Trimble is now offering a ruggedised controller for surveying purposes

The firm says that the TSC5 combines high performance and dependability so professionals can complete tasks efficiently and accurately.

The Trimble TSC5 features a screen, keypad and all-day battery for reliable field data collection. The ergonomic design is lightweight and suits use in rugged environments. It is resistant to shock, dust and water. The illuminated, anti-glare screen and backlit alphanumeric keypad allow operation in tough conditions, even while wearing gloves. The battery provides all-day power on a single charge, with the optional external battery nearly doubling the power for extended use.

Featuring an Android 10 operating system, the Trimble TSC5 is integrated with Trimble's land and construction surveying instruments and software packages, including Trimble Access 2021 Field Software, and Trimble Siteworks Software. In addition, the controller can be used with Trimble Forensics Capture. The TSC5 is also compatible with the Trimble EMPOWER Module system, which includes the ability to add the EM100 (GNSS), EM11X family (RFID/Barcode) and EM120 (Long Range Radio) modules.
