SpatiX Launches iStation Pro: A New Generation GNSS Infrastructure Platform for Global RTK Networks
As demand for high-precision positioning continues to grow across surveying, construction, precision agriculture, intelligent transportation, and autonomous systems, organizations are increasingly seeking reliable and scalable infrastructure for RTK correction services and GNSS positioning networks.
To address these needs, SpatiX introduces iStation Pro, a next-generation GNSS infrastructure platform designed to simplify the deployment, operation, and management of high-precision positioning networks worldwide.
Built on a fully integrated architecture, iStation Pro combines GNSS data acquisition, communication, power management, cybersecurity, and network monitoring into a single device, helping organizations deploy reliable positioning infrastructure faster while reducing operational costs.
Built for Modern GNSS Network Deployment
Traditional reference station deployments often require multiple hardware devices, complex integration, and ongoing maintenance.
iStation Pro replaces this fragmented approach with an all-in-one solution designed for modern GNSS service providers, surveying agencies, utility operators, and infrastructure owners.
The platform supports:
- RTK correction networks
- CORS network deployment
- National and regional positioning services
- Surveying and mapping infrastructure
- Smart city positioning systems
- Utility and power monitoring networks
- Intelligent transportation applications
By simplifying station deployment and management, organizations can accelerate network expansion while maintaining service reliability.
High Availability Through Multi-Layer Redundancy
Reliable positioning services require reliable infrastructure.
To ensure continuous operation, iStation Pro incorporates redundancy across key system components:
Communication Redundancy
Automatic switching between:
- Ethernet
- Fiber
- Wi-Fi
- 4G/5G cellular networks
GNSS Processing Redundancy
Dual GNSS board architecture provides backup satellite signal processing, ensuring stable operation even if one module encounters issues.
Power Redundancy
The system supports both external power supply and an integrated backup battery capable of maintaining operation for more than 30 hours during power outages.
Together, these features help ensure uninterrupted positioning services for mission-critical applications.
Integrated Design Reduces Deployment and Maintenance Costs
iStation Pro is designed to simplify every stage of infrastructure deployment.
The platform integrates:
- GNSS reference station functionality
- Secure communication modules
- Firewall protection
- Environmental monitoring
- Power management
- Large-capacity backup battery
- Visualized remote management
Housed in an IP68-rated enclosure, the system is built for long-term outdoor deployment in harsh environments.
Compared with traditional reference station solutions, organizations can benefit from:
- Faster installation
- Lower maintenance requirements
- Reduced failure rates
- Lower total cost of ownership
Secure Positioning Infrastructure for Critical Applications
As positioning services become increasingly important for public infrastructure and industrial operations, security is no longer optional.
iStation Pro incorporates end-to-end security mechanisms that protect positioning data throughout transmission, processing, storage, and distribution.
The platform is designed to support industries where reliability and data protection are essential, including:
- Geospatial services
- Government infrastructure
- Utilities and energy
- Transportation
- Public safety
- Smart city projects
From Single Stations to Nationwide RTK Networks
The true value of positioning infrastructure lies in network scalability.
When multiple iStation Pro units are connected through SpatiX network management software, they form a unified high-precision positioning network capable of serving large geographic areas.
Key benefits include:
Expanded Coverage
Additional stations increase service coverage and improve correction availability.
Improved Reliability
Network-level redundancy enhances service continuity.
Unified Coordinate Reference
A centralized processing architecture ensures consistent positioning performance across the entire network, eliminating coordinate inconsistencies between individual stations.
This approach allows organizations to evolve from operating isolated reference stations to managing a complete RTK correction service network.
Proven Through Large-Scale Deployment Experience
The technologies behind iStation Pro are built upon years of experience in GNSS network construction and operation.
The underlying infrastructure has supported large-scale positioning services across multiple industries, including:
- Surveying and mapping
- Precision agriculture
- Construction
- Intelligent transportation
- Connected vehicles
- UAV and drone operations
- Smart infrastructure projects
This operational experience enables organizations to deploy high-performance positioning networks with confidence.
Supporting Global Positioning Infrastructure Development
iStation Pro is already supporting positioning network deployments in multiple regions, including Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific.
The platform helps organizations establish:
- Regional RTK networks
- CORS infrastructure
- Surveying reference networks
- Enterprise positioning services
- Industry-specific high-precision GNSS solutions
Whether supporting land surveying, machine automation, infrastructure monitoring, or digital transformation initiatives, iStation Pro provides a scalable foundation for next-generation positioning services.
Building the Future of Location Intelligence
As industries become increasingly dependent on precise positioning, timing, and navigation capabilities, the need for reliable infrastructure continues to grow.
With the launch of iStation Pro, SpatiX is expanding its portfolio of high-precision positioning solutions and enabling organizations worldwide to build secure, scalable, and cost-effective GNSS service networks.
By combining integrated hardware, advanced network capabilities, and proven operational expertise, iStation Pro helps bring reliable centimeter-level positioning services to more industries and more regions around the world.
