High-Precision PPP/RTK Multifunctional Station for Drones
Professional-grade capabilities designed for demanding surveying and mapping applications
Supports PPP, RTK, and PPK workflows and can operate as either a base station or a rover. Compatible with both traditional RTK base/rover operations and infrastructure-free PPP-based deployment.
UAV Mate obtains base coordinates with 1.5 cm horizontal and 3 cm vertical accuracy, referenced to ITRF2020 (current epoch).
Real-time PPP corrections via satellite link deliver consistent global coordinates wherever you set up.
When set to Base mode, UAV Mate streams corrections directly to your UAV remote controller over a private Wi-Fi hotspot.
A local and secure connection that works without CORS, UHF, or cellular networks.
Beyond base use, UAV Mate functions as a rover for GCP collection.
With PPP service, it eliminates dependence on local base stations, CORS networks, UHF radios, or cellular connections — ideal for remote operations.
Up to 10 hours of operation on a single charge, supporting extended survey flights and long field sessions.
Built-in 7000mAh battery with fast charging support (15W max). Rechargeable and compatible with external power sources via USB-C.
Built-in UHF radio (410-470MHz) and 4G cellular module (SIM supported) enable traditional RTK base–rover links.
Supports NTRIP and remote PPP services for flexible field deployment.
8 GB internal memory records raw GNSS data for PPK workflows.
Logs data in RINEX format, enabling flexible post-processing and compatibility with standard GNSS software.
IP68-rated enclosure protects against dust and water immersion.
Operates from −40°C to +70°C and survives 2m pole drops onto concrete, optimized for harsh field environments.
Infrastructure-free positioning solutions powered by satellite-based PPP technology — no base station, no CORS, no cellular network required
Deploy in deserts, mountains, oceans, or any location without network coverage. PPP satellite corrections provide centimeter-level accuracy globally with no infrastructure dependency.
Set up a PPP-enabled base station anywhere in minutes. Stream RTK corrections to your drone via Wi-Fi hotspot — no UHF radio or cellular network needed for the correction link.
Collect Ground Control Points with 1.5cm horizontal accuracy using PPP rover mode. Ideal for photogrammetry calibration in areas without local benchmarks or CORS access.
Enable autonomous tractor guidance and variable rate application with consistent global coordinates. Works on farmlands without cellular coverage or CORS infrastructure.
Establish a unified coordinate system across multiple project sites worldwide using ITRF2020 reference frame. Eliminate coordinate transformation errors between different local systems.
Rapidly deploy high-precision positioning in disaster zones where infrastructure is damaged. PPP provides immediate centimeter-level coordinates without any ground-based support.
