When accuracy, reliability and productivity are critical to your operation, having access to a dependable GNSS correction service can make all the difference.
SmartNet Australia is one of the country’s most trusted RTK correction networks, providing surveyors, civil contractors, mining companies and machine control operators with real-time GNSS corrections designed to deliver centimetre-level positioning accuracy.
Whether you’re performing boundary surveys, setting out construction projects, operating machine control systems or collecting high-precision spatial data, SmartNet helps ensure your equipment performs at its best.
What Is SmartNet Australia?
SmartNet is a Network RTK correction service that uses a nationwide network of continuously operating reference stations (CORS) to deliver real-time GNSS corrections via the internet.
Rather than relying on a single local base station, SmartNet creates a Virtual Reference Station (VRS) near your location. This allows users to achieve highly accurate positioning while benefiting from a stable and reliable correction network.
By connecting through NTRIP using a mobile data connection, surveyors and machine operators can access precise positioning information wherever SmartNet coverage is available.
Why Choose a SmartNet Subscription?
Centimetre-Level Accuracy
SmartNet provides the accuracy required for professional surveying, machine control, construction and mining applications.
Reliable RTK corrections help improve confidence in field measurements while reducing costly errors and rework.
No Need for Your Own Base Station
Maintaining a base station requires equipment investment, setup time and ongoing maintenance.
With SmartNet, corrections are delivered through the network, eliminating the need to establish your own base station for many projects.
Fast RTK Fix Times
Time is money in the field.
SmartNet’s extensive reference station network allows users to achieve fast RTK initialisation and maintain reliable corrections throughout the working day.
Australia-Wide Coverage
Whether you’re working in metropolitan areas, regional centres or major construction and mining corridors, SmartNet offers extensive coverage throughout Australia.
This makes it an ideal solution for businesses operating across multiple locations.
