Description

Compact RTK GNSS Surveying for Everyday Fieldwork

The Singular XYZ X1 Lite is a lightweight RTK GNSS receiver developed for professionals who need reliable centimetre-level positioning without carrying an oversized instrument. It is suitable for topographic surveying, construction stakeout, utility mapping, GIS data collection, boundary work and other jobs where accurate coordinates are required.

Its compact dimensions and approximately 870 g weight make the receiver comfortable to use on a survey pole throughout a full working day. The magnesium-aluminium housing is IP68 rated for protection against water and dust, while the rugged construction is designed to withstand demanding outdoor use and accidental drops.

Multi-Constellation GNSS Tracking

The X1 Lite uses a 1,408-channel GNSS engine that tracks signals from GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, NavIC and SBAS. Access to several satellite systems gives the receiver more signals to work with as conditions change across a site.

In practical terms, this can improve satellite availability near buildings, vegetation and other partial obstructions. Anti-interference technology is included to help maintain dependable positioning in complex signal environments. Local conditions, correction quality, satellite visibility and multipath will still affect the achievable result.

Measure with the Pole Tilted up to 60 Degrees

The integrated IMU supports tilt measurement at angles of up to 60°. Instead of carefully levelling the pole for every observation, the operator can reach building corners, fence lines, road edges, trenches and points beside parked machinery more easily.

The stated tilt accuracy remains within ±2.5 cm under suitable operating conditions. This is particularly useful during construction layout and detail surveying, where keeping the pole vertical can slow down point collection or make a point physically difficult to reach.

Network RTK and UHF Rover Workflows

For network RTK, the receiver can connect by Bluetooth to an Android field controller running compatible survey software. The controller supplies access to an NTRIP or CORS correction service through its mobile internet connection. This provides a practical rover setup for users working within an established RTK network.

The X1 Lite also includes a receive-only UHF modem covering the 410–470 MHz range. It can therefore operate as a radio rover with a compatible transmitting base or external radio setup. Because radio protocols and configurations can differ between manufacturers, compatibility should be confirmed before combining the receiver with existing equipment.

This Lite model does not include an internal cellular modem. Mobile network corrections are supplied through the connected data collector rather than a SIM card installed in the receiver.

Static GNSS Data Collection

With 8 GB of internal storage, the X1 Lite can record raw GNSS observations for static surveying and post-processing. Supported data includes the receiver’s native XYZ format and RINEX 3.02 or 3.04, making the unit useful for control surveys, longer observations and workflows that do not rely entirely on real-time corrections.

Recorded files can be transferred through the USB Type-C connection or downloaded through the receiver’s web interface. A selectable output rate of up to 50 Hz also supports applications that require faster position updates.

Simple Connection and Device Management

Bluetooth provides the main connection to a data collector, while NFC helps speed up pairing with compatible devices. This reduces the time spent searching through Bluetooth menus when setting up equipment in the field.

The built-in Wi-Fi interface provides access to a browser-based management page. From there, users can check receiver status, adjust settings, manage recorded data and install firmware updates. The receiver also provides LED indicators for essential information such as power, charging, satellite tracking and data status.

Battery Life for Long Surveying Days

The internal 6,700 mAh battery provides more than 20 hours of stated operation, depending on the selected working mode and environmental conditions. This capacity is intended to cover a full field day and reduces the need to interrupt a survey to replace batteries.

The receiver supports fast charging in approximately three hours. It can also accept an external 9–28 V DC supply for longer deployments or fixed-site use.

Who Is the Singular XYZ X1 Lite For?

The X1 Lite is a practical choice for surveyors who primarily work as an NTRIP or radio rover and do not require an internal 4G modem or an integrated display. Its low weight and tilt capability are especially valuable for users collecting many points during the day.

Construction teams can use it for setting out foundations, utilities, roads and site features. Surveyors can apply it to topographic measurements, control work and static observations. GIS and utility professionals can record accurate asset locations, while drone operators can use precise ground coordinates for control points and checkpoints.

  • Land and engineering surveying
  • Construction layout and machine-control checks
  • Utility, asset and GIS mapping
  • Road, earthwork and infrastructure projects
  • Drone ground-control and checkpoint measurement

Choosing the Correct Field Configuration

The receiver can be combined with a compatible Android data collector and field surveying application. Network RTK users will also need access to a suitable NTRIP correction service. For radio operation, the transmitting base and rover must use compatible frequencies, channel spacing and communication protocols.

Global GPS Systems can help confirm the appropriate controller, software and correction setup for your region and workflow. This is particularly important when the X1 Lite will be connected to an existing base station or mixed with equipment from another manufacturer.
