The differences between RTK and PPK. Which method is best for your use cases?

Achieving centimeter-level GNSS accuracy? It’s all about choosing the right method—Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) or Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK). Our new video dives into the technical differences to help you decide which is best for your project.

We’ll look at distance limits, error detection, setup time, and data post-processing requirements. Discover why RTK has a 35 km limit for optimal accuracy, while PPK can extend up to 100 km, thanks to its offline processing. Get all the insights in this video to see which GNSS method best fits your accuracy needs and project goals.

Check out our tutorials How to generate RINEX files with for PPK with u-blox ZED-F9P, Unicore UM980 or Septentrio Mosaic and How to do Post-Processing Kinematic (PPK) with free software RTKLIB.
