# Laptop NTRIP Client

## NTRIP Client

This NTRIP client allows for the connection to CORs/VRS networks. 

This client also allows for the routing of RTCM data from Serial, UDP, Bluetooth and other such corrections source types to the Sentera ground radio output. This allows for integration of many other correction sources/base stations.
