TRIMBLE has expanded the availability of its satellite-delivered CenterPoint RTX correction service to most of the world, including Australia.

This satellite-delivered correction service eliminates the need for additional receivers, modems, or data plans.

CenterPoint RTX is a total GNSS solution using both GPS and GLONASS constellations, and provides up to 3.8-centimetre repeatable horizontal GNSS positioning without requiring the use of a local RTK base station.

With this service, farmers are able to continue working through correction signal interruptions of up to two minutes.

Plus, the service features FastRestart technology-enabled convergence times of less than five minutes when the receiver’s position has not moved since last powered off.
