Javad LS, T2 with RTK Drone

Starting a Photogrammetry chapter in my surveying business, still wrapping my head around the idea. I bought an Autel Evo 2 V3 RTK, I know I don't NEED rtk because of PPK and GCPs, but I like the idea of using it as another source. Do we need to have the base and Rover set for SIM Cards to use rtk with? The issue I have, is that I'd prefer to use our JAVAD T2 and LS Rover, but the T2 doesn't support a Sim card. Could we just use the LS as a base and use THAT SIM card only to broadcast corrections? Maybe that is a JAVAD Question??

Also regarding NTRIP....JAVAD offers a service for 1k$ for a one time fee, whereas our other gps offers what they call StormCaster for 600$ per year. That's a Hemisphere S631 from Benchmark Canada (same as Carlson BRX7)

What do you all do? I cant seem to find many javad users with rtk drones. Should we ignore RTK? What free processing do you use? I've tried out Metashape with seemingly good results. They only charge you when you want to export data. Thanks

I purchased an Emlid RS2+ to use with my M350 for RTK. It's a shame to have lots of Javad rtk equipment and not be able to use it with the drone for rtk, but DJI doesn't work with UHF or TCP corrections. The Emlid will connect to the DJI controller and provide RTK corrections via a local Ntrip setup.

Javad's JCORS is a NTRIP service. Did you ever try it?

We use a DJI drone but don't use rtk location. We use Red Tool Box to post process the photos with the base data. then i use agisoft metashape to process the photos for point cloud and ortomosaic photo

What service are you referring to? JCORS is free.

To use the T2 as a base you would just need to connect the T2 to the internet through WiFi hotspot.
Is there a video somewhere to elaborate on how to do this? I feel like JAVAD doesn't even try to help with this. I'd like to try this!

To use aT2 as 'a base' to connect to the internet through Wi-Fi hotspot to send / provide 'RTCM3 TCPO MSM (multi-constellation) corrections is easily available.
Note" For Triumph-LS+ 'rover' users, this is automatic when using the 'Remote Base' configuration via JFIELD.

However, using the NetView application (or GREIS command line interface), the same 'setup' can be configured for any user application or requirement :)
