NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The rise of cellular corrected navigation tools has expanded the precision possibilities for producers.
Trimble has added its version with the GPS and GLONASS enabled correction service, which the Colorado company calls Centerpoint RTX.
Using the Trimble DCM-300 modem, the system delivers better than four centimetre accuracy in real time. The system offers similar performance to a real time kinetics system, which uses a reference base station to get its correction.
Patricia Boothe of Trimble said the system fills out the company’s offerings, which include Omnistar, VBS, VRS, HP, XP and G2 correction systems.
The cellular system requires the DCM-300 modem and a cellular data plan from a local provider. It is compatible with the Trimble CFX-750 and the FmX displays and the AG-372 receiver.
The system covered a large portion of North America when it was first released last year. Australia was added next and then the rest of the globe this winter.
