Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol

Last updated

The Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol (NTRIP) is a protocol for streaming differential GPS (DGPS) corrections over the Internet for real-time kinematic positioning. NTRIP is a generic, stateless protocol based on the Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP/1.1 and is enhanced for GNSS data streams. [1]

The specification is standardized by the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM). [2] NTRIP was developed by the German Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG) [3] and the Dortmund University Department of Computer Science. [4] Ntrip was released in September 2004. [5] The 2011 version of the protocol is version 2.0. [6]

NTRIP used to be [7] an open standard protocol but it is not available freely (as of 2020). There is an open source implementation available from software.rtcm-ntrip.org Archived 2020-08-11 at the Wayback Machine from where the protocol can be reverse-engineered.
