Trimble Expands CenterPoint RTX Fast Correction Service in North America

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today the expansion of its CenterPoint^® RTX^® Fast (RTX Fast) GNSS correction service coverage area in North America. Trimble RTX Fast reduces convergence time, allowing customers to achieve horizontal positioning accuracy of better than one inch (two centimeters), in as fast as one minute. No other satellite-delivered correction service on the market today provides this combined level of accuracy and convergence performance.

Now, with CenterPoint RTX more farmers, surveyors, GIS professionals and construction contractors can experience the RTK-level accuracy of traditional cellular-based Virtual Reference Station (VRS) networks, while benefiting from the versatility of a satellite-delivered correction service.

Additional states and provinces now covered by Trimble RTX Fast include Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina and Washington and Alberta and Ontario Canada.
