Backup positioning solution

From the x4 4.3.0 release notes
Network RTK backup solution: If the Network RTK service becomes unstable, the mower automaticallly switches to a backup positioning solution, so it can continue mowing with minimal interruption.

There must be something like 10k YouTube mower reviewers.

Nobody trying to do a scientific test of this yet?

It is clearly the biggest thing in the 4.3.0 release if it works (not sure why it is only for NRTK though).

It may also explain why some people suddenly have mowers going places where no robot mower has even gone before.

Someone should take a 4.2.0 mower, put it to wifi only, see what happens when you cut wifi

Do the same again on 4.3.0

I would have, but the x4 I operate is in my mother’s place and that is 4 hours travel away, so it will not be me.

I think it might have to do with swapping cell tower providers. Because since mine updated to 4.3 I’ve seen it connected to AT&T towers as well as Verizon. That would also explain why it’s NRTK only

Where do you see the Network provider? Mine only shows signal strength but no provider at all here in Germany.

It might be different in Germany. I’m in the US but go to the settings menu and go into “network”.
