Is RTK-Net a “cooperative” of reference stations owned by different entities and then managed by Loyola Spatial Systems?
No. RTK-Net is wholly owned and operated by Loyola Spatial Systems. Being wholly owned enables us to properly install, manage the network, keep the latest technology in place and expand the network more efficiently. The cooperative network model does not provide the integrity and operational reliability needed for a professional, commercial service. Consider these factors about a GPS network that is comprised of GPS reference stations owned by several entities: How a Cooperative GPS Network is Established: Generally, a cooperative GPS network is established by a local GPS vendor. Instead of purchasing the reference stations themselves, the vendor will sell the reference stations to customers. The customer may be a private or public entity. The customer is typically responsible for the installation, operation, upgrades and maintenance of the reference station. The vendor will generally operate the control software for the network. The customer provides a data stream to the GPS vendor’s
