SingularXYZ Orion ONE Visual Laser RTK GNSS Receiver

The SingularXYZ Orion ONE is a compact, professional RTK GNSS receiver that combines multi-constellation satellite positioning, a 2 MP camera, augmented-reality stakeout, non-contact laser measurement and a 60-degree tilt-compensating IMU. It is designed for accurate surveying, mapping and stakeout work in conventional and difficult-to-access environments.

The Orion ONE is primarily designed for land surveyors, construction layout teams, civil engineering contractors, infrastructure professionals, mapping specialists and other geospatial users who need centimetre-level positioning in the field.

The receiver supports point surveying, control-point measurement, point and line stakeout, visual AR stakeout, laser surveying, CAD mapping and stakeout, road stakeout, static data collection, localisation, area and perimeter measurement, volume calculations and other common field-survey workflows.

Yes. The Orion ONE can operate as an RTK base or rover. Two compatible receivers can be configured as a base-and-rover system using the internal UHF radio, while a single receiver can be used as a network rover with corrections supplied through a connected data collector.

Yes. The Orion ONE can receive NTRIP or CORS corrections through a Bluetooth-connected Android data collector or controller with internet access. The receiver itself does not contain an integrated cellular internet modem, so the controller normally provides the network connection.

Yes. Its laser survey function can measure points without placing the survey pole directly on them. This is useful beside busy roads, near water, on steep slopes, beneath structures, against building facades and at other obstructed, unsafe or physically inaccessible locations.

The specified RTK accuracy is 8 mm + 1 ppm horizontally and 15 mm + 1 ppm vertically under suitable operating conditions. Actual results depend on satellite visibility, correction quality, baseline length, multipath, atmospheric conditions and correct field procedures.

The 1,408-channel GNSS engine tracks GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS and NavIC signals, together with supported SBAS services. Full-constellation tracking helps improve availability and reliability in areas such as urban streets, construction sites and locations with partial sky obstruction.

The typical RTK initialisation time is specified as less than five seconds when suitable satellite signals and valid correction data are available. A cold start is specified at under 30 seconds, while signal reacquisition is specified at under one second.

The built-in IMU calculates the position of the pole tip while the survey pole is tilted by up to 60 degrees. This allows users to measure beside walls, around obstacles and in other awkward locations without keeping the pole perfectly vertical.

Tilt-survey accuracy is specified at within approximately plus or minus 2.5 cm across the supported 60-degree tilt range. The receiver must have a fixed RTK solution, the correct pole height must be entered and the IMU must be properly initialised.

No. The IMU is initialised through guided movement in the field software and can then be used continuously during normal operation. Reinitialisation may be required after the receiver is restarted, reset, shaken violently or rotated excessively, or when the software indicates that calibration has expired.

The Orion ONE sends a live image from its camera to the connected data collector. SingularPad overlays directional guidance and the target position onto the real-world view, helping the operator walk toward and identify the required stakeout point more intuitively than with a conventional map-and-arrow display.

The receiver has a 2 MP global-shutter, starlight-grade camera with a 75-degree field of view and a frame rate of up to 30 frames per second. It is designed to provide clear visual guidance, including in relatively weak-light conditions.

Yes. Accurate visual stakeout requires a reliable RTK fixed solution and a correctly initialised IMU. The controller also connects to the receiver through Wi-Fi to display the live camera view and augmented-reality guidance.

The specified working range for accurate laser surveying is up to 10 metres. Although the visible laser spot may sometimes be seen at greater distances, measurements beyond the specified range should not be assumed to meet the stated accuracy.

The laser distance sensor is specified at approximately 3 to 5 mm + 1 ppm. Complete laser-point accuracy also depends on the RTK solution, IMU condition, tilt angle, target surface, receiver stability and measurement distance.

Yes. The operator can remain in a position with a reliable GNSS solution and use the laser to extend the measurement to a nearby point beneath an overhang, beside a facade, below a bridge or in another locally obstructed area. The receiver still needs sufficient satellite reception at its own position.

The Orion ONE is designed to work with SingularPad, SingularXYZ’s Android field-surveying software. SingularPad supports receiver configuration, point collection, laser survey, AR stakeout, CAD workflows, localisation, road functions, area and volume calculations, data import and export, and base or rover setup.

The receiver supports Bluetooth 4.0 dual mode, NFC-assisted pairing and Wi-Fi. Bluetooth is commonly used for receiver control and GNSS data, NFC simplifies initial connection, and Wi-Fi supports camera interaction, WebUI access, file transfer and system management.

Compatibility depends on the radio version and protocol selected. The standard UHF option can support common receive protocols, but the enhanced long-range UHF version may not communicate with ordinary third-party UHF rovers. The required frequency, protocol and base-rover compatibility should therefore be confirmed before configuration.

The enhanced internal UHF radio is specified for operation at up to 15 km in optimal conditions. Real-world range depends on terrain, antenna height, radio power, interference, obstructions, local regulations and whether compatible base and rover radio versions are used.

The Orion ONE supports NMEA-0183 output, RINEX 3.02 and 3.04, and SingularXYZ binary observation files. It supports RTCM 3.x correction formats and communication protocols including NTRIP client, NTRIP server, NTRIP caster, TCP and UDP. The selectable data update rate ranges from 1 to 50 Hz.

The receiver includes 8 GB of onboard storage for static observations and other data. Stored files can be accessed through the Wi-Fi WebUI or by connecting the receiver to a computer with a USB Type-C cable. Storage expansion may be available depending on the supplied configuration.

The internal 4,200 mAh battery provides up to approximately 12 hours of operation, depending on the selected work mode, radio transmission, camera use, laser use, temperature and wireless connections. A full fast charge takes approximately three hours under suitable charging conditions.

Yes. The receiver has an IP67-rated magnesium-aluminium housing, protecting it against dust and temporary water immersion when ports and covers are correctly secured. It is designed to survive a two-metre drop onto concrete and has a specified operating temperature range of -40°C to +65°C.
