for more information. In most cases you need to
provide a data link between the base station and rover station (two NovAtel receivers) in order to
receive corrections. SBAS corrections can be accomplished with one receiver and are exceptions to
the base/rover concept. Generally a link capable of data throughput at a rate of 9600 bits per second,
and less than 4.0 s latency, is recommended.
Once your base and rover are set up, you can configure them as shown in the configuration examples
that follow in Sections 3.3.1 - 3.3.2 starting on Page 35.
