Why set up base station sites

Why are base stations important?

Base stations serve as the backbone for improving the precision of GNSS and GPS technologies. By acting as fixed reference points, they significantly reduce the margin of error in location data provided by orbiting GNSS satellites.

Why are base stations important in cellular communication?

Base stations are important in the cellular communication as it facilitate seamless communication between mobile devices and the network communication. The demand for efficient data transmission are increased as we are advancing towards new technologies such as 5G and other data intensive applications.

What is a base station in land surveying?

In the context of external land surveying, a base station is a GPS receiver at an accurately-known fixed location which is used to derive correction information for nearby portable GPS receivers.

What makes a good base station?

The heart of a base station is a high-quality GNSS receiver capable of tracking signals from multiple constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, etc.) across a wide range of channels. A multi-channel receiver offers enhanced signal reception and processing, crucial for maximising accuracy. Rugged and weatherproof design.

What is the base station setup process?

The base station setup process remembers how the previous setup was made. It automatically reconnects the components, selects the appropriate radio frequency or network number used previously, and then automatically starts to transmit GNSS corrections.

How do base stations work?

Base stations are generally set on tripods to ensure a stable platform. They are then placed over either a known of unknown point. With the use of a tribrach, you can accurately place the unit over a target on the ground while keeping the antenna level. The Hemisphere S631 is pictured here.
