With the development of high precision GNSS industry and RTK positioning technology, more and more countries and areas started to build their local CORS. Even some terminal users of surveying, precision agriculture and smart navigation start to build personal CORS for their own use.

For fresh beginners to setup their CORS network, a period free trail of maintaining your CORS stations and managing your users is important for you to build a long-term platform in the future. In the last chapter we’ve introduced how to get a static IP with Amazon Cloud.

For beginners who want to build their own CORS network, the first thing they need to consider is how to build a CORS platform in order to manage all your stations and different usage rights for users. However, to purchase CORS software and get public IP or domain may be confusing for fresh beginners.

Nowadays, more and more farmers or surveyors want to set up a continuous operation base station for their rovers working in a specific area, such as auto-steering systems in a farm field or GNSS receivers in a construction site.

As introduced in the previous blog, CORS (Continuous Operational Reference System) continuously collects high-quality GNSS raw observation data through reference stations, providing mobile terminal users with high-precision positioning services at the millimeter to centimeter level. From navigation and positioning to land surveying, disaster prevention and mitigation, smart cities, autonomous driving, etc., in which the CORS system plays a huge role. In general, users only need to purchase a CORS account to easily obtain differential data for use in various scenarios.

In our last blog, we've talked about why we need to remotely manage the CORS station and how to reach it.
