Ntrip
Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol
•
is a protocol streaming real-time corrections over the Internet.
•
is a generic protocol based on the Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP/1.1.
•
is used to send differential correction data or other kinds of streaming data to stationary or mobile users
over the Internet. This process allows simultaneous computer, laptop, PDA, or instrument connections to a
broadcasting host.
•
supports wireless Internet access through mobile IP networks like digital cellular phones or modems.
The Ntrip Server could be the GPS instrument itself. This setup means the GPS instrument is both the Ntrip Source
generating the real-time data and also the NTRIP Server transferring this data to the Ntrip Caster.
