For surveying companies

RTK corrections for surveying and cadastral field crews

Deliver corrections from your own base stations to multiple rover crews, issue separate credentials, and manage connections from one control panel.

  • Separate access for every rover
  • Mountpoints organized by base and project
  • One control panel for all field crews

Example architecture

Two bases, three crews, one control layer

Crew 1 · 2 rovers

Crew 2 · 2 rovers

Crew 3 · 2 rovers

Every correction stream and rover has a clear assignment. An administrator can change one device without disrupting every other field crew.

Important: YouCORS delivers corrections from your base stations to your rovers and applications. It does not sell access to a third-party RTK network or generate corrections without a source.

When to change the setup

Shared credentials and manual configuration stop scaling with the team

As the number of bases, rovers, and projects grows, it becomes harder to know who is using each stream and how to change access safely.

!

One password for the whole company

Changing a shared password interrupts every employee and device at the same time.

!

One rover cannot be revoked

A lost device or former contractor can retain access through shared credentials.

!

Crews choose the wrong base

Unclear stream names increase the chance of selecting the wrong mountpoint in the field.

!

Projects become mixed

The same credentials are reused across clients, territories, and field crews.

!

No connection overview

Managers cannot see which rovers and crews are using the infrastructure right now.

!

Every change is manual

Moving a server or source turns into reconfiguring a large fleet of devices.

The operating model

From your base station to a specific rover

Build infrastructure around real bases, projects, crews, and devices instead of anonymous shared access.

  1. 1

    Bases publish RTCM

    Your own base stations send correction streams over the internet.

  2. 2

    Streams are separated

    Create a clearly named mountpoint for every base or project.

  3. 3

    Rovers receive clients

    Issue separate NTRIP credentials to every field device.

  4. 4

    Crews receive access

    Users and groups see only the streams required for their work.

  5. 5

    Administrators stay in control

    Manage infrastructure and connections from a single control panel.

Use cases

One infrastructure layer for different field operations

Organize access around your company structure, operating regions, and project timelines.

Permanent field crews

Assign rovers and correction streams to internal teams.

Temporary contractors

Issue separate credentials and revoke them when the job is complete.

Cadastral regions

Separate bases and mountpoints by the territory where work is performed.

Multiple client projects

Keep devices and credentials for different clients separate.

Backup base

Prepare an alternative source while the primary base is under maintenance.

Distributed offices

Manage connections for multiple branches from one place.

Operational control

Know who is connected, where they work, and which stream they use

Managed access reduces dependence on shared passwords and manual coordination between office and field teams.

  • Separate credentials

    Changing one rover's access does not affect every other device.

  • Clear ownership

    Connect each rover, employee, project, and correction stream.

  • Targeted revocation

    Disable a specific contractor or device without a global reset.

  • Consistent naming

    Use one naming convention for bases and mountpoints.

  • Scalable operations

    Add crews without deploying a separate caster for every team.

  • Fewer manual requests

    Reduce scattered settings and repeated support work.

Example configuration

3 bases, 12 rovers, and 4 field crews

Each base receives its own mountpoint, every rover receives separate credentials, and crews are grouped by territory or project.

This is an architecture example, not a universal sizing rule. The final setup depends on operating geography, equipment, RTCM format, and redundancy requirements.

Phased rollout

Start with one base and one test rover

Validate the complete correction path in a pilot before moving every field crew.

  1. Step 1

    List your current bases, rovers, crews, and projects.

  2. Step 2

    Select an appropriate server region.

  3. Step 3

    Create the caster and clearly named mountpoints.

  4. Step 4

    Connect one test base station.

  5. Step 5

    Issue credentials to one test rover.

  6. Step 6

    Validate the complete workflow in the field.

  7. Step 7

    Move the remaining crews in controlled stages.

Frequently asked questions

Before launching your RTK infrastructure

Does YouCORS provide ready-to-use RTK corrections?

No. YouCORS deploys and manages NTRIP infrastructure that delivers streams from your own base stations or another configured correction source.

Can multiple rovers connect to one base?

Yes. One base can publish a stream to a mountpoint and multiple authorized NTRIP clients can consume it concurrently within the selected server configuration.

Can we use GNSS receivers from different manufacturers?

Yes, when the equipment supports compatible NTRIP versions and RTCM messages. Test one base and one rover from each configuration before a large rollout.

How do we give temporary access to a contractor?

Create a separate client for the device or contractor and set an expiration date. It can be revoked without changing every other rover.

Do we need a separate caster for every project?

Not necessarily. Projects can be separated through mountpoints, clients, users, and groups within managed infrastructure.

What if our crews work in different regions?

Map the locations of bases and users first, then select a server region and stream structure. Remote areas may require additional base stations or separate infrastructure decisions.

Discuss your configuration
