DigiFarm VBN is a proven leader in providing RTK Correction Services across the Midwest and beyond, via cellular based RTK network. We have been in business since 2011 working with farmers, Ag retailers, and precision Ag dealers. DigiFarm is “brand neutral” meaning we offer corrections to every major brand of GPS equipment. We are a leader in the industry for innovations in the RTK world by introducing new products such as the industry’s first Bluetooth device to work with Apple, the first company to deliver cellular RTK corrections to John Deere in North America, and the first company to have complete network coverage across the country’s midsection.

Our DigiFarm VBN (Virtual Base Network) is our core business. The VBN is a cellular based RTK network capable of delivering a more reliable, more redundant, and a more accurate solution over a much larger geographic area compared to a single base network. We use multiple reference stations to generate a virtual base for each client. When you turn your GPS on, it will send your location to our VBN server and the server will then “virtualize” a base station which will be located, often times in the same field as you. Our customized mount points for each GPS unit will offer corrections tweaked for the specific needs of your GPS receiver. Currently, your state has a complete network capable of servicing farmers’ needs as well as vertical accuracy needed for water management. Our VBN network solution also delivers this same accuracy to John Deere receivers as well.

A benefit to the VBN are that you will always have survey grade accuracy because a virtual base station will always be nearby. If a base station loses power, internet, or gets struck by lightning, DigiFarm will continue to provide you service because your virtual reference station is generated by the network as a whole and not just a single base station. With DigiFarm VBN, you can move throughout the network without experiencing any line or changing network I.D’s. In the case of a brief cellular outage or poor cellular coverage area you will have the luxury of (with most brands) some form of RTK extend. Trimble, for example, lets you run on RTX for up to 20 minutes. John Deere, AgLeader, and others have various means of providing a backup for a short amount of time.
