SmartNet License Information

What kind of data services are offered on SmartNet?

SmartNet North America provides high-precision, high-availability Network Real Time corrections and Static corrections for any application, using any constellation, while at the same time being open to all. Leica and SmartNet pride ourselves on providing instrustry standard corrections such as RTCM 3.1 Master-Auxillary Correction and RINEX data files for post-processing applications. Using our online registration process, you can register for the following:

  • Real Time Corrections on a state, province, regional, or national level using a paid subscription
  • Static Corrections for all of North America free of charge
  • Full Access which provides the benefits of both Real Time and Static Corrections
  • What are Real Time Corrections?

    SmartNet North America is available to anyone with any make of GPS/GNSS receiver that can accept RTK or DGPS corrections broadcast by CDMA or GPRS (Mobile phone Internet) from industry standard RTCM 3.1 or 2.3 formats. Different NTRIP (Networked Transport via Internet Protocal) products available under the surveying, construction and agriculture subscription are:

    Real-Time Products Mountpoint Description
    Master Auxiliary Concept RTCM3_MAX The only international Network RTK transmission standard and preferred format of Leica Geosystems
    Individualized MAX RTCM3_iMAX or RTCM2_iMAX Non-Physical method of corrected data from real reference stations
    Nearest Site RTCM3_NEAR or RTCM2_NEAR Single base corrections from the nearest reference station

    Assuming the standard GPS/GNSS RTK protocols and TSA best practice methods are employed for maximum precision, SmartNet typically achieves an RTK rmse accuracy of 10-20mm plan and 15-30mm in height.

    So whether you own a Leica Geosystems or another make of GPS/GNSS receiver you are able to gain access to the service for which ever format of corrections you desire.

    *Other corrections formats are available on a limited basis, please ask your local representative for additional information

    What are Static Corrections?

    As an additional service to SmartNet subscribers, there is a free of charge RINEX download facility thru SmartNet SpiderWeb sites. Once you have registered and your account has been activated, you have the ability to login using your provided SmartNet License username(s) and password(s) and download the RINEX data that you need from all of our SmartNet North America sites.

    Our SpiderWeb sites also includes other information such as quality monitoring of each individual station, through our GNSS QC software and a unique coordinate computation service embedded within SpiderWeb using Leica Geo Office that allows your raw data to be processed online against the SmartNet reference stations, think of it as our version of OPUS

    What does Full Access mean?
