transmits correction
data in real-time to the receiver
through Internet connection with
much greater range
