Eliminating complexity, delivering precision
From long survey drives to drone mapping missions, Qinertia Cloud Kinematic transforms your raw rover data into centimeter-accurate trajectories
How it works ?
Simply provide your kinematic file, and our cloud platform takes over. Qinertia Cloud with Orbi AR automatically sources corrections, downloads precise ephemeris, and executes advanced forward/backward processing to compute and validate the most accurate path for your drone, vehicle, or vessel.
Technology behind precision
Precision positioning technology enables accurate navigation and mapping, even in challenging environments. It reduces errors and improves mission efficiency. Modern systems combine inertial sensors with advanced GNSS correction techniques to deliver reliable results.
Orbi AR (PPP technology): Global accuracy without a base station
The SBG systems’ Precise Point positioning technology delivers centimeter accuracy anywhere on Earth, from remote deserts to open oceans. This advanced technique processes your rover data using precise satellite orbit and clock corrections, and advanced atmosphere modeling. It is the ultimate solution for any project where setting up or accessing a base station network is impractical or impossible. More in detail →
PPK with a single base – The Gold standard for local accuracy
The highest possible relative accuracy for projects with a dedicated base station.
Qinertia Cloud processes your rover data against a single base station—whether it’s your own or from its integrated CORs network. By resolving the integer ambiguities over the short baseline, it achieves robust, centimeter-level precision.
PPK with VBS – Maximum convenience over wide areas
When working over a larger region without a single optimal base station, Qinertia Cloud leverages network solutions. VBS technology creates a “virtual” base station at your rover’s approximate location by using data from multiple CORS stations integrated in Qinertia Cloud. This eliminates the need to search for and select a single base, providing consistent, high accuracy across your entire project area. It’s perfect for corridor mapping (roads, pipelines), agricultural surveys, and large-scale GIS data collection.
Forward/Backward & Merge – Maximum data integrity and continuity in challenging environments
Even with the best base station setup, real-world kinematic surveys face inevitable signal outages—under bridges, through tree canyons, or near structures. The forward/backward & Merge ensures the position is continuous and trustworthy. It calculates your trajectory both forward (from start to end) and backward (from end to start), then intelligently merges these two independent solutions. This self-validating process identifies and “bridges” gaps, drastically reduces re-lock times after an outage, and delivers a smoother, more robust trajectory.

Qinertia rely on a network of more than 8.000 base stations in 164 countries to improve GNSS accuracy. Explore the stations on MySBG website.
Do you have questions?
What is Qinertia Cloud Kinematic?
It is a web-based kinematic GNSS post processing service that processes a moving receiver to get a precise, continuous trajectory You simply upload your data through a browser and get results in minutes, with no specialized software or expertise required.
Is the service free?
We are currently running a Free Beta program. You can sign up to process your data for free and help us shape the future of the service. We’ll notify users when the free period ends.
Do I need to install any software?
No. The service is completely web-based. Just log in with your “MySBG” account, upload your GNSS data, launch the processing and the results with the report will be sent by email after processing.
What kind of data can I upload?
The platform supports RINEX observation files (v2, v3) and all major vendor-specific GNSS formats (Septentrio, NovAtel, Trimble, u-blox). You simply upload your data, choose the processing mode and Qinertia Cloud does the rest.
What do I need to get started?
All you need is:
- A GNSS receiver capable of collecting static observations, supporting at least GPS L1 with doppler shifts or dual-frequency, and able to export data in the formats listed in Q4.
- An internet connection and a web browser.
What level of accuracy can I expect?
Our algorithms provide centimeter-level accuracy, depending on data quality and survey setup.
Which GNSS constellations are supported?
The service supports major constellations including GPS, Galileo, and BeiDou.
Do I need special hardware?
Any standard GNSS receiver that records RINEX files is compatible. You just need an internet connection to upload your data. However, PPP technology with fixed ambiguity is currently available only for Septentrio receivers, and PPP technology with float ambiguity only works with a dual-frequency GNSS receiver.
What is Orbi AR and why is it important?
Orbi AR (Precise Point Positioning with Ambiguity Resolution) is SBG’s advanced positioning technology. It uses precise satellite orbit and clock data, a global reference network, and advanced modeling to resolve integer phase ambiguities, which is the key to achieving centimeter-level accuracy without needing a physical base station nearby.
How long does Qinertia Cloud Kinematic processing take?
Processing times are directly proportional to the length of your rover file. The exact speed depends on the complexity of the trajectory and the number of satellites tracked.
How do I get my results?
Processed results are available for download directly from the platform.
Is my data secure?
Absolutely. All uploaded files are stored securely, processed in the cloud, and available only to you.
How long will my processed GNSS results be stored?
During the beta phase, Qinertia Cloud securely stores your last 5 processing jobs for 30 days from the date of completion. You can download your results at any time during this period. After 30 days, they are automatically deleted to ensure data privacy.
What’s the difference in accuracy between PPP and PPK?
PPK with a nearby base station (<30km) or VBS typically provides the highest accuracy (1-3 cm). Orbi AR delivers exceptional kinematic positioning accuracy (2–3 cm) with global coverage.
What is the ideal processing time frame?
Qinertia Cloud contains multiple modes of processing, the minimum time frame after mission to conduct processing depends on the processing mode:
- PPP with Orbi AR: 36 hours
- PPK with single base station: 1hour
- PPK with VBS: 3 hours
How long should my kinematic observation be?
Your kinematic observation should be as long as your survey area requires. The duration isn’t the constraint, the quality and continuity of the data are. A flawless 10 mins kinematic survey will be processed perfectly, while a 20-minute survey with multiple signal losses will be problematic.
What kind of reports does it include?
The report provides a summary of the processing, including final coordinates, accuracy estimates, processing parameters, and advanced GNSS graphs. This gives you full transparency and a verifiable record for your projects. Reports are available in two formats: PDF for easy reading and sharing, and JSON for seamless integration into automated workflows or external systems.
Is it necessary to set up my own base station?
No, that’s the key benefit. The service uses Orbi AR technology or the global network of Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) from Qinertia, eliminating the need for you to set up, manage, or download data from your own physical base station.
How does Qineria Cloud Kinematic handle GNSS outages?
Qinertia Cloud Kinematic uses advanced Forward, Backward, and Merged processing to minimize the impact of signal loss.
Think of it as calculating your path from the start to the end (Forward), and then again from the end back to the start (Backward). By merging these two independent solutions, we can:
- Bridge short outages more effectively.
- Reduce re-initialization time after a loss of lock.
- Deliver a smoother, more reliable trajectory through challenging areas like underpasses or dense tree cover.
This technology is especially critical for ensuring data continuity in urban canyons and construction sites.
