Reliable RTK Correction Solutions for Construction, Civil and Mining
Stonex base stations play a critical role in delivering accurate, reliable positioning for machine control systems across construction, civil and mining projects.
At QuipTech Solutions, we supply and configure Stonex GNSS base stations to provide consistent RTK correction data to excavators, dozers, graders and survey rovers — ensuring machines operate with precision and efficiency on site.
What is a GNSS Base Station for Machine Control?
A GNSS base station is a fixed receiver that calculates its precise position and transmits correction data to machines and rovers on site.
This allows:
- Centimetre-level accuracy for machine control
- Consistent positioning across all machines
- Reliable site-wide performance
👉 Without a base station, machine control systems cannot achieve the accuracy required for construction work.
How Stonex Base Stations Work with Machine Control
Stonex base stations integrate seamlessly into machine control environments by:
Broadcasting RTK Corrections
- UHF radio (5W / 35W options)
- NTRIP via 4G / Starlink
- Site network solutions
Supporting Multiple Machines
- Excavators
- Dozers
- Graders
- Survey rovers
👉 One base station can support multiple machines across a site.
Providing Consistent Accuracy
- Eliminates variation between machines
- Ensures all operators are working from the same reference
- Reduces rework and improves productivity

UHF vs Network RTK for Machine Control
| Method | Best Use | Key Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| UHF Radio | Remote sites | Independent, reliable coverage |
| 4G / NTRIP | Urban / connected sites | No local base required |
| Starlink | Remote + connected sites | High reliability internet |
👉 Many sites use a hybrid approach depending on conditions.
