How it works

The service is delivered by a network of permanent GNSS receivers, known as Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS), that are strategically located across NSW.

The CORSnet-NSW network continuously observes and corrects satellite navigation signals to provide international-standard, high-accuracy positioning data for NSW. These corrections are then streamed via a wireless internet connection and then used by equipment and machinery in a variety of sectors, including:

  • surveying
  • agriculture
  • construction
  • emergency services
  • mining
  • scientific research
  • asset management.
