4.2 Using Fugro Marinestar L-band PPP
correction data with the AsteRx-U MARINE
Fg
PPP (Precise Point Positioning) is high-accuracy positioning without the need for a local base
station. PPP uses precise satellite clock and orbit corrections computed by a global network
of reference stations and broadcast in real time by geostationary satellites transmitting in
the L-band. To receive PPP correction data, your receiver will need to be connected to an
L-Band capable antenna

. The AsteRx-U MARINE Fg can use PPP correction data from the
Fugro Marinestar service as described in the steps below.
Step 1: Check you have PPP permissions on your AsteRx-U
MARINE Fg
The use of PPP services is permission- fi le controlled on the AsteRx-U MARINE Fg. You can
make sure that you have PPP permissions enabled on the About page selected from the
Admin menu. Click on Permitted Capabilities and scroll down the list of permissions: PPP

Please note that PPP correction data is also available over an Ethernet connection using NTRIP and for this,
an L-Band antenna is not required
