Seastar® NTRIP - Corrections via Internet

The Seastar® NTRIP DGNSS data delivery option provides a backup to satellite broadcast delivery.

Dual Independent Delivery Paths

Fugro Seastar® DGNSS services are delivered over
dual independent delivery paths. GPS and GLONASS
correction data sets are ‘built’ in both the Houston and
Perth Network Control Centres (NCCs) then delivered
via independent satellite Up Links to geostationary
communications satellites.

In each Ocean Region there is coverage from two different

communications satellites thus providing redundancy for
users.

Dual satellite broadcast data links in all ocean regions

Triple Redundancy
To complement the standard satellite broadcast delivery channels, Fugro Seastar® offers Internet delivery of correction data
using the NTRIP protocol. (Networked Transport of RTCM over Internet Protocol).

This option requires real time access to the Internet. Typically onboard the vessel this will be provided via a VSAT broadband
satellite communications terminal.
