Correction services in Arkansas
Arkansas crews choose between the state DOT network, commercial network RTK, crowd-sourced base stations, satellite-delivered corrections and their own base.
| Type | Typical operator | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| State DOT network | The state DOT and its partners, with reference stations in Arkansas. | Who is eligible, the user agreement, and what it commits to on availability and support. |
| Commercial network RTK | A private provider with stations across several states. | How many correction sources serve your area, the published service level and its remedy, and the term. |
| Crowd-sourced network | Independent owners hosting single base stations. | Distance to the nearest base, station uptime, and how each base was surveyed. |
| Satellite or state-space (PPP-RTK, SSR) | A provider broadcasting an error model without a local base. | Convergence time, accuracy and vertical performance. |
| Your own base | Your crew, on a surveyed point. | The survey of the base point, range, and the time spent setting it up and guarding it. |

Industries using precise positioning or RTK corrections in Arkansas
Farmland: Arkansas had 37,000 farm operations on 13,600,000 acres operated in 2025, and its farms produced 1,052,700,000 broilers. Land leveling, poultry house pads and auto-steer on those farms depend on a correction that holds pass after pass. (USDA NASS, State Agriculture Overview, 2025)
Rice and soybeans: Arkansas farmers had 1,284,000 acres of rice and 2,590,000 acres of soybeans planted in 2025. Precision leveling, levee layout and variable-rate seeding on those fields need positions and heights that repeat year after year. (USDA NASS, State Agriculture Overview, 2025)
Roads: Arkansas had 99,087 miles of public road in 2022, 81,865 of them rural. Grading, resurfacing and drainage work on those roads is staked and checked against design. (FHWA, Highway Statistics, Table HM-10, 2022)
Power plants: Arkansas's power plants had a net summer capacity of 15,907 megawatts in 2024, and natural gas was the primary energy source. Plant sites, solar arrays and transmission routes are laid out from surveyed points. (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2024)
