The Trimble R980 GNSS system includes upgraded communication capabilities to support uninterrupted field operations for Geospatial Professionals
The R980 builds on Trimble’s Global Navigation Satellite System receiver portfolio, combining several Trimble GNSS technologies to create a tool for land surveying, transportation infrastructure, construction, energy, oil and gas, utilities, and mining projects.
Features include Trimble’s ProPoint GNSS positioning engine and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)-based tilt compensation using Trimble TIP™ technology, making it possible to work in dense urban environments and under tree canopy, removing the need to level the pole when capturing data points.
Greater work productivity for Geospatial Professionals
The communication capabilities include a dual-band UHF radio and an integrated worldwide LTE modem for receiving corrections from a local base station or VRS network. The LTE modem replaces the 3G version in prior receiver models, removing possible work disruptions. It also supports the Trimble Internet Base Station Service (IBSS) for streaming RTK corrections using Trimble Access™ field software.
It introduces new connected workflows, enabling greater ease of use and enhanced productivity by allowing data to be collected without disruption caused by physical radio limitations.
“The new features of the R980, built on top of the proven Trimble R12i track record, deliver productivity gains that translate to cost and time savings. Our customers count on us to provide the highest levels of performance and reliability, and we will always strive to improve those gains day after day, year after year,” said Boris Skopljak, vice president, geospatial at Trimble.
“With more options to choose the best method for collecting data, more efficient workflows made possible in more locations, and trusted results, the R980 is ideal for the most demanding survey tasks. With the launch of the R980, along with the recently released Trimble R580, Trimble R780 model 2 and the Trimble Catalyst® solution, Trimble offers a complete GNSS system portfolio designed to meet the varying needs of our customers.”
