In an earlier Tech Chat, we explained how to set up the S20 smart antenna to output RTCM correction data as a base station. In this blog, we expand on that topic by introducing additional serial port commands—such as entering SBAS mode and adjusting receiver configurations—giving you more flexibility when working with the S20.

In traditional GNSS workflows, setting up a network base station normally requires inserting a SIM card into the receiver. This often means users must prepare an extra SIM card solely for base-station usage while ensuring the receiver has a built-in GSM function.

In our previous post, "Tech Chat | Mastering Laser Surveying with Orion ONE", we introduced how Orion ONE performs laser surveying using direct eye-based aiming.

When working with GNSS receivers in real-world surveying, coordinate systems are often the first source of confusion—especially when switching between latitude/longitude and projected systems. To make GNSS coordinates practical for engineering calculations, we often use a map projection to convert the curved surface of the Earth into a flat, grid-based system.

When operating in built-in radio mode, some users complete all configuration steps but still find the rover cannot obtain a Fixed solution. This post explains the most common causes of this issue and provides a step-by-step checklist to troubleshoot and restore RTK Fix performance.

In some surveying tasks, users may need to set up a network base station for flexible data transmission to multiple rovers. For Z1 Series receivers without a built-in 4G module, one might wonder — is it still possible to operate as a network base?
