    field. In combination with Alberding cloud solutions, the mobile systems can be customised for multiple server/client digitisation and automation applications. The Alberding A10-RTK sensor is a further development of the initial model A07-RTK, which is successfully used for a wide range of applications (agriculture, forestry, vehicle tracking, GIS, surveying, etc.).
  • Page 6 A10-RTK Instruction Manual Unlike the A07-RTK, the A10-RTK sensor integrates an LTE modem and a scalable GNSS board. Compared to the GPRS modem in the A07-RTK, the LTE modem offers a higher data rate and a future-proof perspective for mobile data transmission from/to the server.
