BALDWIN, Ill. – Back 40 Precision today announced the worldwide release of their RTK data corrections software, the agriculture industry’s exclusive independent provider with the capability to calculate Deere corrections in the server, rather than rebroadcasting from Deere reference stations. Any RTK provider can now offer all industry data types from any brand reference station.

“Dealers have been looking for a way to control their networks and profitability through managing their networks independently,” said Joshua Hinton, Co-owner and Innovation Engineer, Back 40 Precision. “The value added by cross industry compatibility gives dealers a wider customer base and greater ROI potential.”

Features and Benefits

Whether or not the dealer has data or positioning type preferences, they now have the ability to harness all of the current industry choices in one cost effective package.

The Back 40 proprietary software features RTCM 3.1, 3.2, CMR and NCT Deere data types, alongside of that are manual & single baseline, VBN/VRS virtual networks as well as MAX & iMAX master auxiliary network types.
