The new CORS receiver can support the most demanding applications for the earth science community and for the surveying, construction, mapping and agricultural industries.
Trimble introduced an innovative Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) reference receiver for
infrastructure, precise scientific and network applications-the Trimble NetR9 GNSS reference receiver. The new Continuously
Operating Reference Station (CORS) receiver can support the most
demanding applications for the earth science community and for the surveying,
construction, mapping and agricultural industries. The NetR9 was
designed to provide the user with maximum features and functionality from a
single receiver.
The
Trimble NetR9 reference receiver offers an industry-leading 440
channels for robust, unrivaled GNSS constellation tracking. The
receiver supports a wide range of satellite signals, including GPS
and GLONASS signals. In addition, Trimble is committed to
providing Galileo-compatible products in advance of Galileo system availability.
In support of this plan, the Trimble receiver is capable of tracking the
experimental Galileo GIOVE-A and GIOVE-B test
satellites for signal evaluation and test purposes.
Highly versatile and
offering the complete functionality of a geodetic reference station, the
Trimble NetR9 reference receiver can be used as a standalone
receiver or as part of a network solution. Specific applications include
high-accuracy positioning as part of a Trimble VRS network, as a
mobile field base station or CORS for Real-time Kinematic
(RTK) corrections, as a scientific reference station collecting
information for specialized studies, as a field campaign receiver for
post-processing applications and as support for Differential Global Positioning
System (DGPS) coastal beacons. In addition, the
Trimble NetR9 reference receiver can be used for monitoring the
integrity of VRS networks as well as the deformation of physical
infrastructure such as bridges, dams, mines, oil platforms and other natural and
manmade structures.
The
Trimble NetR9 reference receiver's large internal memory (8 GB)
allows post-processed results for base stations to be computed after survey
completion, improving the accuracy of the survey. The highly compressed secure
internal memory allows for more than 20 years of 15-second dual-frequency GPS
data storage. In addition, the NetR9 also has USB logging
capability for additional storage capacity.
The receiver supports the
new CMRx communications protocol, which provides unprecedented
correction compression for optimized bandwidth and full utilization of all
satellites in view. This gives the customer more robust positioning data and the
most reliable positioning performance on the market today.
Optimized for field use with
built-in rechargeable batteries, the lightweight yet rugged
Trimble NetR9 reference receiver consumes very little power and
can be used for projects with remote connectivity and in extreme weather
conditions. It has an IP67 rating, which means it is completely
sealed against dust and can survive immersion in up to a meter of water for
approximately 30 minutes. It also meets MIL-STD 810F standard for
drops, vibration and temperature extremes. The Trimble NetR9 has
its physical memory built into the circuit board, providing greater protection
of data, particularly under extreme conditions. Multiple built-in serial ports
supply communications and power to support field use, whether connecting to a
radio for RTK surveys, direct communication with a satellite phone
for remote operations, or for ancillary input devices such as inclinometers and
meteorological sensors, and it offers Bluetooth communication with a cell phone
for real-time data streaming. In addition, both power and Ethernet can be
conveniently supplied over a single cable using Power over Ethernet
(PoE) technology.
"The
Trimble NetR9 reference receiver raises the bar for today's
modern infrastructure technology," said Pierre Desjardins, general manager for
Trimble's Infrastructure Division. "Trimble has once again redefined the
industry standard for ultra-fast, high-reliability, multi-constellation
reference receivers, providing our customers the flexibility required for today
and tomorrow's challenges. Trimble is committed to developing complete solutions
with the latest GNSS technology that meet the complex needs of our
customers."
The
Trimble NetR9 reference receiver is available in the second
quarter of 2010. For more information, visit: www.trimble.com, call 1-800-767-4822
