Description

Compact RTK GNSS Receiver for Everyday Field Surveying

The SphereFix SP35Se GNSS receiver combines multi-constellation RTK positioning, IMU tilt measurement and camera-assisted stakeout in a compact instrument designed for regular field use. It is suitable for construction professionals, land surveyors, GIS teams, utility crews and other users who need dependable centimetre-level coordinates without carrying a heavy receiver.

With a weight of approximately 750 grams, the SP35Se is easy to carry between points and comfortable to use during longer survey sessions. Its magnesium-alloy housing, impact-resistant upper cover and IP68 protection help the receiver handle dust, rain and the normal knocks associated with construction sites and outdoor measurement work.

Multi-Constellation Signal Tracking

The SP35Se uses a 1,408-channel positioning engine capable of tracking signals from GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, SBAS and NavIC. Access to multiple satellite constellations and frequencies improves the number and geometry of available satellites, which can help the receiver obtain and maintain an RTK fixed solution around buildings, trees and other partially obstructed locations.

For the field user, this means less time waiting for a reliable position and more flexibility when working on sites where the sky view is not completely open. The receiver can be used for topographic surveys, point collection, boundary and control work, earthworks, road construction, utility mapping and general setting-out tasks.

Measure Efficiently with IMU Tilt Compensation

The integrated inertial measurement unit allows points to be measured while the survey pole is tilted by up to 60 degrees. Within this operating range, the specified positioning error remains below 2 cm. This is particularly useful when the point is beside a wall, underneath an obstacle, close to machinery or in another location where holding the pole perfectly vertical is difficult.

Tilt measurement can also make routine data collection faster. Operators do not need to watch the pole bubble for every observation, allowing them to focus on the point, feature code and surrounding site conditions. The system is designed for straightforward use without a lengthy manual calibration routine each time work begins.

AR Real-Scene Stakeout

A built-in wide-angle camera supports AR real-scene stakeout. Instead of relying only on arrows, distances and a plan view, the field software can display the target direction over a live view of the site. This provides a more intuitive way to approach a stakeout point and can reduce unnecessary movement when locating design coordinates.

Visual guidance is useful for construction layout, road and utility work, pile positioning and other jobs involving many points. It can also make the workflow easier to understand for operators who use GNSS for setting out but are not full-time surveyors.

Flexible Correction Data and Base Rover Operation

The SP35Se includes 4G mobile data, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and an integrated radio. It can receive network RTK corrections through a SIM card or connected controller, communicate with field software over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and operate with a local GNSS base using the internal radio.

The 410–470 MHz radio supports selectable 0.5 W and 1.5 W transmission power together with several commonly used communication protocols. In suitable open conditions, this gives survey teams the option to establish a local base and rover system where mobile coverage or an NTRIP correction service is unavailable. Actual radio range will depend on antenna placement, terrain, interference and local radio regulations.

Designed for a Full Working Day

The internal 7.4 V 6,500 mAh battery provides more than 16 hours of typical rover operation using a mobile network connection. USB Power Delivery charging supports convenient charging between jobs or from compatible field power equipment. Battery life will vary with radio power, network use, temperature and operating mode.

The receiver also includes 8 GB of internal storage for survey and raw observation data. Rover, base and static operating modes allow the same instrument to be used across different workflows, from everyday RTK measurement to local base setup and post-processing data collection.

Practical Applications

For construction teams, the SP35Se can be used to locate design points, check elevations, record completed work and guide excavation or earthmoving activities. Surveyors can use it for control, detail surveys, topographic work and setting out. GIS and utility teams can capture accurate asset positions, while drone operators can measure ground control points and checkpoints for photogrammetry projects.

Its combination of tilt compensation and visual stakeout is especially useful for teams that need professional GNSS performance in a workflow that remains easy to learn. The receiver offers the flexibility to work with correction networks or a separate local base, making it suitable for both occasional and regular RTK users.
