No RTK Antenna, No Installation: Mammotion iNavi™ Service Now Available in Australia

No RTK Antenna, No Installation: Mammotion iNavi™ Service Now Available in Australia

Setting up a high-precision robot lawn mower hasn’t always been simple.

For many systems, achieving centimeter-level accuracy requires installing an RTK base station — a process that can involve additional hardware, careful positioning, and ongoing maintenance.

For homeowners in Australia, especially those with larger or more complex lawns, this setup can quickly become a barrier. Installation constraints, signal limitations, and extra equipment often make the experience more complicated than expected.

To address this challenge, we introduce Mammotion iNavi™ Service (NetRTK) — a positioning solution that removes the need for a physical RTK antenna. Now already available in Australia.

What is Mammotion iNavi™ Service?

Mammotion iNavi™ Service is a NetRTK (Network Real-Time Kinematic) service developed by Mammotion Atlas Lab that provides centimeter-level positioning accuracy without the need for a local RTK base station.

Unlike traditional RTK systems that depend on a dedicated antenna installed on-site, NetRTK works by receiving correction data from a network of reference stations via the internet. This enables precise positioning while eliminating the need for additional hardware.

With Mammotion iNavi™ Service, the robot mower connects to the network to obtain real-time correction data, allowing it to maintain accurate navigation across the lawn. The result is a streamlined setup process combined with the high level of precision required for automated mowing.

The Mammotion iNavi™ Service is currently available in most regions worldwide and is gradually expanding to additional areas. Please check the iNavi™ coverage map online or via the app to confirm availability in your area.

Why Mammotion iNavi™ Service Doesn't Need an RTK Antenna

Traditional RTK systems depend on a physical base station installed near the mowing area. This base station acts as a local reference point, transmitting correction data directly to the mower.

While effective, this approach introduces additional setup requirements — including hardware installation, placement optimization, and ongoing maintenance.

Mammotion iNavi™ Service takes a different approach.

By leveraging NetRTK, all correction data is delivered through the network rather than from a local antenna. This removes the need for any on-site RTK hardware while maintaining the same level of positioning accuracy.

As a result, users can achieve high-precision mowing without dealing with:

  • RTK antenna installation
  • Signal alignment or calibration
  • Hardware setup constraints

This shift from hardware-based correction to network-based correction significantly simplifies the overall setup process, making advanced robotic mowing more accessible and easier to deploy.

Whether you’re creating simple patterns or intricate lawn art, the Mammotion iNavi™ Service ensures your robot mower delivers perfect, long-lasting, professional results every time.

✅ 5. Simplified Setup

Connecting the mower to WiFi or 4G and activating iNavi™ Service in the app is all that’s needed. This ease of use reduces setup time and removes the technical barriers commonly associated with RTK systems.

Together, these benefits make Mammotion iNavi™ Service the ideal choice for users seeking high-precision robotic lawn mowing without the complications of traditional RTK setups.

How to Use Mammotion iNavi™ Service?

Using Mammotion iNavi™ Service is straightforward and designed to minimize setup complexity. With just a few steps, your robot mower is ready to navigate your lawn with centimeter-level accuracy — no RTK antenna or local base station required.

Step 1: Check Network Coverage

First, make sure your mower has good 4G coverage or a stable Wi-Fi signal that covers the entire lawn (check the signal strength the same way you would on a smartphone). This connection allows it to receive NetRTK correction data in real time.

Step 2: Enable Mammotion iNavi™ Service in the App

Open the Mammotion mobile app and select iNavi™ positioning mode. The app automatically syncs the mower with the network correction data, so no manual calibration is needed.

Step 3: Define Your Lawn Area

Use the app to map your lawn boundaries. Mammotion iNavi™ Service supports complex and irregular layouts, ensuring precise edge detection and efficient mowing coverage.

Step 4: Start Mowing

Once your area is set, start the mower. Mammotion iNavi™ Service continuously updates positioning via NetRTK, keeping the mower on an accurate path without requiring adjustments or additional hardware.

Step 5: Monitor and Manage via App

Use the Mammotion app to monitor your mower’s progress and customize settings. From scheduling mowing tasks to checking battery levels and tracking real-time status, the app puts everything at your fingertips.

Price of Mammotion iNavi™ Service

The following Mammotion robotic lawn mowers are eligible for the Mammotion iNavi™ Service at no additional cost:

The Mammotion iNavi™ Service is free for the entire product lifecycle, and all required 4G data is provided at no cost. Check all robot mowers at the official website.

Pls Note:

Suppose you purchase a robot mower with iNavi™ Service and 3 years of free 4G data (some robot mowers have 1 year of free 4G data). Even if you do not renew your 4G plan after the free 4G period expires, you can still use iNavi™ with 4G, though other features that rely on a 4G connection will no longer be available.

Privacy & Data Security of Mammotion iNavi™ Service

Mammotion is committed to protecting user privacy while delivering high-precision positioning services.

The iNavi™ system is designed with strict privacy principles. When the mower connects to the Mammotion cloud center, it only receives the necessary positioning correction data required to achieve centimeter-level accuracy.

No personal or user-related data is collected, transmitted, or stored during this process. All data interactions are one-way and limited to positioning support, ensuring a secure and privacy-focused experience.

This approach allows users to benefit from advanced NetRTK technology while maintaining full confidence in their data security.
