LAS VEGAS, Feb 23, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Trimble (Nasdaq: TRMB)
introduced today its next generation VRS(TM) network solution-Trimble
VRS(3)NET(TM) software. Built on Microsoft .NET's state-of-the-art
architecture and more than 10 years of experience deploying network solutions
worldwide, the new VRS(3)NET software provides users with a suite of tools for
creating and managing a VRS network that is designed to support current and
future Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) constellations.
The announcement was made today at the 2009 Trimble Dimensions User
Conference.
Trimble VRS networks enable precise, real-time GNSS positioning through
the distribution of correction data. They provide a highly reliable and
cost-effective means for surveyors and other geospatial professionals to work
faster and achieve accurate GNSS results for a variety of positioning
applications including geodetic and cadastral surveying, road and bridge
construction, mapping, agriculture, earthquake and tectonic plate movement
monitoring, and scientific research, as well as other high-accuracy
positioning applications. VRS networks are today considered an integral tool
for providing fast, high precision, wide area positioning in countries around
the world.
Trimble VRS(3)NET software is based on Microsoft .NET architecture and
Microsoft SQL server. This advanced architecture provides the technical
flexibility and scalability needed to accommodate future GNSS and Satellite-
based Augmentation Systems (SBAS), operating systems, and the addition of
evolving IT hardware. Trimble VRS(3)NET software runs autonomously on a
network, yet is highly secure and features an intuitive user interface.
To assure users receive the highest quality data, network integrity
monitoring is fully integrated into the software, supplying the operator with
a full suite of tools to continuously monitor system health, including
variable tectonic plate motions. Any network variation outside the user-
defined thresholds is automatically detected, logged, reported or alarmed so
that high-quality correction services to field users is preserved.
Trimble VRS(3)NET software also provides network operators with advanced
Web application tools such as billing and accounting modules that allow them
to easily automate a variety of commercial tasks. VRS(3)NET software provides
innovative tools through the use of Google Maps(TM) technology. Operators can
now monitor and query in real time the status of all Continuous Operating
Reference Station (CORS) components in the network, as well as monitor rovers
that are logged into the network to know the locations of their crews.
There are currently more than 200 Trimble infrastructure network
installations throughout the world including in: Australia, Austria, Belgium,
Bulgaria, Brazil, Brunei, Canada, China, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Iceland, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Malaysia,
Netherlands, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, Poland, Portugal,
Republic of South Africa, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia,
Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey,
the United Kingdom and U.S. For a partial reference list of Trimble VRS
installations visit: http://www.trimble.com/vrsinstallations.shtml.
Trimble VRS(3)NET software offers system operators the tools needed to
install, monitor, maintain and expand a precise positioning network. It is
expected to be available in April 2009. For more information, email:
