onocoy Loopback or Your Own Caster?
If you mine with onocoy, Loopback lets you use your own station’s corrections on your own equipment. Three streams can run at once for free. Additional streams use onocoy’s Data Credits. For a tractor, drone and rover, that may cover the job.
onocoy continuously monitors your station’s data and validates its quality. Here is what Loopback includes:
- Your own station’s stream. Sharing outside your own operation needs written permission from onocoy first. Direct clients may be allowed.
- A shared login. You can’t disable access for one device separately. Removing a device’s access means changing the shared login on the devices you keep connected.
- No built-in archive. You can record the stream yourself for PPK processing after fieldwork or to calculate your base position.
RoboGNSS adds separate rover logins, rover and crew activity monitoring, and an archive. Your receiver uploads once to a private stream called a mountpoint. You create logins for your equipment or crew, and disabling a login immediately disconnects that rover. Pro includes 10 rover logins and up to 10 simultaneous connections per base.
With archiving enabled, RoboGNSS keeps the raw observations received from your station for 7 days on Free, 30 on Pro or 90 on Fleet. From the recorded data, RoboGNSS generates RINEX observation files on request for PPK or calculating your base position.
RoboGNSS also helps you troubleshoot field problems and oversee crew activity. You can check your base’s stream health, see when each rover login connected and for how long, and review the positions each rover reports back. Connection history and reported positions are kept for the same period as your archive. For PPK, use that history to find the base files that cover a rover’s time in the field.
Paid plans also support forwarding alongside rover access. onocoy rewards stations that keep delivering, so the forward reconnects on its own after a drop.
For a job-site base, create the mountpoint, set up your receiver’s upload and create rover logins. Your rovers can receive corrections once the receiver is sending data. There is no wait for manual activation of rover access.
Use Loopback when its shared login and sharing rules fit your operation. Add RoboGNSS when you need to manage rover access, troubleshoot field problems, oversee crew activity or keep an archive for later processing.
