Who operates it
- The GNSS Szolgáltató Központ (GNSS Service Centre) is operated by Lechner Nonprofit Ltd., under the supervision of the Hungarian government.
- It is the official national GNSS CORS service supporting Hungary’s geodetic reference system.
Availability & access
- The service is subscription-based, with different plans for professional surveyors, engineering firms, and academic institutions.
- Provides real-time GNSS corrections via NTRIP and RINEX data downloads for post-processing.
Coverage & scale
- The network covers all of Hungary with a dense grid of continuously operating reference stations.
- Integrated into European systems such as EUPOS and aligned with the European Terrestrial Reference Frame (ETRF).
Typical use cases
- Cadastral surveying and property registration.
- Engineering and infrastructure projects requiring centimeter-level precision.
- Agricultural applications, including precision farming and machine guidance.
- Scientific research in geodesy and geodynamics.
How it’s used in practice
- GNSS rovers connect via NTRIP to the service for real-time RTK corrections.
- Surveyors and researchers use RINEX files for static, kinematic, and geophysical studies.
Notes
- The Hungarian GNSS service is known for high reliability and professional support.
- It plays a central role in modernizing Hungary’s geospatial infrastructure and aligning it with European standards.
