Slovak real-time positioning service (SKPOS®) is a multifunctional tool for precise object and phenomena positioning by global navigational satellite systems (GNSS). The service enables users to work on-line or in post-processing way in mandatory geodetic reference systems ETRS89 and S-JTSK (JTSK03 frame). SKPOS® comprises the network of continuous operated reference GNSS stations connected by virtual private network to National Service Centre established at Geodetic and Cartographic Institute in Bratislava. National Service Centre is equipped with the control software, which administrate satellite observations from the continuous operated reference stations network and simultaneously generates so-called network corrections for users using real-time service and data serving for post-processing for users equipped with post-processing software.
