The SparkFun RTK EVK (Evaluation Kit) is the perfect development platform for your fixed or mobile high-precision positioning and navigation needs. In terms of connectivity, the SparkFun RTK EVK has the lot: WiFi / BT, Ethernet and LTE cellular! We called it the EVK (Evaluation Kit) as it truly covers all the options: L1 + L2 RTK GNSS, with L-Band correction built-in if needed, running on an agile processor with memory to spare!

!!! note
Currently, the RTK Everywhere firmware does not support cellular with the LARA-R6. However, we have written and tested extra code examples which will allow you to stream MQTT correction data from a u-blox PointPerfect Localized Distribution topic via the LARA-R6 cellular chip. This example demonstrates how easy it is to subscribe to PointPerfect and only receive the IP correction data you need for your location, minimizing your cellular data costs.

!!! note "AC Not Required!"
The Orbit enclosure comes with a built-in power outlet, but you don't actually need it! The EVK can be powered by Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), meaning all you really need to run up to the roof is a standard 8-core CAT-6 Ethernet cable. Choose a PoE Ethernet Switch that meets your needs. We have had good experiences with the [TP-Link TL-SG1005P](https://www.tp-link.com/us/business-networking/poe-switch/tl-sg1005p/) - available from many retailers including [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Compliant-Shielded-Optimization-TL-SG1005P/dp/B076HZFY3F).
