Trimble R980 GNSS Receiver: Advanced Surveying Solution
Pre Owned IN STOCK : Please Contact us for pricing
Discover the new Trimble R980 GNSS Receiver, designed for high-precision surveying with next-gen connectivity and tilt compensation technologies. This unit combines LTE and RTX corrections for fast, reliable measurements without the need for a base station, making it an ideal solution for professional surveyors who need mobility, accuracy, and efficiency.
The Trimble R12i, another advanced GNSS system, uses IMU-based technology for precise tilt compensation. Below is a comparison table highlighting the features of the R980, R12, and R12i:
| Feature | Trimble R980 | Trimble R12 | Trimble R12i |
|---|---|---|---|
| GNSS Technology | ProPoint GNSS Engine | Trimble ProPoint GNSS Engine | Trimble ProPoint GNSS Engine + Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) |
| Tilt Compensation | IMU-based TIP Technology, calibration-free | Optional tilt compensation | IMU-based calibration-free tilt compensation |
| Correction Services | Trimble CenterPoint RTX | Trimble CenterPoint RTX, VRS, RTK | Same as R12 |
| Satellite Tracking | GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, SBAS, NavIC | Similar | Similar |
| Connectivity | Integrated LTE, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi | UHF radio, LTE optional | UHF radio, LTE optional |
| Positioning Accuracy | 2 cm horizontal (RTX), 3 cm vertical (RTX) | High-precision RTK | High-precision RTK + tilt accuracy |
| Durability | IP67, military-spec design | IP67, durable design | IP67, durable design |
| Battery Life | Up to 7 hours (cellular) | Similar battery specifications | Similar battery specifications |
Why Choose the Trimble R980?
- Connectivity: Integrated LTE modem for global reach and connectivity.
- Tilt Compensation: IMU-based technology without calibration for efficient fieldwork.
- RTX Subscription Included: Achieve centimeter-level accuracy without local base stations.
Whether you’re considering the R12i’s advanced IMU features or the robust, LTE-powered R980, both models offer cutting-edge capabilities. However, the R980 provides a streamlined solution, particularly for users relying on Trimble’s RTX correction services for base-free surveying.
