  • review of current GNSS-based positionning systems
  • what's RTK (Real-time Kinematic)
  • RTCM and NTRIP : industry classics, walled gardens...
  • Centipede-RTK: a collaborative global open-data RTK network
  • RTKBase: a free/open-source RTK Base station software
  • Create your own base and participate!
  • Millipede: a scalable/free/open-source RTCM caster for the next step
  • C-based
  • libevent, multithreaded, TLS
  • RTCM streams: ideal use-case for IP anycasting
  • return of experience on Millipede development
  • multithreading + event-based: best of both worlds
  • tests
  • valgrind
  • returns about AI assistance during development
  • what's next?
