SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:
TRMB) announced today that its Trimble® VRS
Now™ networks—powered by Trimble Pivot™
Platform software—can now process Galileo observation data in its
network-modeled Virtual Reference Station (VRS) solution. As a true
five-constellation technology using GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS and
now Galileo observations, Trimble VRS Now delivers even better
real-time positioning performance for customers using Trimble
networks throughout much of Europe.
With accessibility to the Galileo constellation, users now have
visibility to more satellites, which can be advantageous in
environments where line of sight may be limited. Surveyors, mapping
and GIS professionals and other industries now have a more
versatile and robust VRS Now correction solution.
Adding Galileo to Trimble VRS Now technology provides
significant benefits by:
- Increasing the number of in-view satellites, improving the
accuracy and reliability of corrections
- Improving positioning integrity using observations from
additional satellites to better mitigate errors
- Operating at higher cut off angles, delivering better
performance in urban canyons and other less than optimal
environments
- Minimizing multipath and interference through the addition of
available satellite signals
"VRS Now Europe is powered by the Trimble Pivot Platform—the
only VRS networking software on the market today capable of using
Galileo observation data—improving positioning performance and
integrity for VRS Now users," said Mark
Richter, director of marketing for Trimble's Networks and
Services business. "No other VRS service provider using
five-constellation support has a larger footprint in Europe."
Availability
Galileo support is available with any Trimble VRS Now
subscription in Belgium, The
Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Great
Britain, Ireland,
Luxembourg, The Netherlands and Sweden using a compatible GNSS receiver or
