Correction services in Utah
Utah crews choose between the state network, commercial network RTK, crowd-sourced base stations, satellite-delivered corrections and their own base.
| Type | Typical operator | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| State network | The state geospatial office, with an annual paid subscription per login, usable on one device at a time, across Utah and parts of neighboring states. | Coverage near your sites, whether an availability commitment is published, and support hours. |
| 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. |
Coordinates and heights
RTK Premium delivers NAD83(2011), epoch 2010.0, on every Utah connection, and ITRF on request. Utah uses three State Plane zones under NAD83: North, Central and South. The state network states the same frame and epoch for its corrections, so control from either source sits in one realization. Set the project, the controller and the correction service to the same frame and zone before the job starts.
Setup
- Start the 14-day free trial on this site, or order a subscription. Your account arrives by email within two working hours.
- Enter the caster rtkpremium.xyz, port 2101 and mountpoint COMMON in your controller or receiver, with the username and password from your account.
- Measure a control point you trust before the job starts, and compare the result with its published coordinates in your project's frame.
Industries using precise positioning or RTK corrections in Utah
Hay: Hay was Utah's most valuable crop in 2025, and farmers harvested 480,000 acres of alfalfa hay that produced 2,064,000 tons. Cutting, raking and baling across those fields follow guidance lines that need a correction holding pass after pass. (USDA NASS, State Agriculture Overview, 2025)
Roads: Utah had 49,505 miles of public road in 2024, 36,339 of them rural, and federal agencies were responsible for 6,242 of the rural miles. Widening, shoulder work and resurfacing on those roads are staked and checked against design. (FHWA, Highway Statistics, Table HM-10, 2024)
Housing: Utah's 2025 building permits cover 16,774 new single-family homes and 9,221 units in buildings of five or more units. Subdivision lots, utility trenches and building pads are staked out from surveyed control before construction starts. (U.S. Census Bureau, Building Permits Survey, 2025)
Power plants: Utah's power plants had a net summer capacity of 10,277 megawatts in 2024, and coal was the primary energy source. New solar sites, substations and transmission lines are laid out from surveyed points. (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2024)
