The SpatiX Global Field Test Program invites a small group of experts to validate the SpatiX Positioning Service in demanding, real-world conditions. Selected participants run structured tests, submit detailed reports, and in return can earn a 1‑year SpatiX service reward valued at US$499.
This program is not a generic beta. It is designed to stress‑test global PPP / PPP‑RTK style services under conditions that match real deployments: urban canyons, open-sky highways, offshore work, large construction sites, farms, ports, and mines. Academic and industry studies of Trimble RTX and comparable services have shown repeatable horizontal errors around 3–4 cm in open sky and under 10 cm in dynamic use when configured correctly.
To capture similar evidence for SpatiX, the program focuses on high-quality logs and repeatable methods, not just screenshots. Participants are expected to document test locations, reference coordinates or baselines, satellite visibility, convergence times, and the statistical distribution of errors (for example, 95% horizontal error over a 30–60 minute test).
The SpatiX Global Field Test Program is aimed at practitioners who already work with high-precision GNSS and can run disciplined experiments. Only three participants per country will be accepted on a first‑come, first‑served basis, so the selection focuses on capability and use‑case fit.
Ideal applicants include surveyors building or operating CORS networks, construction and civil engineering teams relying on centimeter‑grade machine guidance, precision agriculture integrators, marine and offshore positioning engineers, and robotics or autonomous vehicle teams. For example, a solar farm EPC using RTK today could validate whether SpatiX maintains <5 cm horizontal RMS across a 50+ hectare site with sparse cellular coverage.
Researchers working on PPP / PPP‑RTK algorithms or GNSS performance evaluation are also strong candidates, especially if they can compare SpatiX against other services or local RTK baselines. Prior experience with RINEX logging, PPP tools (such as CSRS‑PPP or PRIDE PPP‑AR), or GNSS quality control will significantly strengthen an application.
A strong SpatiX Positioning Service test plan focuses on environments and metrics where global corrections matter most. Your first step should be defining target accuracy, initialization times, and continuity thresholds that match your application, then designing routes or static points that expose the system’s limits.
For static tests, many PPP and PPP‑RTK studies show that 2‑hour sessions can reliably achieve ~2 cm horizontal and <5 cm vertical accuracy under good sky visibility when using high-quality corrections. You can mirror this by establishing control points (from RTK or total station) and logging continuous SpatiX data at each point, then computing RMS, 95th percentile error, and convergence time.
For kinematic tests—such as vehicles, vessels, or robots—plan repeatable runs that traverse open sky, partial obstruction, and short GNSS outages (for example, passing under bridges or tree tunnels). Recent research on PPP‑RTK for inland vessels demonstrated that well‑designed corrections can return to <10 cm horizontal accuracy within 10–30 seconds after a blockage; similar scenarios are ideal for SpatiX evaluation.
The SpatiX Global Field Test Program is structured so that your data feeds directly into product improvements. High-quality reports and logs help quantify accuracy, robustness, and convergence across continents, industries, and GNSS environments that internal lab tests cannot fully replicate.
By comparing SpatiX results against local RTK networks, CORS references, or trusted PPP solutions from sources such as national geodetic agencies, your tests reveal where SpatiX already meets 3–4 cm horizontal accuracy and where algorithms or correction coverage must improve. For instance, a multi‑GNSS test in mixed urban/suburban terrain might show that 90% of epochs stay within 8 cm horizontally but vertical performance degrades near high‑rise structures.
In return for this level of rigor, accepted participants can earn a one‑year SpatiX Positioning Service subscription (US$499 value) when they submit a complete, high‑quality report.
