New system levels up with seamless
connectivity, market-leading technology and total confidence in
a fully-integrated, easy-to-use solution
WESTMINSTER, Colo., June 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) has
introduced the Trimble R980 GNSS system, the newest addition to its
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver portfolio.
Building upon premium features available on Trimble's latest
receiver models, including the Trimble ProPoint®
positioning engine, the new R980 adds several new elements
including upgraded communication capabilities to support
uninterrupted field operations.
The Trimble R980 brings together several top Trimble GNSS
technologies to create an indispensable tool for land surveying,
transportation infrastructure, construction, energy, oil and gas,
utilities and mining projects. Well-established features include
Trimble's unrivaled ProPoint GNSS positioning engine and Inertial
Measurement Unit (IMU)-based tilt compensation using Trimble
TIP™ technology. These features make it possible to work in
dense urban environments and under tree canopy, removing the need
to level the pole when capturing data points.
Connectivity Built for Anywhere
Underlining the
importance of hardware connectivity, the R980's 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. Able to operate on 450 MHz, 900 MHz or LTE
bands, users have flexibility in how they receive and transmit RTK
corrections. This allows users to choose the method that best suits
their needs or as dictated by site conditions. Work can now get
done in more varied environments — regardless of available GNSS
infrastructure — while minimizing the complexity associated with
radio licensing requirements. Operating in both 450 MHz and 900 MHz
bands also allows for greater interoperability with a wider range
of existing industry solutions. The LTE modem replaces the 3G
version in prior receiver models, removing possible work
disruptions as 2G and 3G networks become obsolete.
The Trimble R980 also supports the Trimble Internet Base Station
Service (IBSS) for streaming RTK corrections using Trimble Access™
field software. This feature introduces new connected workflows,
enabling greater ease of use and enhanced productivity by making it
possible to collect data without disruption caused by physical
radio limitations. This, combined with the LTE modem and dual-band
UHF radio, provides greater flexibility for the user.
Real-Time Precise Point Positioning Included
A
12-month subscription to Trimble CenterPoint® RTX
real-time corrections, delivered via satellite or internet, is
included on new R980 receivers. This provides unrivaled accuracy
and reliability without the need for a local base station or VRS
network. The service provides centimeter-level corrections and is
complemented by the Trimble xFill® correction service
that extends RTK positioning during signal interruptions. The
back-up coverage and 24/7/365 support ensure continuous access to
reliable results and accurate corrections.
Signal Disruption Mitigation and Comprehensive Satellite
Support
The R980 also includes the newly introduced Trimble
IonoGuard™ technology, which mitigates ionospheric
disturbances for RTK GNSS, and Trimble
Everest™ Plus for advanced multipath
mitigation performance. IonoGuard technology significantly improves
positioning availability and robustness in periods of increased
solar activity, such as the recent G5 geomagnetic storms that
occurred around the world.
"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."

The Trimble R980 GNSS system is available
now through the Trimble geospatial distributor channel. Optional
Trimble Protected Plus and Premium protection plans are also
offered. For more information, contact a local Trimble geospatial
