Trimble GNSS correction sources provide the accuracy and reliability required for modern construction workflows. These technologies include Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), Trimble VRS Now™, and CenterPoint® RTX, each offering centimeter-level precision for positioning and navigation. Correction signals can be delivered via satellite, internet, or radio, ensuring flexibility across diverse jobsite conditions. By minimizing positioning errors, these solutions enhance productivity, reduce rework, and support efficient machine control and surveying operations.
The Trimble Internet Base Station Service (IBSS) enables the transmission of Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) or Differential GNSS (DGNSS) correction data from a base station over the internet using Wi-Fi or cellular networks. This approach extends the effective range of high-precision GNSS positioning and machine control beyond the limitations of traditional UHF radio links. IBSS also serves as a valuable supplement in areas where UHF coverage is limited, offering a more flexible and cost-effective solution for maintaining reliable connectivity across the construction site.
The Trimble® SPS855 GNSS Modular Receiver is designed for use as a permanent or semi-permanent base station, making it ideal for large-scale construction sites that require both site positioning and machine control. This versatile receiver supports a range of configurations and can be paired with an external antenna of your choice to complete a customized base station setup. Its robust design and flexible deployment options make it a reliable solution for maintaining high-accuracy GNSS corrections across complex jobsite environments.
Trimble VRS Now is a Network RTK subscription service that delivers high-precision GNSS corrections via the internet over a cellular connection. Designed for construction environments where setting up a physical base station is impractical—such as sites without machine control or during early reconnaissance—VRS Now provides a flexible and efficient alternative. By leveraging Trimble’s advanced VRS technology, users can access centimeter-level accuracy on demand, anywhere within the supported reference station network. The service requires an internet-connected rover and offers a cost-effective, user-friendly solution that is continuously available and ready to support a wide range of positioning tasks.
Trimble CenterPoint RTX is a high-performance GNSS correction service that delivers RTK-level accuracy via satellite or cellular connection, making it ideal for construction sites around the world. The service operates in real time using geo-stationary L-band satellites, with corrections received directly by a Trimble GNSS Antenna or GNSS Smart Antenna. This eliminates the need for UHF radios or cellular network infrastructure, offering a reliable, always-on solution for precise positioning. CenterPoint RTX is especially valuable in remote or challenging environments where traditional correction methods may be limited.
