Introducing SP60 as Rover

Network Rover The SP60 has no network connectivity device of its own, but

the data collector, to which it is connected over Bluetooth to

run the field software, may have this capability (internal

modem operated in GPRS mode, using a suitable SIM card).

So network corrections received using the data collector

modem will be forwarded to the SP60 over Bluetooth as well.

In this case of use, the SP60 will be able to deliver RTK

positions using one of the following standard network

connection types:

•NTRIP

• Direct IP (TCP/IP Direct)

Additionally, the SP60 can compute and deliver positions of

the CenterPoint RTX type, also through a network connection

called “RTX”. This option is a special case of Direct IP

connection where the preset corrections provider is Trimble

RTX Services. A subscription is needed to operate the receiver

in this mode.

Rover Using

Local Base

The expression “local base” refers to a base you own and can

fully control (operating sessions, location, etc.).

The rover can receive RTK corrections from the local base via:

• Long-range Bluetooth

• Radio (internal at the rover, internal or external at the

base). See Using the UHF Kit Option on page 23.

• Central (Spectra Precision cloud application). Available

only if Survey Pro is used as field software.

NOTE: Using Central relies on the use of a network

connection of the NTRIP type, entirely managed by Survey

Pro. The local base receiver should integrate a GPRS

modem so it can support this connection on its own (no

external device or data collector needed). Typically, the

receiver used will be an SP80, and not an SP60.

• Data collector modem or cell phone used in CSD mode

(only if FAST Survey is used as field software and a

suitable SIM card is used). The rover will acquire RTK

corrections in “Direct-Dial” mode (the rover will start a

phone-like connection with the base (e.g. an SP80, which

has a built-in modem) by dialing the preset phone

number).
