CORSnet-NSW and Construction

Fast Facts

CORSnet-NSW replaces the need for your own base station and will work as you move from site to site.
Without a base station needed at each site, construction plant can be deployed more efficiently to maximise productivity.
Correction data is delivered via mobile internet with radios and radio licencing only necessary to extend mobile reception.
CORSnet-NSW already supports GPS and GLONASS, with most sites GALILEO ready.
Roaming solutions, such as nearest base and Network RTK solutions, mean the same settings can be used anywhere within the CORSnet-NSW network.

Site specific subscriptions can be used for long term construction sites.
For equipment that moves from site to site, a premium subscription should be used.
If many subscriptions are required for a large construction fleet, bulk subscription discounts may apply.

Contact your preferred Authorised Reseller to purchase a subscription. If your equipment supplier isn't listed as an Authorised Reseller, contact CORSnet-NSW Customer Support.

Where are the sites? The latest coverage map is available on our Network Information page. The live status of every CORS is also available on our web portal.
What accuracy can I get? Anywhere where Network RTK coverage is available should provide accuracies at the 2cm level. Single base RTK will also provide this accuracy within about 20km from the base. Single base RTK accuracy will reduce the further you are from the site and 50km can be considered a typical limit for RTK solutions. Sub-metre solutions are available state-wide although 150km distance from a base is provided as an indicative figure on our coverage map.
What if I can't get mobile reception everywhere on my property? Our users report that reception is much better than they expected. They can access CORS data in places that they cannot make a phone call. Telstra, Optus and Vodafone provide coverage maps on their websites. To improve reception, an external antenna or a radio bridge can be used.
