[{"type":"text","content":"New system levels up with seamless connectivity, market-leading technology and total confidence in a fully-integrated, easy-to-use solution\nWESTMINSTER, 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.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nThe 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.\nConnectivity Built for AnywhereUnderlining 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.\nThe 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 productivit...
