Description

The West Virginia Real Time Network is a service that operates 34 continuously operating reference stations that provide RTK and post processed corrections for users. This network is managed and operated by the Information Technology Division of the WVDOT. To eliminate gaps in coverage areas of our network, we coordinate with neighboring states to provide our users the best coverage possible. This service can be used as a tool to obtain highly accurate GPS data for collection projects, surveying, and for all other uses. This past year, the WVRTN underwent an infrastructure upgrade that replaced the original GPS receivers at our sites with Trimble Alloys. This infrastructure upgrade has expanded the amount of GPS constellations the receivers can receive, improved remote management options, and updated the infrastructure of sites. The infrastructure upgrade to the WVRTN has allowed us to effectively operate this network to provide it to the public.
