RTK precision without the radio- The StarFire 7500 Receiver offers a new correction level with accuracy like RTK Radio. The SF-RTK correction level provides 2.5-cm (1-in.) horizontal accuracy without the need for additional hardware. This is an improvement of 17 percent from the previous generation of StarFire receiver with SF3. The SF-RTK signal uses two additional satellite constellations (BeiDou and Galileo) as well as both GPS (United States) and GLONASS (Russia) satellites.
- The StarFire 7500 and StarFire 7500 Integrated Receivers simultaneously track correction signals from up to three StarFire correction satellites. The receiver tracks and uses correction signals from all StarFire satellites in view and intelligently chooses one that delivers the best performance. When the receiver moves into an area where the primary StarFire signal is blocked, such as near a tree line, the receiver automatically switches to an alternate StarFire signal (if visible) to help maintain accuracy and performance.
SF-RTK- John Deere’s latest satellite correction offering provides customers with simplified access to Radio RTK like accuracy and repeatability. Prior to SF-RTK, customers had to purchase additional hardware, RTK Ready or Permanent Licenses, and in most use cases work with a local John Deere dealer to access their base station network to use Radio RTK.
- SF-RTK eliminates that complexity through offering the same level of accuracy and repeatability from the sky! Plus, with SF-RTK there’s no need to switch base stations when moving between fields like seen with Radio RTK.
- The StarFire 7500 utilizes four GNSS satellite constellations, which are corrected through John Deere’s StarFire network to provide sub-inch horizontal accuracy. This provides customer’s our highest accuracy level, along with long-term repeatability (where applicable) to enable advanced guidance features and the confidence that guidance lines and boundaries won't shift from year to year.
The more irregularly shaped the fields and the more headland turns there are, the quicker iTEC Pro adds up the savings. Using iTEC Pro allows operators to perform faster, more efficient, hands-free headland turns with a consistency that is hard to match, no matter the field conditions or experience level of the operator.
