NTRIP is the most efficient protocol for broadcasting data over Internet Protocol (IP) from a network of stations to a large number of rovers.

Yes. With Z-Max.Net using these new technologies, surveyors integrate seamlessly into RTK networks, get more efficient data transmission and at the same time reduce operational costs. The first RTK network / correction service providers are introducing this new method and it is sure to become more and more widespread over the coming years. Z-Max.Net includes these new features in the most flexible way: See similar questions...
