OpenARC GNSS Correction Service

Introduction

OpenARC is Aceinna’s precise positioning platform that offers easy system integration of GNSS corrections with high performance GNSS RTK/INS hardware. OpenARC provides secure GNSS corrections powered by a dense RTK network nation-wide over the United States and a cloud-based architecture.OpenARC offers performance (<10 cm accuracy with no latency), security and integrity (fault tolerance and encryption) and flexibility, while being cost effective.
