*RTK Facet L-Band* products are equipped with a special antenna and extra receiver to decrypt the L-Band corrections using the PointPerfect service from u-blox. The PointPerfect sub-menu allows a user to enter their 'Home' WiFi settings. This WiFi SSID and password are used to regularly obtain the needed decryption keys from u-blox. This is normally your home WiFi or other accessible WiFi.

PointPerfect L-Band decryption keys are valid for a maximum of 56 days. During that time, the RTK Facet L-Band can operate normally without the need for WiFi access. However, when the keys are set to expire in 28 days or less, the RTK Facet L-Band will attempt to log in to the 'Home' WiFi at each power on. If WiFi is not available, it will continue normal operation. If the keys fully expire, the device will continue to receive the L-Band signal but will be unable to decrypt the signal, disabling high precision GNSS. The RTK Facet L-Band will continue to have extraordinary accuracy (we've seen better than 0.15m HPA) but not the centimeter-level accuracy that comes with RTK.

**Note:** The RTK Facet L-Band is capable of receiving RTCM corrections over traditional means including NTRIP data over Bluetooth or a serial radio. But the real point of L-Band and PointPerfect is that you can be *anywhere*, without cellular or radio cover, and still enjoy millimeter accuracy.

In addition to allowing the entry of WiFi credentials, the PointPerfect Menu will display the Device ID. This is needed when a SparkFun RTK Facet L-Band product needs to be added to the PointPerfect system. This is normally taken care of when you purchase the L-Band unit with PointPerfect service added, but for customers who did not purchase the service and want to add it at a later date, this Device ID is what customer service needs.

Multicast DNS or MDNS allows the RTK device to be discovered over wireless networks without needing to know the IP. For example, when MDNS is enabled, simply type 'rtk.local' into a browser to connect to the RTK Config page. This feature works both for 'WiFi Access Point' or direct WiFi config. Note: When using WiFi config, you must be on the same subdomain (in other words, the same WiFi or Ethernet network) as the RTK device.
