What is Raven Slingshot RTK?
Simply put, it's affordable RTK correction, with a five-fold increase in coverage area and absolutely no line-of sight requirement! But there's so much more...
Slingshot is a fusion of today’s leading precision ag tools – it is a solution that ties together RTK GPS correction via cell signal, high-speed Internet access, asset tracking, access to real-time service from authorized Slingshot dealers, and the ability to transfer data such as prescription maps without cards or wires. Slingshot does all this while increasing accuracy to the sub-inch level, more than quadrupling the typical RTK coverage area, eliminating the need for line of sight requirements from a base station and it costs roughly one-third of a typical RTK system.
How does it work?
The cell signals can be accessed one of two ways – through existing public CORS networks or through a system of base stations installed by a Slingshot dealer (ET) - each base station features a 30-plus mile radius of signal accessibility. An industrial grade modem, the Slingshot Field Hub resides in the vehicle cab to receive the signal. The result is repeatable RTK GPS correction and full wireless-internet access.
