In modern GNSS surveying, stakeout tasks typically rely on maps with known coordinates. However, in some countries like the United States, Canada, or parts of Europe — especially when working with legacy survey maps, forestry records, or cadastral plans — point positions are are described not by coordinates, but by their azimuth and distance relationships.

To verify the real-world performance of the SV100 INS Series receivers in various GNSS-challenged environments, SingularXYZ conducted a structured dynamic vehicle test through diverse urban and semi-enclosed scenarios. This test focused on evaluating positioning accuracy, attitude stability, and robustness during GNSS outages.

In the previous blog, we explored the communication system built into the mainboard of an RTK GNSS receiver — detailing how it supports data transmission through various wireless and wired interfaces. Continuing this series, today's blog will focus on the main functional modules integrated into the receiver's mainboard. These components are crucial for achieving high-precision positioning and enabling smart field applications.

In our earlier blog, we explored the overall structure of RTK GNSS receivers and mentioned the mainboard as one of the core components. The mainboard itself integrates various elements, such as the GNSS module, system platform, functional modules, and communication systems. In this blog, we’ll focus specifically on the communication systems built into the mainboard. Other parts will be discussed in future posts in this series.

When using an auto-steering system in the field, sometimes you may encounter areas without network coverage or RTK base. In such cases, you may still want to continue working without interruption. That's where PPP (Precise Point Positioning) comes in.

Most surveyors are well-acquainted with the various models and features of GNSS receivers—but have you ever wondered what's hidden inside that compact and rugged housing? Despite differences in shape or manufacturer, most GNSS RTK receivers share a common internal architecture designed to ensure optimal performance in signal tracking, processing, and power management.
