* A SparkFun RTK device can obtain RTK Fix anywhere there is [coverage](https://www.u-blox.com/en/pointperfect-service-coverage). This includes the US contiguous 48 states, the EU, Korea, as well as parts of Australia, Brazil, and Canada. Note: L-Band coverage is not available in some of these areas.
* You don't need to be near a base station - the PPP-RTK model covers entire continents.
* Because PointPerfect uses a model instead of a dedicated base station, it is cheaper. However, the RTK Fix is not as accurate (3-6cm) as compared to getting corrections from a dedicated base station (2cm or better but depends on the baseline distance).

* **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.

* **IP**: Corrections are transmitted over the internet. The RTK device will need access to a WiFi network. This is most commonly a hotspot on a cell phone so this delivery method is generally confined to areas with cellular and/or WiFi coverage.
