Base station

What is the definition of base station?

Base stations are on-Earth references for GNSS signal correction and overall improvement in system accuracy and reliability. They receive GNSS signals and uses carrier wave measurements to precisely calculate distances to observable satellites.

Base station locations are known to a very high degree of accuracy, so become referenceable locations.
