Australia’s Trusted RTK Correction Network for Surveying, Construction, Mining & Machine Control
Accurate positioning is the foundation of every successful survey, construction project and machine control operation.
Whether you’re performing cadastral surveys, construction set-out, machine guidance, topographic surveys or mining applications, reliable GNSS corrections are essential to achieving accurate results and maximising productivity.
SmartNet Australia provides real-time Network RTK corrections through one of Australia’s largest reference station networks, delivering centimetre-level positioning accuracy directly to your GNSS receiver.
Available through Red Edge Resources, SmartNet offers a simple, reliable and cost-effective alternative to operating your own base station network.
What is SmartNet?
SmartNet is a Network RTK correction service that uses a network of Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) across Australia to provide highly accurate GNSS corrections.
Using mobile data and NTRIP connectivity, SmartNet creates a Virtual Reference Station (VRS) near your location, allowing your rover to achieve fast and reliable RTK fixes without the need for a local base station.
The result is consistent centimetre-level positioning accuracy across a wide coverage area.
