rotocol. Developed by the Federal Agency for
Cartography and Geodesy of Germany, Ntrip enables the streaming of GNSS data over the internet.
Ntrip is implemented in three system software components: NtripClient, NtripServer and NtripCaster. The NtripCaster
is the actual HTTP server program while NtripClient and NtripServer are acting as HTTP clients.
The GR10 can act as an Ntrip Server, sending GNSS data to an Ntrip caster. Leica GNSS Spider software can act as
such a caster.
More information on Ntrip is contained in the Glossary topic, Ntrip .
Before you begin
Ntrip is a very easy way to distribute GNSS data to a high number of users. The GR10 can act as an Ntrip server. To
use the functionality, a mount point and the mount point access details on an Ntrip caster must be available.
