Alaska Continuously Operating Reference Network (ACORN) GNSS

As Alaska is late to the implementation game, there is an opportunity to skip the physical infrastructure and base station installation and deploy NTRIP (Network Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol). This would allow for the creation of a VRS (Virtual Reference Station) where needed allowing for field crews, drones or self-driving cars to stay connected as needed. This project allows the saving of a considerable amount of money by deploying a digital public service while laying the foundation for next gen precision technologies.
