SingularXYZ SV100 GNSS Receiver | CORS Base & RTK Bridge

SingularXYZ SV100: Flexible GNSS Reference Station and RTK Base

The SingularXYZ SV100 GNSS Receiver is a professional multi-purpose receiver for surveyors, engineers, construction teams, GIS professionals, drone mapping specialists, precision agriculture users, and organizations that need dependable GNSS correction data. It can be configured as a fixed reference station, a portable GNSS base station, or an RTK bridge that receives corrections from a network and rebroadcasts them to compatible field equipment.

Unlike a basic handheld GPS receiver, the SV100 is designed to support professional GNSS infrastructure. It can provide stable raw satellite data for CORS networks, deformation monitoring, construction site positioning, local RTK correction services, and other applications where reliable correction data is more important than simple point navigation. Its combination of multi-constellation tracking, network communication, optional UHF radio, data recording, and remote configuration makes it suitable for both permanent installations and temporary field setups.

One receiver for several GNSS workflows

The SV100 is built for users who may need to change the way they work from project to project. Installed with a suitable external GNSS antenna, it can operate as a reference station for a CORS or monitoring network. Mounted on a tripod with its detachable hook, it can be used as a portable base station for a construction site, survey project, agricultural field, or local engineering job. It can also work as an RTK bridge by receiving correction data through a mobile network and broadcasting those corrections locally to compatible rovers.

This flexibility can be useful for companies that work across different industries or regularly move between permanent and temporary sites. A surveying company may use the receiver in a fixed monitoring installation for one project and then move it to a construction site as a local base for another. A contractor may use it to support several RTK rovers working within the same project area. Agriculture and machine guidance users can also use the receiver as part of a local correction setup when the equipment and correction workflow are properly configured.

Multi-constellation tracking for practical field reliability

The SingularXYZ SV100 uses a 1408-channel GNSS engine and tracks signals from GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, NavIC, and SBAS services. It also supports L-Band services. Tracking multiple satellite systems gives the receiver access to a broader range of positioning signals, which can be helpful when working near buildings, trees, machinery, stockpiles, or other obstructions that reduce the available sky view.

More satellite signals do not remove the need for good antenna placement and a clear installation, but they can improve satellite availability and help the receiver maintain a usable solution in conditions where a receiver tracking fewer systems may have less information to work with. The SV100 also includes multi-frequency signal processing and anti-jamming technology intended to support stable GNSS data in more demanding environments.

Under typical conditions, the receiver is specified to initialize RTK in less than five seconds, with a stated RTK initialization reliability of greater than 99.9 percent. In field terms, this can reduce waiting time when establishing a base-rover connection or checking a new setup. Actual performance will depend on satellite visibility, antenna quality, correction data, baseline length, radio or network conditions, and the surrounding environment.

RTK accuracy for surveying, construction, and engineering work

With RTK corrections and a compatible rover, the SV100 is specified to provide accuracy of 8 mm plus 1 ppm horizontally and 15 mm plus 1 ppm vertically. This level of performance is intended for professional positioning tasks such as site layout, control point work, topographic surveying, construction staking, machine guidance support, asset mapping, and engineering measurements.

The receiver also supports static post-processing, with specified static accuracy of 2.5 mm plus 0.5 ppm horizontally and 5 mm plus 0.5 ppm vertically. This makes the SV100 suitable for projects where raw observation data needs to be recorded for later processing, quality control, monitoring, or establishing more precise control. It can record data in RINEX 3.02, RINEX 3.04, and the proprietary XYZ format, allowing the receiver to fit into different office and field workflows.

For less demanding positioning, the receiver can also provide standalone, DGPS, SBAS, and PPP positioning modes. These options allow the SV100 to be used in different correction environments rather than limiting it to a single RTK configuration.

Flexible communication for base stations and correction networks

Communication options are one of the main strengths of the SV100. The receiver supports 4G mobile communication, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and optional UHF radio. Ethernet and Wi-Fi are useful for fixed installations, office configuration, and network-connected reference stations. The integrated 4G modem can provide mobile internet access where a wired connection is unavailable or where a backup communication path is needed.

For local jobsite use, the optional UHF modem can broadcast correction data directly to compatible GNSS rovers. This can be useful on construction sites, agricultural properties, and remote survey projects where cellular coverage is limited or where a local radio link is preferred. UHF compatibility should be checked before ordering, especially when the receiver will be used with rovers from another manufacturer. Radio frequency, protocol, antenna type, transmit power, terrain, and local regulations all affect the practical working range.

