SingularXYZ X1 RTK GNSS Receiver with 60 Degree IMU

Compact RTK GNSS performance for professional fieldwork

The SingularXYZ X1 RTK GNSS receiver is designed for surveyors and construction professionals who need accurate positioning without carrying a large or heavy receiver. Measuring approximately 133.5 mm in diameter, 67 mm high and weighing around 870 g, it keeps the top of the survey pole light while retaining the communication and measurement functions required for modern RTK work.

The X1 can be used as an RTK rover, an RTK base receiver or a static GNSS receiver. This flexibility makes it suitable for cadastral and topographic surveying, site setting out, road and infrastructure projects, earthworks, utility mapping, GIS data collection and drone ground-control surveys.

Track more satellites across the working area

The receiver uses 1408 channels to track GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, NavIC and SBAS signals. Access to several satellite constellations and frequencies gives the receiver more positioning data to work with throughout the day.

In practical field conditions, broader satellite availability can help maintain a usable solution when part of the sky is obstructed by buildings, trees, machinery or site structures. A clear view of the sky is still recommended whenever the highest possible accuracy and reliability are required.

Centimetre-level RTK measurement

The specified RTK accuracy is 8 mm + 1 ppm horizontally and 15 mm + 1 ppm vertically under suitable conditions. This level of performance supports detailed point surveys, construction checks, site-control work and accurate stakeout after the receiver has obtained a fixed RTK solution.

Typical RTK initialisation takes less than five seconds, helping operators start or resume work quickly after moving between survey areas. Positioning performance will depend on satellite visibility, baseline length, correction age, multipath, radio or mobile coverage and the quality of the control coordinates being used.

Survey efficiently with 60° IMU tilt compensation

The integrated IMU supports tilt surveying at angles of up to 60°. Instead of carefully levelling the survey pole for every observation, the operator can measure while the pole is tilted and allow the receiver to compensate for the pole angle.

This is useful when collecting points close to walls, fences, kerbs, excavations, building corners, parked vehicles or other objects that prevent the pole from being held vertically above the point. It can also reduce time spent watching the pole bubble during topographic surveys and construction layout.

The stated tilt accuracy is better than 2.5 cm within the supported tilt range. Good field practice remains important: the pole height should be entered correctly, the pole should remain stable during measurement and the receiver should have adequate satellite tracking.

Use network RTK or a local GNSS base station

The SingularXYZ X1 includes an integrated 4G modem for connecting directly to an NTRIP or CORS correction service using a compatible SIM card. This allows the receiver to operate as a network RTK rover without depending entirely on the internet connection of the field controller.

Correction data can also be received through a connected controller using Bluetooth. This workflow is useful when the controller already has mobile data access or when the operator prefers to manage the NTRIP connection through field software.

For local base-and-rover operation, the receiver includes a 410–470 MHz UHF radio. The enhanced internal radio supports a stated working range of up to 15 km under optimal conditions. Actual range can be reduced by terrain, buildings, vegetation, antenna position, interference and local radio regulations.

Base and rover flexibility

The X1 can operate as either a GNSS base or rover, allowing companies to use matching receivers for a complete local RTK system. In base mode, correction data can be transmitted through the internal radio or an internet-based connection. In rover mode, the receiver can accept corrections from a local base, an NTRIP service or a compatible external source.

The receiver supports common correction and communication formats, including RTCM, CMR, NTRIP client, NTRIP server, NTRIP caster and TCP workflows. Radio compatibility should be checked before combining the X1 with equipment from another manufacturer, particularly when using the enhanced UHF configuration.

Static GNSS recording and post-processing

In addition to real-time RTK surveying, the X1 can record raw GNSS observations for static measurement. Its internal storage provides space for longer data-logging sessions, supporting control surveys and projects where observations will be processed after field collection.

Static data can be recorded in the receiver’s native format or in supported RINEX formats. Files can be transferred through the USB Type-C connection or downloaded through the receiver’s browser-based WebUI.

Simple receiver management through the WebUI

Connecting to the receiver’s Wi-Fi network provides access to a browser-based management interface. From the WebUI, users can review receiver status, configure operating modes, manage stored data and perform firmware updates without installing a separate desktop application for routine receiver management.

The X1 also includes Bluetooth and NFC for fast connection to a compatible data collector. Four front-panel indicators show key information such as battery condition, satellite tracking, correction-data activity, mobile-network status and static recording.

Long battery life for full working days

The internal 6700 mAh battery provides more than 20 hours of operation under stated test conditions. This allows many crews to complete a normal working day without changing batteries or stopping to recharge the receiver.

Charging is handled through the USB Type-C connection, and the receiver can also be powered or charged from a suitable portable power bank. Battery duration varies according to the selected communication mode, radio transmission power, temperature and receiver settings.

Built for demanding survey and construction sites

The receiver uses a magnesium-aluminium alloy housing and carries an IP68 environmental rating. It is protected against dust and water ingress and is designed to survive a drop of up to 2 metres onto concrete.

Its specified operating-temperature range extends from -40°C to +65°C, allowing the receiver to be used in a wide variety of climates. As with any precision survey instrument, it should still be transported in a protective case and inspected after a significant impact.

Suitable applications

The SingularXYZ X1 can support a broad range of measurement tasks. Surveyors can use it for control, detail and topographic work, while construction teams can use it to set out points, lines and design positions. GIS and utility crews can collect accurate asset coordinates, and drone operators can measure ground-control and independent check points.

• Land, cadastral and topographic surveying
• Construction layout and site verification
• Road, utility and infrastructure projects
• GIS asset and feature collection
• Drone ground-control and check-point measurement

Field software and controller compatibility

When connected to a compatible Android controller running SingularPad, the X1 can be used for project setup, coordinate-system configuration, point collection, stakeout, CAD-based fieldwork and COGO calculations. Data can be imported or exported to suit common surveying and construction workflows.

A field controller is not necessarily included with the standalone receiver. The selected package contents should therefore be checked before ordering, particularly when a complete pole, controller, software or base-and-rover system is required.

Buying and technical support from Global GPS Systems

Global GPS Systems can help match the SingularXYZ X1 to the intended correction method and field application. This includes selecting a suitable controller, survey pole, UHF configuration, NTRIP workflow or additional receiver for base-and-rover operation.

Correct setup is especially important when working with local coordinate systems, third-party radios or regional RTK networks. Technical support can assist with receiver connection, correction settings and preparation of the system for practical field use.
