Many emerging applications, from autonomous vehicles to smart agriculture, require far greater positional accuracy than conventional GNSS systems can deliver. Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) technology offers centimeter-level precision but has historically been complex, costly, and difficult to integrate into embedded and IoT designs. This article introduces the fundamentals of RTK, explores its challenges, and outlines how modern, integrated platforms such as the Taoglas EDGE™ Locate are simplifying deployment and expanding RTK’s potential across a broad range of high-precision applications.
