A série SP30 da Spherefix recebe certificação de antena NGS

09 de dezembro de 2025

Guangzhou, 2 Nov 2025 – Spherefix, a globally recognized pioneer in GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) technology, is thrilled to share exciting news with the industry and its global customer base: its SP30, SP30SE, and SP30Pro GNSS receiver models have successfully passed the rigorous antenna calibration process conducted by the U.S. National Geodetic Survey (NGS). Notably, this official NGS listing is a significant milestone, as it enables the entire SP30 series to be fully eligible for use on a wide range of projects—including federal, state, and private sector assignments—across regions where NGS phase-center values are a mandatory requirement, such as North America, Oceania, and Latin America.

Furthermore, all three receivers in the SP30 series are equipped with the same high-performance 1408-channel GNSS engine, which is engineered to track all major global and regional satellite signals seamlessly. This includes GPS, BDS (Beidou Navigation Satellite System), GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation System), and NavIC, ensuring consistent and reliable positioning performance even in complex or signal-challenged environments. The receivers deliver exceptional RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) accuracy, boasting a horizontal precision of ±(8 mm + 1 ppm) and a vertical accuracy of ±(15 mm + 1 ppm). Additionally, their tilt compensation function maintains an accuracy of within 2 cm even when the device is tilted up to a 60° angle, enhancing operational flexibility for fieldworkers. Powering these robust capabilities is a 10000 mAh internal battery, which provides over 24 hours of continuous rover operation—eliminating the need for frequent recharging during long workdays. What’s more, integrated 4G cellular connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a 5 W UHF radio offer flexible and stable base-rover communication options, adapting to diverse field conditions.

SP30SE - o especialista em estação base de longo alcance

Weighing in at just 1 kg, the SP30SE is specifically designed to excel as a base station, combining portability with long-range communication capabilities. Its 5 W LoRa radio operates within the 410-470 MHz frequency range, with selectable baud rates of 9600 or 19200 bps to suit different communication needs. Factory-conducted tests have formally verified that the SP30SE can achieve a communication range of up to 16 km, ensuring reliable signal transmission even in large-scale project areas. Importantly, it supports a full suite of industry-standard protocols, including TrimTalk, South, TRANSEOT, and TrimMark3, making it fully compatible with any rover—whether new or existing in a customer’s fleet. This compatibility makes the SP30SE the simplest and most cost-effective solution for adding centimeter-level correction capabilities to mixed rover fleets, streamlining operations and reducing equipment costs.

SP30 - o Rover “See-Measure

The standard SP30 model also weighs 1 kg and comes equipped with the same 5 W radio as the SP30SE, ensuring consistent connectivity. What sets it apart is its integrated millimeter-level laser rangefinder and a 1/3-inch aiming camera, which address common fieldwork challenges. When the pole tip cannot reach hard-to-access areas—such as corners, gutters, or busy roads where placing the pole is unsafe or impossible—the operator simply activates the Laser Survey function. The laser quickly measures the offset distance, while the built-in IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) provides the necessary vector data. The device’s software then automatically computes the exact coordinates of the surveyed point with RTK-class accuracy, eliminating errors and saving valuable field time.

SP30Pro - a estação de trabalho para geração de imagens de RA

The SP30Pro takes functionality to the next level with two high-performance cameras that deliver dual-purpose utility. One is a 1/2.6-inch wide-angle camera optimized for photogrammetry, enabling users to capture high-quality imagery for 3D modeling and mapping applications. The other is an ultra-wide camera module designed specifically for AR (Augmented Reality) stakeout, a feature that revolutionizes field efficiency. Design points are overlaid directly on the live camera feed, guiding the rod-person to walk straight to the exact target spot without the need for manual calculations or guesswork. Best of all, the device’s high-precision IMU ensures that the AR icon remains within certified RTK tolerance at all times, guaranteeing the accuracy of every stakeout.

Finally, the entire SP30 series is built to withstand harsh field conditions, boasting an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance and operating reliably in temperatures ranging from –20 °C to +60 °C. Currently, Spherefix and its global network of authorized partners are offering the SP30 series for sale, making these advanced, NGS-certified receivers accessible to professionals across eligible regions.
