Best Location for Your Station

Why Site Selection Matters?

The GNSS signal travels from the GNSS satellite around 20,000km away, and arrives in GNSS receivers (Base Stations) with very weak power. The GNSS signal can be easily affected by its surroundings. To maintain a decent quality GNSS network, the GNSS antenna should be installed with an open-sky view without any obstructions. Any negative factors will result in bad GNSS signal quality. Obstructions and multipath interference from over-hanging trees will result in poor GNSS signal quality further. In the backend system, GEODNET monitors the GNSS signal quality and issue GEOD tokens based on the GNSS signal quality.

Best Practice for Station Installation

Always deploy the station antenna with a clear sky view following the 10-degree elevation angle rule and maintain stable power and Internet at the location!

Antenna Placement Ensure a clear sky view – no obstructions within 10° of the horizon. Keep the antenna perfectly vertical - 90°. Power & Internet Use stable power and a reliable Internet connection.
