Leica iCG60

The Leica iCON iCG60 is a versatile and highly robust GNSS smart antenna specifically engineered for the construction industry. Designed to act as a reliable mobile base station or a high-performance rover, it provides millimetre-perfect positioning for site supervisors and groundworks teams without the need for complex setup.

Multi-Purpose Functionality enables the unit to switch seamlessly between a dedicated mobile base station, a site rover, or a machine-mounted sensor.
Controller-Free Base Setup utilizes the integrated display and function keys to start a base station without the need for an external field controller.
Advanced GNSS Tracking supports 555 channels to monitor all available satellite signals including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou for maximum uptime.
Rugged IP67 Construction provides a completely waterproof and dust-tight housing that can withstand toppling from a 2-meter pole onto hard surfaces.

FAQs

Can the Leica iCG60 be used without a field controller?

Yes, one of its standout features is the ability to set up as a mobile base station using the on-board display and buttons, which saves time and reduces the amount of equipment needed on-site.

How does the iCG60 handle loss of signal in difficult areas?

The unit features SmartLink technology, which can bridge RTK communication gaps for up to 10 minutes, allowing you to maintain high-accuracy positioning even if you lose your correction link.

What is the difference between the iCG60 and the iCG70?

The iCG60 is a classic, robust workhorse with an on-board screen, whereas the iCG70 is more compact and offers permanent tilt compensation, allowing you to measure without levelling the pole.

Is it possible to hire the Leica iCG60 or have my antenna serviced at PQS Survey?

Yes, we provide the iCG60 for hire as both base and rover kits, and our specialist workshops offer full technical support, firmware updates, and calibration for your GNSS equipment.

Can the iCG60 be used for machine control applications?

Yes, it is designed to be versatile enough for entry-level machine control, often mounted on supervisor vehicles or small plant machinery to monitor grades across the site. Please take a look at our machine control section on this site for more information.

How long does the internal battery last?

The high-capacity Li-Ion battery typically provides over 5 hours of continuous operation when receiving RTK data via the internal radio, and it can be easily swapped for a fresh cell.

Is the unit future-proofed for new satellite systems?

Yes, the SmartTrack+ technology is designed to evolve, ensuring the antenna remains compatible with all planned satellite constellation updates.

What kind of accuracy can I expect on a typical site?

When used in RTK mode with a reliable correction source, the iCG60 typically achieves a horizontal accuracy of 8mm + 1ppm and a vertical accuracy of 15mm + 1ppm.

Does it support internet-based corrections like SmartNet?

Yes, the integrated 4G modem allows the iCG60 to connect directly to RTK network services such as Leica SmartNet, removing the need for a physical base station on many projects.

How durable is the iCG60 for UK groundworks?

The unit is rated to IP67 and is tested against military-grade vibrations and drops, making it one of the most robust GNSS antennas available for heavy construction environments.
