GNSS and RTK receiver hardware
Positioning hardware should be specified around the required output and correction workflow. An RTK label alone does not describe the complete positioning system.
Component library
Position & motion
Browse position & motion by interface and service requirement. Open an individual reference for the information needed to evaluate a sourcing request.
GNSS antennas and mounting accessories
The antenna, cable and mounting location form part of the positioning chain. Mechanical fit and RF requirements must be considered together.
IMU modules
An inertial module is selected for a measurement task and integration environment. Range, noise, timing and mounting need separate entries in the RFQ.
Heading and magnetometer modules
Heading hardware must be evaluated alongside its installation environment. Magnetic interference and frame orientation make a nominal sensor specification incomplete.

RTK and PPK procurement questions
Positioning workflows differ in how correction data is delivered and used. A buyer should map the intended receiver, correction source and processing process before ordering.
Component sourcing for survey and mapping firms
Survey firms buy a reliable deliverable rather than a pile of sensors. Component procurement should preserve the relationship between camera, position, timing and processing.
Supplying sensors to research laboratories
A laboratory may value accessible raw data and reproducible configurations more than a turnkey package. Clarify what the researchers need to measure and modify.
