Z-Xtreme from Ashtech

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: A strong case for a great receiver
The Z-Xtreme is packed with all the great features you’ve come to expect from Ashtech Precision Products — with absolutely no compromise in physical strength or durability. From the removable battery and a standard 16MB PCMCIA memory card which plug-in securely behind a hard sealed door, to the integral LED display and finger-friendly buttons, you can clearly see proof of our commitment to the highest quality.

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.

Z-Xtreme: Instant-RTK™ - Your wait is over
The Ashtech Z-Xtreme combines cutting edge algorithms and an all new hardware platform to dramatically shorten the time needed for RTK ambiguity resolution — with all the same trusted reliability and high accuracy you’ve come to expect from an Ashtech Precision Product.

Z-Xtreme is a rugged, weather-proof, dual-frequency GPS receiver designed to provide Surveyors with cost-effective, centimeter-accurate positions in a variety of system configurations...

Z-Xtreme GPS System from Ashtech

The Receiver
The Z-Xtreme receiver begins with state-of-the-art satellite electronics coupled with Ashtech’s patented Z-Tracking ™ to deliver the highest level of GPS signal commercially available. A removable battery and flash memory card provides enough capacity to last all day for maximum utility. Components are completely integrated inside a weather-proof, high impact plastic housing, ensuring your investment is safe, rain or shine. Use the easy-to-operate interface on the front panel for important functions such as site information entry, checking survey status, and set-up of RTK base stations without the additional cost of a handheld controller. The result: Z-Xtreme with Instant-RTK outperforms all other receivers in its class!

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.

ZX-SuperStation™
Eclipse the productivity of optical instrument stake out with a ZX-SuperStation. The ZX-SuperStation is a field-to-finish turnkey GPS surveying system that combines the Z-Xtreme receiver with a powerful data collector and wireless modems for centimeter accuracy in real-time. Instant-RTK gives you the ability to initialize the centimeter solution in a fraction of the time of conventional RTK systems. Powerful data collection software gives you the ability to efficiently perform GPS surveying techniques and to interface seamlessly with optical total stations.
