Trimble Launches R780 GNSS Smart Antenna

Trimble has introduced a new version of the R780 GNSS Smart Antenna for construction site positioning. This solution is designed for surveyors working in jobsites.

Features

The following features now come standard with the R780:

• A dual-band radio (450/900 MHz) that connects to diverse base stations and jobsites without additional external radios.
• The dual Trimble Maxwell 7 GNSS ASIC chip that enables performance in challenging GNSS environments (blocked sky, multi-path or degraded signal) and provides more channels for future constellation changes.
• Trimble RTX: Includes an activated and ready-to-use Trimble CenterPoint RTX subscription for the first 12 months. CenterPoint RTX is point positioning technology that provides real-time, centimeter-level corrections via satellite or cellular/IP.

Applications

For Civil Construction: Using the R780 with Trimble Siteworks software allows workers to capture points while standing, walking or driving the site, without leveling the pole.

For Building Construction: Using the R780 with Trimble FieldLink software supports underground and long-distance layout projects as well as QA/QC and field positioning tasks. The R780 can serve as a GNSS rover or as a base station for other GNSS operations including machine control.
