RTK and PPK procurement questions

Positioning workflows differ in how correction data is delivered and used. A buyer should map the intended receiver, correction source and processing process before ordering.

The purchasing decision

Ask the survey lead to define the required workflow and accuracy evidence. Record compatible correction formats, antenna requirements and data outputs. Treat achieved project accuracy as a complete workflow result, not a label attached to a receiver.

Keep these records

  1. Correction-data workflow.
  2. Antenna and interface list.
  3. Field acceptance method.

Give each record an owner and a revision or date. If a supplier proposes a different part or test condition, record it as an exception for review before treating the quotation as equivalent.

Turn the review into a sourcing request

Start with the linked component checklist, add the actual platform and part identity, and state quantity, destination and timing. List unresolved requirements explicitly so the first discussion can focus on those gaps.
