LINZ recently announced that from 1 August 2017 the PositioNZ-RT streams format will be upgraded to RTCM3.2 [MSM] format. In order to make this happen LINZ are decommissioning the older RTCM 3.0 format for all their stations.

How Will This Effect You?

If you’re a Global Survey SmartFix subscriber, there will be no effect as you retain the option to access the RTCM3.0 stream as part of our service.

If you’re accessing the LINZ feeds directly on older generation equipment or newer equipment without at least firmware version 5.5 you will have a problem. You’re choices are to either invest in newer equipment and firmware or if you’re not in a position to do that, you can continue to use the RTCM3.0 stream as a SmartFix subscriber. Find Out More.
