Trimble VRS Now Service in Ireland
Trimble has launched Trimble VRS Now Service in Ireland. The service provides surveyors, civil engineers and geospatial professionals with instant access to real-time kinematic (RTK) Global Positioning System (GPS) corrections without the need for a base station.
Using data from Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSi) and Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland (OSNI), the Trimble service delivers centimeter-level RTK positioning customized for each GPS receiver's location anywhere in the network. The Trimble VRS Now Service supplies fast and accurate GPS positioning for a variety of applications including surveying, environmental monitoring, resource and territory management, disaster prevention and relief, and scientific research.
Service to Ireland is a continuation of Trimble's focus on simplifying access to high precision corrections around the world. Similar services are operating across Germany, Great Britain and also in Colorado, U.S. Trimble VRS Now provides service to subscribers, utilising a network of reference stations across Ireland and Northern Ireland. Users connect into the system using a wireless connection; the software acknowledges the users' field positions and provides a stream of corrections data that enable centimeter accuracy throughout the network.
