DigiFarm VBN (Virtual Base Network) uses data collected from multiple base stations to generate complex models, of the entire network. Virtual base stations are generated per rover in order to maximize accuracy and reliability.
DigiFarm is an ever-expanding GPS network comprised of proprietary hardware and custom software solutions, designed to optimize performance and meet survey grade requirements. As a result, DigiFarm is the only company in North America to offer GPS corrections to all colors and brands of agricultural equipment on the market. We are always looking to expand our footprint with the addition of new base stations to meet customer needs. If you are a dealer that’s currently outside of our coverage area, please reach out to use to discuss options for your area.
A vast network of DigiFarm base stations send data via the internet into central servers where the data is processed for clients to use. A cellular modem is installed in the tractor cab and is connected to the GPS receiver so that a wireless data connection can be established between the tractor GPS receiver and the DigiFarm servers.
The GPS receiver on the tractor sends its position into the DigiFarm servers through the cellular modem. The DigiFarm servers respond by creating a virtual base station in close proximity to the tractor and transmitting corrections to the tractor’s GPS receiver through the cellular modem. By creating a virtual base station for each vehicle that logs into the network, DigiFarm is able to offer superior accuracy compared to that of a single base RTK provider. This also provides our clients with exceptional redundancy and reliability.
There are two types of RTK in the ag market today: Single baseline RTK and a network solution (or a virtual base network — VBN). The VBN solution is much more reliable and accurate when compared to single base RTK and is the primary choice for many farmers across the country.
