Build. Mine. EARN
Watch our introduction video to get a quick glance at what we do and why we do it.
WHAT WE DO
We collect GPS/GNSS satellite data worldwide and convert this into high precision GPS/GNSS correction data. Users can use this correction data in their own GPS/GNSS so they can achieve 1 centimeter accuracy in real-time or even millimeter accuracy when post processing the data at a later stage. This raw data is stored in our databases and for everyone to use at any time
WHY WE DO IT
without RTK GPS/GNSS correction data no receiver can achieve centimeter accuracy on its own. Precise positioning is becoming a key asset in construction, mapping, sports, agriculture and mining. There are networks running currently but either expensive or country bound. RTK Direct will help break these barriers and will offer affordable and accurate data to anyone that needs it.
HOW WE DO IT
RTK Direct places GPS/GNSS hotspot base stations and captures satellite data all over the world. We then adjusts the timing and atmospheric imperfections from the signals itself. We then convert this data into industry standard correction data for anyone to use and process. This is either centimeter accuracy data for real-time positioning or millimeter accuracy data for post processing.
WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN
Location. Location. Location.
In order to provide accurate data worldwide we need GPS/GNSS hotspot base stations worldwide as well. To help and provide coverage you can install one or more RTK miners in your area. Place it on top of your roof and hook it up to your router so we can collect GPS/GNSS satellite data in your region. As a reward for providing this data and coverage your RTK miner is mining the RTK token. It’s basically making you earn a passive income without doing anything.
Build. Expand. Earn.
An RTK Hotspot can provide up to 50KM of GPS/GNSS corrected coverage and by installing one you’ll be rewarded in RTK. Help provide 1 centimeter accurate Real-Time positioning for millions of users worldwide

Digitalisation in the automotive and construction industry is growing at a rapid pace. One of the technologies that is actively being adopted is geo-referencing and precise positioning for accurately determining objects locations. New building projects are digitally prepared and realised before even putting a shovel into the ground. With more and more humans populating on more concentrated areas it is nowadays key to maximise the spaces available.
This is where precise positioning comes to play. The more accurate we can calculate the position of stationary and moving objects, the more efficient and cost-effective we can use our surrounding areas. This mostly happens with GNSS. (GPS is part of the GNSS satellite network)The issue currently is that GNSS on itself is only capable of achieving an accuracy of approximately 1 to 5 meters which is not enough for accurate positioning. As a reference, your mobile phone will not get more than 10 meter accuracy.
RTK Direct has come up with a solution to further improve the GNSS performance to an accuracy of up to 1 centimeter in real-time.
Ride Sharing.
Making sure the car or scooter is parked in the designated parking spot is key in crowded cities. 1 Centimeter accurate positioning is key in making sure this can be easily managed. With positioning this accurate we can even tell if the scooter is parked on the sidewalk or not.
Sports. Racing.
Accurate tracking and analysing real-time data is already a game changer in sport. Now with centimeter accurate GPS data we can give better insight in timing, distances and positioning of anything that moves at high speed.
Aerospace. Aviation.
Core mining technologies are geospatial and mapping systems that enable precise location of mine facilities and machines to be recorded, monitored and guided.
To achieve this level of control it is essential that position is known to between 1 cm and 10 cm. This accuracy can be delivered with high precision GNSS, paired with RTK Direct correction data.
Marine. Precision.
Narrow inland waterways, lock systems and harbours require boats to navigate with utmost precision, sometimes leaving only a few meters between passing boats. Docking and undocking manoeuvres require special attention from the remote captain who monitors the process. In order to judge the situation correctly and if needed to remotely steer the ship, the remote captain needs to know the exact position of the ship down to sub-meter level.
Unmanned Arial Vehicles equipped with precision GPS for centimeter accurate data is a fast and cost-effective Land survey and Mapping solution.
Collision Control in Open-Pit Mining
Core mining technologies are geospatial and mapping systems that enable precise location of mine facilities and machines to be recorded, monitored and guided.
To achieve this level of control it is essential that position is known to between 1 cm and 10 cm. This accuracy can be delivered with high precision GNSS, paired with RTK Direct correction data.
Precision Farming Solutions
The costs associated with agriculture are on the rise and environmental demands are gaining ground by the day, meaning efficient and sustainable farming solutions are needed more than ever. RTK Direct offers an affordable solution to move towards precision agriculture. In doing so, it enhances precision, eliminates waste, saves time, reduces fatigue, optimises the use of equipment (thus extending its lifetime) and increases crop yields.
