Trimble introduces always-on positioning for agriculture

Trimble has announced always-on, integrated Precise Point Positioning for its agricultural services, combining Trimble CenterPoint RTX and the NAV-900 guidance controller.

Always-on CenterPoint RTX corrections are now part of Trimble’s subscription bundle activated in its GNSS receiver. This system enables farmers to receive field-corrections on most agricultural vehicles compatible with the NAV-900, with accuracy levels down to nearly two centimeters.

The CenterPoint RTX service is designed to achieve real-time kinematic positioning without a local base station, allowing farmers to choose how they obtain corrections data. Data is available through satellite L-band or cellular IP, with corrections available worldwide through use of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BDS-III satellites. 

Availability

The new service will be available with a free one-year subscription after purchase of a new NAV-900 controller and GFX display. Following the 365-day trial period, farmers will be able to renew access to the service with an annual subscription fee. 

“This integrated solution gives customers the opportunity to easily see the return on investment of Trimble RTX without risk and features a subscription model that saves customers hassle, time, and money,” says Olivier Casabianca, vice president, Trimble Positioning Services.
