With the popularity of CORS networks, there has been a surge in users worldwide establishing their own stations. Given that CORS networks necessitate 24/7 provision of differential services, its management software like our SingularCaster also requires 24/7 stable operation. Therefore, opting for a cloud server is recommended to provide the software with a reliable environment for long-term operation. In this blog post, we will delve into selecting the suitable cloud server, including considerations for parameter selection, assisting you in configuring and managing your CORS effectively.

Recently, we have received lots of inquiries from our SV100 users about how to configure it as a base station. We know that SV100 has two network transmission ways - 4G and Ethernet. Compared to 4G, Ethernet is more stable and has few compatibility issues. And most users have connected Ethernet to their routers.

With the popularization of RTK technology in all walks of life, the global CORS coverage is getting higher and higher. Many surveyors, GISer, farmers, etc. started to use CORS instead of setting up RTK base stations themselves.

Since our SV100 GNSS receiver was released half a year ago, many users have shown great interest and got positive feedback about it. Most of our users have used the SV100 as a reference station for their CORS or monitoring projects.

In our previous blogs, we introduced a free method using Amazon Cloud & SNIP for beginners who want to build their own CORS platform. However, some of our SV100 users recently said that the 750hrs free trial period of Amazon Cloud is a bit short. So in today's blog, we will share a new method of free trial throughout the year – how to build your CORS server with Alibaba Cloud?

In the previous chapters, we talked about how to site an ideal location for a CORS station and analyze GNSS data quality. After these preparations, we can start building the CORS station.
