Leica ICG160 900Mhz Smart Antenna

The Leica iCG160 900 MHz Smart Antenna, part of the Leica iCON gps 160 family, is a GNSS positioning instrument designed for construction and site measurement. It combines satellite positioning and communication technology in a compact unit, helping crews determine coordinates and elevations for layout, grade checks, and documentation of completed work.

The 900 MHz designation refers to its radio communication capability, used to exchange positioning corrections with compatible equipment. These corrections support real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning for precise field measurements. The radio frequency identifies the communication link, rather than the satellite signals used to calculate position; Leica specifies 900 MHz availability for the United States and Canada.

The iCG160 can operate as a rover, base station, or positioning sensor for supported vehicle and machine applications. As a rover, it helps crews measure points and stake out designs. As a base station, it supplies corrections to compatible receivers working nearby, supporting consistent positioning across a jobsite.

An integrated color display allows operators to configure the antenna and check its status without additional hardware for basic setup. Selected configurations also offer calibration-free tilt compensation, allowing measurement and stakeout with a tilted survey pole. That capability depends on the unit’s installed options.

Built with a rugged aluminum housing and IP66/IP67 protection, the iCG160 is designed for demanding construction environments. It integrates with Leica iCON field software and controllers, giving teams a flexible tool for site positioning, as-built checks, and basic machine guidance. Its available functions depend on the receiver configuration, licenses, and connected equipment.
