Who operates it
- Managed by the Survey of Bangladesh (SOB), the national surveying and mapping agency.
- The CORS infrastructure supports the official geodetic reference frame for the country.
Availability & access
- Data and correction services are provided through the Survey of Bangladesh.
- Access may be limited to authorized government, academic, or professional users, though some data is openly shared for scientific collaboration.
Coverage & scale
- A growing national network of continuously operating GNSS reference stations distributed across Bangladesh.
- Designed to strengthen national geodetic control and align with regional and global reference frames.
Typical use cases
- National mapping and cadastral surveying.
- Engineering and infrastructure projects requiring precise georeferencing.
- Research in geodynamics, tectonic plate motion, and climate-related monitoring such as land subsidence and sea-level rise.
How it’s used in practice
- Surveyors connect GNSS rovers to the CORS system for real-time RTK corrections.
- Government agencies and universities use RINEX data for post-processed positioning and geodetic studies.
Notes
- The establishment of the Bangladesh CORS network is part of a broader modernization of the country’s geospatial infrastructure.
- It enhances disaster management planning, especially for flood-prone regions and coastal monitoring.
