I have an older Intuicom RTK bridge that uses Verizon 3G. Verizon is discontinuing 3G at the end of this year. I am no longer using it now that I have three receivers with NTrip capability.
The bridge works just fine, but will not work after 12/31/2019 (according to Verizon). If anyone wants it to use until the end of the year, it is free, just pay shipping.
It will work with a VRS or RTK over cell.
I think Intuicom has a trade-in program to upgrade the unit.?ÿ
Call me @ 509-710-3200, I'll consider it.
They do (or did). It was $500 if I recall correctly. But, with newer receivers with built in NTrip and onboard modems, and SNIP on my office computer, I don't need the bridge anymore. I wouldn't mind having a new one, but the cost is high for what would be very infrequent use. So I guess if someone is contemplating buying a new bridge this would at least get you a discount
Just to explain if someone is not familiar...it will connect to a correction source (VRS or RTK) over cellular, and then re-broadcast the corrections over a radio link like old school RTK. This can be useful in several scenarios...
1) poor cell coverage, you can put the bridge at a location with cell reception, and then roam around with the radio. I have an external antenna that goes on the roof of a vehicle for better coverage
2) multiple rovers on a site...it is only necessary to have one VRS subscription to use the bridge, then an unlimited number of local rovers could use it
3) much easier to configure the rover as radio style RTK