The receiver supports common correction and data communication methods including RTCM versions 3.0 through 3.3, TCP, MQTT, NTRIP Server, and NTRIP Caster functions. These options allow the SV100 to be integrated into standalone base-rover systems, internet-based RTK networks, CORS services, and customized correction data workflows.

For drone mapping teams, the SV100 can serve as part of a ground-based correction setup when the aircraft, onboard GNSS system, correction service, and mapping software are compatible. It is not a complete drone positioning system by itself, but it can provide a reliable correction source for supported aerial surveying and mapping workflows.

Remote configuration through WebUI and Bluetooth

The SV100 can be managed through a web interface accessed over Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Operators can check receiver status, review tracked satellites, view positioning information, configure working modes, manage communication settings, transfer recorded files, and perform system updates. For a permanently installed reference station, this can reduce the need to access the receiver physically every time a setting needs to be checked or changed.

When used as a portable base station, the receiver can also be configured through an Android application using Bluetooth. This gives field crews a practical way to set up or adjust the receiver without carrying a laptop to the tripod. Four LED indicators provide quick information about battery status, satellite tracking, RTK status, and network activity, which helps operators confirm the basic condition of the receiver during installation.

Data recording for monitoring and post-processing

The SV100 includes internal storage for recording GNSS data and supports loop recording. With suitable configuration, the receiver can store observation data for later download through Wi-Fi, USB, or remote network access. This is useful for CORS operators, deformation monitoring teams, survey companies, and engineers who need an archive of GNSS observations rather than only a live position.

Recording settings can be adjusted for the required project, including sample interval, file interval, file format, and manual or automatic recording. When loop recording is enabled, the receiver can continue recording by overwriting the oldest data once storage capacity is reached. This is particularly useful for continuous monitoring installations where uninterrupted operation is more important than retaining every historical file on the receiver itself.

Rugged construction for outdoor field conditions

The SV100 has an aluminium alloy housing with an IP67 rating for protection against dust and temporary water exposure. It is designed to survive a drop of approximately one metre onto concrete and has a MIL-STD-810 vibration rating. These features make it suitable for construction sites, transport between projects, temporary base installations, and outdoor monitoring locations where equipment may be exposed to dust, rain, vibration, and accidental knocks.

The receiver is compact enough for portable work, measuring approximately 162 × 142 × 65 mm including connectors, and weighs about 1.05 kg without the optional internal battery. It is specified for operation from -40°C to 75°C and storage from -55°C to 85°C, with support for high-humidity environments when condensation is avoided. Good antenna installation, secure mounting, and suitable cable protection are still important for reliable long-term operation.

External power and optional battery operation

The SV100 is designed for continuous operation from an external DC power source and has a typical power consumption of approximately 3.5 watts. It accepts a wide input voltage range, making it suitable for integration into fixed installations, vehicle-based systems, site power supplies, and other field power arrangements.

An optional 6600 mAh internal battery is available for setups that need temporary power or protection against short interruptions. With the battery option installed, the receiver can provide up to approximately 13 hours of working time under stated conditions. The battery is not standard on every configuration, so the required power and battery setup should be confirmed when ordering.

Who is the SingularXYZ SV100 suitable for?

The SV100 is best suited to professional users who need a GNSS reference or correction source rather than a simple handheld navigation device. It can be a practical choice for:

• Land surveyors and engineering survey teams establishing temporary or permanent GNSS bases.
• Construction companies supporting multiple RTK rovers on a jobsite.
• Infrastructure and monitoring specialists collecting continuous GNSS data.
• CORS operators and organizations building local correction networks.
• GIS professionals mapping assets and field features with compatible RTK equipment.
• Drone mapping teams requiring a ground-based correction source for supported workflows.
• Precision agriculture and machine guidance users setting up local correction broadcasting.

It is especially useful when a project requires more than one communication method or when the same receiver may need to move between fixed reference-station work and portable base-station duties.

Important setup and compatibility considerations

The SV100 is normally used with an external GNSS antenna, and the antenna, mounting point, cable installation, and surveyed position all influence the quality of the final result. For reference-station and monitoring work, the antenna should be installed securely in a location with a clear view of the sky and minimal multipath from nearby structures or reflective surfaces.

UHF is an optional feature and should be selected according to the rover fleet and correction workflow. The enhanced UHF base configuration is not compatible with every standard UHF rover, while a normal UHF option may be available for broader compatibility. Confirming the required radio protocol, frequency range, antenna arrangement, and rover brand before ordering can help avoid connection problems in the field.

The SV100 is also part of a complete GNSS solution rather than a standalone survey kit. Depending on the application, users may need a compatible antenna, tripod or mounting hardware, rover receiver, controller, field software, SIM card, radio antenna, correction service, or CORS account.
