RTK GNSS vs. PPP: Which High-Precision Technology is Revolutionizing Smart Farming

In today’s fast-evolving agricultural landscape, precision is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. As farmers strive to increase efficiency, reduce input costs, and maximize yields, GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) technology has become a cornerstone of modern precision agriculture. Two key high-accuracy positioning technologies are leading the way:  Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GNSS  and  Precise Point Positioning (PPP) . But which one is best suited for your farming operation? Understanding the differences between RTK and PPP can help farmers make informed decisions that enhance productivity, reduce waste, and improve overall farm management. In this article, we break down both technologies, compare their benefits and limitations, and provide real-world examples of their applications in agriculture. Understanding RTK GNSS Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GNSS  is a technique that enhances positioning accuracy by using a fixed  base station  and...
