Singular XYZ N1 GNSS Receiver Product Review

Singular XYZ N1 GNSS Receiver – Professional Reference Station for Maximum Reliability

The Singular XYZ N1 GNSS Receiver is engineered as a high-end, industrial-grade reference station designed for applications where continuous uptime, operational reliability and highly accurate GNSS data are essential. With its powerful multi-constellation tracking engine, extensive communication capabilities and rugged design, the N1 meets the stringent demands of CORS networks, monitoring projects, precision agriculture, machine control, geodetic infrastructures and other mission-critical positioning systems.

Supporting GPS, BDS, GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS, the Singular XYZ N1 delivers stable, high-quality GNSS observations even in challenging signal environments. Its advanced processing engine, large channel capacity and strong interference mitigation make it an excellent foundation for long-term RTK networks and permanent monitoring installations.

High-Precision GNSS Performance with Full Constellation Support

Equipped with a 1408-channel high-precision GNSS engine, the N1 can simultaneously track multiple frequencies across all major satellite systems. This ensures exceptional satellite availability, fast initialization times and reliable sub-centimeter performance in both RTK and post-processing workflows.

With RTK accuracies reaching 8 mm + 1 ppm horizontally and 15 mm + 1 ppm vertically, and post-processing accuracies down to 2.5 mm, the N1 meets advanced geodetic requirements and supports demanding positioning tasks with confidence.

Industry-Standard Communication for Maximum Compatibility

Protocols and Data Formats Designed for Professional Networks

The N1 integrates seamlessly into existing GNSS infrastructures thanks to full support for commonly used communication protocols and data formats, including:

• TCP, UDP, MQTT*

• Ntrip Server & Caster

• NMEA-0183

• RTCM v3.x

Versatile Hardware Interfaces

To support both modern and legacy systems, the N1 provides a broad set of physical interfaces, such as Ethernet, 4G modem connectivity, WiFi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac), RS232/RS485 ports, PPS and event inputs, and oscillator interfaces. This flexibility ensures easy deployment in a wide variety of environments—from centralized data centers to remote monitoring sites.

Engineered for Continuous 24/7 Operation

One of the N1’s defining strengths is its exceptional operational reliability. With an MTBF exceeding 20,000 hours, the receiver is optimized for permanent installations where downtime cannot be tolerated. Its embedded Linux operating system offers stability, security and configurability, ensuring dependable long-term operation.

The device supports external power supply input and an optional internal backup battery to maintain operation during power failures, further enhancing system resilience.

User-Friendly Control and Monitoring

Intuitive Web Interface and Display

The N1 features two user interfaces designed for convenient configuration and control:

• A browser-based WebUI accessible via Ethernet or WiFi, allowing users to monitor system status in real time, configure operating modes, manage Ntrip settings, update firmware and review event logs.

• A 2.45″ OLED display with physical buttons, providing quick on-site access for diagnostics and setup without additional tools.

Dual Data Storage for Secure Backups

The receiver includes 8 GB of internal storage (upgradeable to 32 GB), a USB port for external storage and a loop-recording function to ensure that raw GNSS data is never lost. This is crucial for monitoring applications and high-precision workflows that depend on continuous dataset availability.

Rugged IP67 Construction for Demanding Environments

Constructed from high-strength aluminum and certified to IP67 for dust and water protection, the N1 is built for harsh environments. MIL-STD-810 vibration resistance ensures durability in locations exposed to shocks, temperature fluctuations or mechanical vibration. Despite its robust housing, the N1 maintains a practical weight of just 3 kg, making installation and handling efficient for field teams and network operators.

Ideal for CORS Networks, Monitoring and Professional Geospatial Systems

The N1 integrates seamlessly with the SingularCaster CORS platform, simplifying base-station management, rover monitoring, subscription handling and automated logging. This makes it an excellent choice for organizations seeking a scalable, reliable and future-ready GNSS reference station. Whether deployed in national CORS networks, structural monitoring systems or precision agriculture, the Singular XYZ N1 delivers long-term accuracy and operational certainty.
