Why a GNSS Hardware Manufacturer Built a Custom Station for onocoy
When a hardware manufacturer builds a general-purpose product and lists it as "compatible" with various networks, that's business as usual. When they design a product from scratch for a specific network, that's a different signal entirely.
Sixents Technology, a Beijing-based positioning solutions provider, built the G20 Multi-band GNSS Base Station specifically for onocoy. Not adapted. Not retrofitted. Purpose-built, from the ground up, for the onocoy correction data network.
That decision tells you something about where the ecosystem is heading.
Who Sixents Is
Sixents Technology is a professional positioning solution provider based in Beijing, specializing in high-precision positioning services, GNSS and IMU terminals, communication and navigation systems, and scenario-based solutions for smart vehicles and IoT. They serve the automotive, logistics, and IoT sectors, a company with deep roots in precision positioning, not a startup experimenting with a new market.
When Sixents looked at onocoy's mission to build the world's largest decentralized GNSS correction data network, they recognized the importance of what's being built and decided to contribute to the ecosystem with a dedicated product. The result is the G20.
What the G20 Is
The G20 is a multi-frequency, geodetic-grade GNSS base station built for high-quality correction data delivery.
Core specs:
1,040 tracking channels across five core constellations — GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS — plus NavIC L5
Full signal support: GPS L1C/A, L1C, L2C, L5 | Galileo E1, E5a, E5b, E6 | BDS B1I, B1C, B2I, B2a, B2b, B3I | GLONASS L1C/A, L2C/A | QZSS L1C/A, L2C, L5 | NavIC L5
Built-in NTRIP server, onocoy-ready out of the box
Connectivity: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, LoRa (868 MHz), optional 4G
Web-based graphical interface for configuration and management
236 g weight, 120 × 88 × 38 mm, max 3.5 W power consumption
The full bundle ships with the G20 receiver, a GNSS antenna, cables, power supply, and a mounting kit. Plug it in, configure it through the web interface, and it's streaming correction data to the onocoy network.
The "onocoy-ready" part matters. The built-in NTRIP server means there's no additional software layer, no middleware, no manual protocol configuration. The station connects to onocoy's network natively.
Why This Is Different From "Compatible"
onocoy is hardware-agnostic. Any compatible GNSS reference station can join the network. That's by design, and it's a strength. Operators choose from Septentrio, ArduSimple, Kindhelm, and others based on their needs and budget.
The G20 occupies a different position. Sixents didn't take an existing product and add onocoy compatibility. They designed the G20 around what the onocoy network needs: high channel count for maximum signal tracking, full multi-constellation support for the highest possible quality scores, a built-in NTRIP server for zero-friction onboarding, and a price point that makes the deployment economics work.
The station was optimized to produce high quality scores from day one. For operators, that translates directly into higher daily rewards, because onocoy's reward mechanism weights data quality heavily.
What This Signals About the Ecosystem
A hardware manufacturer investing in a purpose-built product for a network tells you several things.
First, Sixents sees the commercial demand. onocoy’s B2B revenue has been growing consistently. That revenue trajectory is what makes building a dedicated station a rational business decision.
Second, the supply side is maturing. The onocoy hardware ecosystem now includes manufacturers who are building specifically for the network, not just making their existing products compatible. That's a different level of commitment and a signal the ecosystem has moved past the early-adopter phase.
Third, pricing reflects scale ambitions. The G20 is priced at $649 for the full bundle, with a pre-launch promotion at $549. That's competitive with existing options while including everything needed for deployment. No separate antenna purchase, no additional accessories.
Key Takeaways
Sixents Technology designed the G20 Multi-band GNSS Base Station specifically for the onocoy network. Purpose-built, not retrofitted.
The G20 tracks all signals from GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, Glonass, QZSS and Navic signals in 4 band.
Full bundle pricing: $649 regular, $549 pre-launch promotion. Includes receiver, antenna, cables, power supply, and mounting kit.
A hardware manufacturer building a dedicated product for onocoy signals ecosystem maturity and confidence in the network's commercial trajectory.
What This Means for Operators
If you're evaluating a new station deployment, the G20 is designed to produce high quality scores from the start with minimal setup friction. The built-in NTRIP server and web interface mean you're streaming correction data to the network within minutes of powering on.
The hardware partner ecosystem keeps expanding. Every new manufacturer building for the network makes it easier for the next wave of operators to deploy.
