Trimble VRS Now Service Launched in Colorado for High Precision GNSS Positioning

Simply Connect, Correct and Measure

Sunnyvale, Calif., June 1, 2007 — Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) announced today that it has launched its Trimble® VRS Now™ service in Colorado across Denver’s Front Range. The commercial subscription service will provide surveyors, civil engineers and geospatial professionals, with instant access to real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning corrections without the need for a field base station.

The service will deliver centimetre-level RTK and differential GPS (DGPS) positioning customized for each Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) rover receiver’s exact location anywhere in the network. The Trimble VRS Now service will supply fast, easy to use and accurate GNSS positioning for a variety of applications including surveying, urban planning, construction, transportation, environmental monitoring, resource and territory management, disaster prevention and relief, weather services and scientific research.

In addition to standard cell phone connection to the network, service in Colorado also includes an innovative and powerful radio broadcast option. The radio option provides further assurance to users, even in areas where cellular signals are limited.

“Our Colorado network is the third commercial GNSS infrastructure service offering from Trimble. Because of the high rate of growth in and around Denver, Trimble VRS Now provides real business value to the local community,” said Jürgen Kliem, general manager for Trimble’s Survey Division. “Our goal is to streamline the work of surveying businesses and increase productivity by enhancing the synergies among tools, techniques, services and relationships, which build a Connected Site.”
 
The system in Colorado includes a network of Trimble NetR5™ GNSS Reference Stations equipped to receive broad-spectrum GPS and GLONASS positioning signals to maximize field productivity. Network corrections are calculated using Trimble VRS™ technology, the most widely-used network RTK solution worldwide. Covering approximately 2,300 square miles (3,701 square kilometers), users connect into the network using a wireless connection—either cellular or radio—for fast, easy access to precise network RTK and DGPS corrections.

Trimble VRS Now represents a major advance in precision surveying productivity. No longer dependant on a field base station, precision GNSS surveys are easy to perform and users can be up and running in minutes. And without the need for base station hardware, all of a user’s GNSS receivers can now work independently as rovers—saving time and money. Simply connect, correct and measure.

A subscription to Trimble VRS Now service and a GNSS rover is all a user needs to begin surveying or collecting data with precision anywhere within the network. Surveyors and other users can switch on their receiver and real-time corrections are available in seconds. Trimble VRS Now works with nearly all GPS and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) survey instruments from a variety of manufacturers. For more information visit: www.trimble.com/VRSNow.shtml.
