Case IH RTK+ Network Available Through Birkey's
AFS RTK+ Cellular Correction
Sub-Inch Accuracy. Consistent Coverage. Birkey's Support.
AFS RTK+ Cellular-based guidance
Available now through Birkey’s is an AFS RTK+ subscription which allows producers to achieve sub-inch, repeatable accuracy through a network of base stations throughout our territory. Cellular guidance correction signals alleviate line-of-sight issues, including hills, valleys, trees, buildings or other structures — offering consistent accuracy at any distance within the network. AFS RTK+ delivers seamless connectivity and year-over-year, repeatable sub-inch accuracy by expanding the reach of existing service signals. This means greater field efficiency and the reduction of application overlaps and skips even in the most narrow of rows.
How AFS RTK+ works.
The vehicle modem transmits its estimated location to an internet server via a cellular connection. The server calculates the correction by using the known position of nearby networked stations. Cellular RTK correction signals provide consistent, uniform coverage anywhere within the network where a cellular signal is available. Additionally, xFill™ will continue to provide corrections in the event of a temporary loss of cell phone signal.
AFS RTK+ features and benefits.
FEATURE | BENEFIT |
|---|---|
| Correction to a reliable sub-inch accuracy. | Improves field efficiency, reduces overlaps and skips, and allows for more accurate placement of inputs. |
| Networked cellular RTK correction. | No line shifts between bases as seen with traditional single base or standalone stations. |
| Cellular RTK signals are not affected by line-of-sight issues, such as trees, hills, or buildings. | Minimizes opportunities for dropped or degraded correction signals and extends distance of travel with seamless connectivity. |
| Compatible with competitive modems, and supports most common correction types. | Allows you to incorporate AFS RTK+ into your mixed fleet operation. |
| Features xFill™ Technology. | Runs seamlessly in the background automatically bridging the gap if AFS RTK+ is interrupted due to cellular signal disruption. |
