Trimble Takes Ultra Rugged to the Next Level with New GNSS Smart Antenna for Heavy Civil Construction

April 18, 2012

The SPS985 is the smallest and toughest GNSS receiver Trimble has ever built. With its enhanced internal shock isolation, the SPS985 is built for high-vibration use on an all-terrain vehicle (ATV), quad bike or supervisor truck. User-friendly features such as integrated Wi-Fi and wideband radio communications, quick release connector, and smart phone configuration make it easy to use as a pole-mounted rover or base station.

    Trimble has developed a new SPS986 GPS receiver/antenna unit that offers increased capabilities over earlier generation units. “It has updated boards inside and gives a GPS position,” said Martin Wagener, worldwide product implementation manager. An important feature is its new sensor and Wagener said, “It has an internal angle sensor called eBubble.” This detects if the mast is at an angle when taking measurements and automatically corrects the reading to take account of the degree of tilt, boosting

    Innovations in construction software are helping boost project efficiency and optimising project operations – Clive Davidson writes Over the past decade, while construction engineers have been putting up buildings or infrastructure, software engineers have been developing a parallel universe where virtual buildings or infrastructure can be created in ever increasing detail. What started with 2D architectural drawings in computer-aided design (CAD) systems, has become a multi-dimensional world, with 3D ge
