MNet
Welcome to MNet
McIntosh & Son have invested in a premium RTK service, MNet. RTK (Real-time Kinematic Positioning) is a satellite navigation technique used to enhance the precision of position-data, such as GPS.
Service & Support
MNet subscription service includes yearly visits to each site to make sure everything is running correctly and efficiently. McIntosh & Son will be managing farmers’ subscriptions and overseeing the network once installed.
Price
MNet offers an affordable way to maximise the potential of your precision agricultural systems. It is an extremely cost effective tool for operators with multiple machines.
An annual subscription is $1,600+GST, for FIVE logins (five machines at any one time) per year.
For additional savings, buy 4 years in advance ($6,400+GST) and get the 5th year free!
Compatibility
Machines and MNet are compatible and ready to go. All new machines can have MNet installed in them. Part of the way MNet works means using the modem to surpass the RTK message instead of having a vehicle radio module.
Location
Current MNet base stations span as far north as Geraldton and Ravensthorpe in the south. McIntosh & Son plan to expand their network, and locations will be based on enquiry. See below for live map of current locations

FAQs
What is MNet?
MNet is a premium NTRIP RTK service offered by McIntosh & Son.
What is NTrip?
NTRIP stands for Networked Transmission of RTCM via Internet Protocol.
What is an RTK service?
Put simply, the benefit is higher accuracy at a lower cost. An MNet subscription ensures your machine is supplied with accurate and reliable RTK signal. MNet also has a near-instant convergence time, which means less wait time for satellites to converge
How much is an MNet subscription?
MNet offers an affordable way to maximise the potential of your precision agricultural systems. It is an extremely cost effective tool for operators with multiple machines. An annual subscription is $1,600+GST, for FIVE logins (five machines at any one time) per year.
These 5 machines can change, as it is only 5 machines at one time. IE. If you have 10 machines but only use 5 at a time, you would still only need one MNet subscription.
For additional savings, buy 4 years in advance ($6,400+GST) and get the 5th year free!
Can a group of customers share a subscription?
Unfortunately, not at this stage. MNet is currently only available to individuals.
What ongoing involvement does McIntosh & Son have?
A subscription includes an annual site visit where MNet is installed, to ensure everything is working correctly. McIntosh & Son will also manage customer subscriptions, and the network, to ensure maximum efficiency.
