SNIP is an NTRIP Caster that allows anyone, from a hobbyist with a single device to large GPS – GNSS network operator with hundreds of devices, to quickly set up and run their own caster network delivering GNSS corrections to a user community.
All versions of SNIP support the basic core features needed by any NTRIP Caster, and the following types of data connections to create data streams
- Local connections established through serial ports (eliminating the need for a separate NTRIP Server device)
- Remote connections established through TCP/IP (as an NTRIP Client to other casters, or as a raw stream)
- Pushed-In connections that receive data from another NTRIP Caster passively (traditional NTRIP Caster streams)
- Pushed-Out connections that actively push data into another NTRIP caster (acting as an NTRIP Server for others)
SNIP is available in five different models to suit your needs. The Evaluation download allows exploring SNIP‘s primary features. In this mode, each time SNIP, is re-started, users have a limited one-hour evaluation period with all of the features in the Basic model enabled and a few other Pro abilities.

The Evaluation release of SNIP can be registered as a Lite model at any time free of charge by completing a brief in-app registration. The Lite model is a free Caster used by hundreds of small NTRIP Caster deployments all over the world. The Basic and Pro models have more features and can be purchased by way of a simple cart checkout process. An Enterprise model is available to support various unique needs (including delivery of RTCM in DSRC messages).
You may use any model of SNIP for either private or commercial applications, including the free Lite model. You may charge other parties who access your data as you see fit (or make it free). Lifetime upgrades as new releases of SNIP occur are always free to all registered users.
