SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ:TRMB) introduced today a new family of Trimble®
BD GNSS boards for high-precision guidance and control
applications. The BD boards' simple connectivity and configuration
allow system integrators and OEMs to easily add GNSS positioning
and orientation—with the ability to upgrade its capabilities—using
the same board footprint, connectors and software interface for
specialized and custom hardware solutions.
The compact Trimble BD boards include a broad range of receiver
capabilities, from high-accuracy GNSS only to full GNSS-Inertial
features for positioning and 3-D orientation. Firmware options are
upgradeable, allowing functionality to be added as requirements
change. Product manufacturers in markets such as unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs), autonomous vehicles, fleet management and aviation
now have the ability to offer customers an extensive range of
capabilities to meet all their needs.
The low-power BD family of boards includes the BD940 GNSS and
GNSS-Inertial boards and all new top-of-the-line BD990 GNSS,
GNSS-Heading and GNSS-Inertial boards, enabling customers to choose
the most appropriate receiver for their applications. In addition,
the BX940 and BX992 are available in a rugged enclosure for
applications used in harsh environments.
Integrating Trimble RTX™ technology, which enables precise and
robust location worldwide without the use of a base station, the BD
boards are ideal for flexible positioning. Trimble RTX technology
enables users to subscribe to a complete portfolio of real-time
correction services that deliver varying levels of accuracy
depending on the user's application requirements.
The new BD family incorporates the latest Trimble Maxwell™
technology with advances in high-precision GNSS-Inertial
positioning. By integrating inertial sensors onto the GNSS boards,
users can experience more robust performance in a variety of
challenging environments such as urban canyons, tunnels, heavy
canopy or other GNSS-denied environments. Robust centimeter-level,
real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning is achieved through the
combination of multi-frequency GNSS—full triple-frequency support
of all available GNSS satellite constellations—and onboard inertial
sensors. System integrators and OEMS also have the ability to
detect interference with the included RF Spectrum Monitoring and
Analysis tool embedded in the receiver. The GNSS engine with 336
channels is capable of tracking L1/L2/L5 frequencies from the GPS,
GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou constellations.
"The OEM and system integrator communities demand high
performance, reliability and support for their positioning
solutions," said Elmar Lenz, general
manager of Trimble's Integrated Technologies Division. "The new BD
family of boards deliver the latest GNSS and inertial technology in
an easy-to-integrate form factor."
The new Trimble BD OEM GNSS family is available now through
Trimble's Integrated Technologies Precision GNSS Sales Channel.
