Who operates it
- SmartNet Greece, managed by Leica Geosystems, provides commercial GNSS RTK corrections across the country.
- TopNETlive, operated by Topcon, delivers global subscription-based correction services and is available nationwide in Greece.
Availability & access
- Both SmartNet and TopNETlive are subscription-based services, requiring paid plans.
- Corrections are delivered via NTRIP, compatible with professional GNSS rovers and machine guidance systems.
Coverage & scale
- Nationwide coverage, including both mainland Greece and the islands, supported by dense CORS station placement.
- Networks integrate with European geodetic frameworks (ETRF and EUPOS) to maintain alignment with continental standards.
Typical use cases
- Cadastral and land surveying in urban and rural areas.
- Civil engineering and large-scale infrastructure projects such as highways, bridges, and ports.
- Precision agriculture, including olive groves, vineyards, and large-scale crop management.
- GIS and environmental monitoring in coastal and mountainous regions.
How it’s used in practice
- Surveyors and engineers connect GNSS equipment to SmartNet or TopNETlive via NTRIP for real-time centimeter-level corrections.
- Users can also log GNSS data and combine it with corrections for post-processing.
Notes
- Greece’s challenging terrain with islands and mountainous landscapes makes reliable CORS services essential.
- SmartNet and TopNETlive provide robust, commercially supported options to meet professional demand.
