Precise static GNSS processing, simplified
Professional-grade static GNSS post-processing is now as simple as a few clicks.
How it works ?
Just upload your static data, and Qinertia Cloud integrated with Orbi AR take care of the rest. It automatically identifies the optimal base station, selects the best correction solution between PPK and Orbi AR, downloads precise ephemeris and correction data, and performs rigorous full quality checks to deliver you the most accurate and reliable coordinates possible.
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.
Explore our base stations
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 Static?
It is a web-based static GNSS post processing service that processes your static GNSS data to get a single, highly accurate point like base station and Ground Control Point (GCP). 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 processing take?
For a typical 1-2 h static file, processing is usually completed within one minute.
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 is the accuracy difference between PPP and PPK?
PPK with a nearby base station (<30km) or VBS typically provides the highest accuracy (1-3 cm). Orbi AR (PPP technology) offers excellent accuracy (2-5 cm under good conditions) 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 static observation be?
For optimal results, we recommend a minimum of 30 minutes of static data. The required duration can vary based on satellite geometry, atmospheric conditions, and your specific accuracy requirements. Longer sessions generally provide more robust and precise results.
Which kind of reports are included?
The report provides a summary of the processing, including final coordinates, accuracy estimates, processing parameters, 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.
Do I need to set up my own base station?
No, that’s the key benefit. The service uses the global network of Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) from Qinertia or Orbi AR technology, eliminating the need for you to set up, manage, or download data from your own physical base station.
I have my own base station, can I use it?
Yes, while Qinertia cloud allows fully automated workflow where we select the best processing modes and base station, you can also choose the post processing mode “PPK with single base station” to upload your own base station data to launch the calculation.
