We are proud to introduce the Z-Xtreme™ GPS receiver, a rugged, weatherproof, dual frequency GPS receiver designed to provide surveyors with cost-effective centimeter-accurate positions in a variety of system configurations.

Z-Xtreme: The power to run all day

Batteries are a fact of life for GPS Surveying but they should never be a constraint. With other GPS surveying systems it is often necessary to buy multiple batteries and replace them during the course of a day’s work. The Z-Xtreme’s internal, removable battery lasts all day on a single charge, eliminating extra cost and hassle from field work.

ZX-Solutions™

The Z-Xtreme survey system provides a range of solutions designed for the vast array of positioning needs – from entry level static or kinematic post-processed surveys, all the way up to real-time functions such as stake out. The entry level ZX-Solutions system dramatically increases your productivity for control surveys and other post-processed applications. Add an optional kinematic kit to make topographic feature collection more cost effective. Use Ashtech Solutions ™ software to easily process the field data, export results and generate reports. Purchase only what you need for the job at hand because ZX-Solutions are fully upgradeable.
