 PointPerfect corrections are obtained by two methods:
 
-* **L-Band**: Corrections are transmitted from a geosynchronous satellite. Coverage areas are limited to the US contiguous 48 states and the EU. This delivery method requires special equipment (see the [RTK Facet L-Band](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/20000) for more information). No cellular or internet connection is required.
+* **L-Band**: Corrections are transmitted from a geosynchronous satellite. Coverage areas are limited to the US contiguous 48 states and the EU. This delivery method requires special equipment (see the [RTK EVK](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/24342) for more information). No cellular or internet connection is required.
 
 * **IP**: Corrections are transmitted over the internet. The RTK device will need access to a WiFi or Ethernet network. For WiFi, this is most commonly a hotspot on a cell phone so this delivery method is generally confined to areas with cellular and/or other WiFi coverage.
 
+## Localized Corrections
+
+The u-blox PointPerfect Localized correction service via MQTT (IP) offers quick delivery of high precision accuracy by providing your device only the SPARTN corrections applicable to your location. This feature offers several advantages over the traditional continental streams, including significantly reduced bandwidth requirements and seamless transition between regions.
+
+* **Reduced bandwidth requirements:** PointPerfect Localized can reduce bandwidth requirements by up to 80%. This is a significant advantage for applications sensitive to bandwidth constraints, such as those that operate in remote areas or use low-power devices.
+
+* **Retained Privacy:** PointPerfect Localized retains user privacy by not sending the device's precise location to the service to receive correction data. This is done by using a general node-based location system.
+
+PointPerfect Localized works by dividing the coverage area into a grid of tiles. Each tile contains a set of nodes that are relevant to a user located within that tile. Unlike the continental level approach where a device subscribes to the continental level topic, in the localized approach a device subscribes to the localized node topic based on its location. This ensures that the device receives only the correction data that is relevant to its location, greatly reducing the required bandwidth.

+The above image shows the Localized tiles for Level 2 (250 x 250km sparse, ~90-100km separation) vs. Level 5 (250 x 250km high density, ~30km separation).
+
+Localized distribution can be enabled via the serial menu (PointPerfect menu - option 'p'), or the web config page. On serial, option '4' will enable or disable localized distribution; option '5' selects the tile level.
