Do buildings create issues for the RTK tracking system? How high should the Data Center be located to minimize building interference?

Great question! While there isn’t a specific height requirement for installing the Data Center, the most important factor is ensuring it has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky, ideally with at least 120 degrees of open sky visibility. This is essential for the Data Center to connect to enough sat…

I suppose that the simplest thing is to use the level feature on an iPhone and determine if the sky is visible at 30°

@emil61 - As the Yarbo folks said. You’ll need to run an Ethernet cable to it as well, another consideration. Need a good spot that’ll accommodate both requirements.

I’m planning on mounting my data center on the roof of my house. I noticed that the bluetooth connection range is only about 5m. Once mounted on my roof I will be considerably farther away than 5m. Will this be an issue?

I’ve read where people can still reach the data center from inside a room closest to the data center mounting point.

It’s not typically an issue. You can always go to the top story of your home and get close if you need to. The range is usually longer and pretty incredible.

How high does the data center need to be mounted?

It’s like an upside down cone from the center of the DC upwards to 120 degrees.
