The next AI revolution is not just happening on screens. It is happening in the physical world.
Robots, drones, autonomous vehicles, and smart machines all need one thing before they can operate safely: Precise location.
Traditional GPS can be off by several meters. For humans, that may be fine. For autonomous machines, it can be dangerous.
GEODNET is building the spatial intelligence layer for Physical AI, using RTK positioning to improve accuracy from meters to within one centimeter.
Over 20,000 base stations.
170+ countries.
11,000+ cities.
130+ enterprise customers.
Physical AI needs real-world infrastructure.
That infrastructure is being built now.
Vidalia, Georgia: home of the sweet onion! 🧅
Vidalia sits in farm country, where planting, spraying, mapping and autonomous equipment all depend on knowing exactly where a machine is. GPS alone can be off by meters. RTK brings it down to centimeters.
Vidalia, GA is now on the GEODNET map!
The network now spans 176 countries with 22K+ stations, one more town at a time. 📍
How RTK works, simply put:
Satellite signals travel about 20,000 km to reach a receiver. On the way, the atmosphere bends and delays them. A standalone receiver can end up meters off.
RTK fixes that:
1. A base station sits at a known, fixed location. It knows exactly where it is.
2. It compares that position to what the satellites report. The gap shows how much error is in the signal right now.
3. That correction streams to your machine over the internet in real time.
4. Your receiver applies it and lands within centimeters.
Meters become centimeters. That's the difference between "somewhere in the field" and "on the row."
The closer the base station, the better the correction. That's why GEODNET keeps adding them, every week.
22,000+ base stations. 175 countries. The world's largest RTK network.
