GLONASS – benefits to our RTK SmartRovers
With an extra constellation comes a more reliable and robust solution, with more pseudoranges being added to the equation. In fact, where a GPS-only receiver should see >5 satellites, 100% of the time, a GG receiver will see >10 satellites, 89% of the time. As GLONASS is inclined at 64.8° to the equator, (as opposed to GPS at 55°) your... -
