Guangzhou April 29, 2025 — Spherefix, a rising force in GNSS innovation, proudly launches the S66UGH-Lite GNSS Receiver, a compact yet powerful device specifically engineered for Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) networks and Beidou ground-based augmentation systems. With its high-precision capabilities, advanced connectivity, and rugged design, the S66UGH-Lite is set to redefine how positioning infrastructure is deployed and managed.

Designed for the Future of CORS Networks

The S66UGH-Lite is purpose-built for establishing or expanding CORS networks, which serve as the foundation for real-time, high-accuracy positioning services across a wide geographic area. By installing fixed reference stations like the S66UGH-Lite, users can eliminate the need for traditional local base stations, reducing hardware investment and operational complexity.

Instead of equipping every survey team or autonomous system with a dedicated base station, users can simply deploy rover receivers that connect to the nearest CORS base over cellular or internet networks. This model dramatically lowers deployment costs, improves operational efficiency, and enhances scalability for large projects or distributed fleets.

Key Applications of CORS Networks

Land and Construction Surveying

Precision Agriculture

Autonomous Vehicles and Robotics

Smart City Infrastructure

Disaster Monitoring and Geohazard Detection

With a high-quality receiver like the S66UGH-Lite as the cornerstone of the network, customers can deliver RTK corrections, enhance positional integrity, and ensure continuous data availability for mission-critical systems.

Full-System, High-Channel GNSS Tracking

Equipped with 1408 tracking channels, the S66UGH-Lite supports BDS, GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, and SBAS, ensuring unmatched signal acquisition and positioning precision, even in complex environments.

Embedded Linux Platform and Remote Control

Running on a Linux operating system and powered by an ARM Cortex-A7 processor, the device allows advanced secondary development and remote management. Through cloud connectivity, customers can monitor station health, push firmware updates, retrieve logged data, and even restart or configure the device — all without visiting the site.

Built to Last, Built to Scale

With a magnesium alloy housing and IP68 rating, the S66UGH-Lite is engineered for 24/7 outdoor operation in extreme conditions, from –40°C to +85°C. Its 32GB internal storage and support for continuous circular logging make it ideal for long-term deployments in nationwide or regional GNSS infrastructures.

Flexible Communication and Integration

Supporting Ethernet, serial, USB, and 4G LTE, the receiver ensures robust and adaptable connectivity for data transmission and Ntrip access. It integrates smoothly into both new and existing CORS networks and supports flexible mounting and data flow configurations.
