Hello everyone. I am learning to use RS2 Rover only by connecting to the NTRIP network. I have some difficulties but I will try to disturb as little as possible. My question is the following: is the best FIX connection using the SIM card inside the RS2 or being connected in hotspot with the smartphone? Or does nothing change? Thanks

Hi @alekar77, this really depends on your locale and experience. In my opinion, in the US, the least issues can arise when using a mobile hotspot/jetpack versus a SIM card. That being said, if you are wanting to to RTK over IP, I can see why having a SIM in your base would be better than having a hotspot at the base. If you are just doing NTRIP with your Rover, I would go hotspot/jetpack all day! Again, it depends on your locale and exact needs.

If you are in the US I would go with the hotspot. The SIM card port in the RS2 only supports 2G and 3g, both of which have been discontinued by all the major cell carriers here!

Hi @alekar77,
Welcome to our community forum!
I agree with other answers. There are no differences in most cases. You need to choose a connection based on where you are. If 2G and 3G will be shouted down in your country, you indeed need to use a mobile hotspot. But in some countries, we expect a 3G shutdown only. So, 2G should work fine there, and it should be enough to obtain a Fix with NTRIP.
