The ZED-F9P can go up to 30Hz. Why not get RAWX data at greater than 1Hz? Because nature doesn’t move that fast. Most PPP analyzation services will ignore anything greater than 1Hz. OPUS goes so far as to “decimate all recording rates to 30 seconds”. And, your OBS files will be monstrously large. If 24 hours is 300MB at 1Hz, it follows that 24 hours at 30Hz will be ~9 gig. So no, keep it at 1Hz.

We now need to pass the raw GNSS satellite data in RINEX format (*\*.obs*) through a post processing center to try to get the actual location of the antenna. There are a handful of services but we’ve had great luck using the Canadian [CSRS-PPP service](https://webapp.geod.nrcan.gc.ca/geod/tools-outils/ppp.php?locale=en). The US National Geodetic Service provides a service called [OPUS](https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/OPUS/) but we found it to be frustratingly limited by file size and format issues. Your mileage may vary.

If all goes well you should have a very precise location for your antenna. For u-blox receivers we are most interested in ECEF coordinates. [ECEF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECEF) is *fascinating*. Rather than lat and long, ECEF is the number of meters from the internationally agreed upon reference frame of the center of mass of the Earth. Basically, your ECEF coordinates are the distance you are from the *center of the Earth*. Neat.

Yes, the RTK2go website looks looks spammy but the service works well and is used widely. Please see [RTK2Go](http://rtk2go.com/) for details about creating an account.

The differences between Server and Client are small. The Server needs to know the mount point PW as it needs to be authorized to push data there. The Client needs to know which mount point, but does not need a mount point password. **Note:** You must provide a valid email address to RTK2Go.
