Trimble introduces mobile app for survey, mapping and agriculture marketsOct 15, 2013 (MarketLine via COMTEX) -- Trimble, a provider of technology solutions, has introduced the Trimble RTX mobile app, reportedly built to serve end users across the survey, mapping and agriculture markets. Using Android smartphones and tablets, the Trimble RTX app enables the Trimble CenterPoint RTX post-processing service and the RangePoint RTX service activation portal to go mobile. The Trimble RTX app also offers a series of satellite utilities including a skyplot, information regarding satellite status, and signal-to-noise ratio graphs. Powered by Trimble RTX technology, the GPS, GLONASS and QZSS enabled CenterPoint RTX post-processing service delivers better than 2 centimeter (1 inch) accuracy, and improves with larger observation files. With the Trimble RTX app, geospatial professionals using the CenterPoint RTX post-processing functionality can quickly and accurately establish their base station coordinates, reducing setup time to just minutes. In this initial release, the CenterPoint RTX post-processing features include mobile device to GNSS receiver data transfer via Bluetooth; a library of global and regional coordinate systems where users can select the most appropriate system for the job; job progress alerts; in-app reports of processed results; and support for a variety of Trimble receivers including the Trimble R10, the Trimble R8 (Model 4), the Trimble R6 (Model 4), the Trimble NetR9 and the Trimble NetR5. In addition, the Trimble RTX app also allows farmers to activate the Trimble RangePoint RTX correction service directly from the mobile device. Free for one year through 2013, RangePoint RTX delivers better than 15 centimeter (6 inch) pass to pass and 50 centimeter (20 inch) repeatable GNSS accuracy; it is ideal for broad acre agriculture applications. "We are committed to offering new ways of providing high-accuracy positioning," said Patricia Boothe, general manager of Trimble's Positioning Services Division. "With this new mobile app, we are delivering the power of Trimble RTX technology into the palms of our customers' hands." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
