Introduction

If you are looking for a high-precision GNSS receiver that supports all major global satellite navigation systems, you might want to consider the D-RTK 2 Mobile Station from DJI. This device provides real-time differential corrections that generate centimeter-level positioning data for improved relative accuracy. In this blog post, we will explore some of the benefits of using the D-RTK 2 for accurate drone positioning and mapping.

Centimeter-Level Positioning

One of the main advantages of the D-RTK 2 is that it can provide centimeter-level positioning accuracy for drones, which is essential for applications such as surveying, aerial inspections, agriculture, and other industrial uses. The D-RTK 2 Mobile Station fully supports GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, and GALILEO signals, and can receive data from up to 5 remote controllers simultaneously when used with DJI drones such as the Phantom 4 RTK, the P4 Multispectral, the MG-1P RTK, the Agras T16, the Agras T20, the Matrice 210 RTK V2 and the Matrice 300 RTK.

The D-RTK 2 Mobile Station has a built-in high-gain antenna that offers better signal reception from more satellites even when obstructions are present. It also has a built-in IMU that monitors movements and calibrates the tilt sensors to alert the operator of any abnormalities during the mission, minimizing risks.

Stable and Reliable Data Transmission

Another benefit of the D-RTK 2 is that it supports communication via 4G, OcuSync, WiFi, and LAN, ensuring uninterrupted, stable data transmission under any application scenario1. The D-RTK 2 Mobile Station can also be connected to multiple aircraft when used with the Matrice 300 RTK, making coordinated operations involving multiple drones a possibility and significantly improving efficiency.

The D-RTK 2 Mobile Station also supports DPS (DJI Positioning Service), which provides high precision positioning data within the cover range of the base station. This means that even if the GNSS signal is lost or disturbed, the drone can still fly stably and accurately using the DPS data.

Portable and Durable Design

The D-RTK 2 Mobile Station has a lightweight carbon fiber body and features IP65 level ingress protection, making it ultra-portable and up for any task, no matter how tough1. It can be easily set up and operated by one person, and comes with a carrying case for convenient transportation and storage.

The D-RTK 2 Mobile Station has a long battery life of over 2 hours with the WB37 battery or over 50 hours with the MG-12000P battery. It can also operate in a wide range of temperatures from -20°C to 55°C.

Conclusion

The D-RTK 2 Mobile Station is a powerful and versatile device that can enhance the accuracy and reliability of drone positioning and mapping. It can provide centimeter-level positioning data for drones using multiple satellite systems, ensure stable and uninterrupted data transmission via various channels, and withstand harsh environments with its durable and portable design.
