What is the Trimble SPS986 Used For?
Unsurpassed Technology
- Powered by advanced Trimble R-Track technology, The SPS986 GNSS Smart Antenna can utilize more GNSS constellations, satellites, and signals than traditional GPS – delivering higher accuracy in more challenging conditions.
- Using the Trimble SPS986 GNSS Smart Antenna with Tilt Compensation, you can capture accurate points while the receiver is not level.
- Trimble xFill technology expands site productivity by allowing short excursions into valleys and other locations where GNSS corrections were not previously available.
- Trimble ProPoint GNSS technology uses all available signals to provide survey-grade positioning in many areas where other GNSS systems either can’t provide a solution at all or produce unreliable error estimates.
- Trimble CenterPoint RTX is the best satellite-delivered GNSS positioning service for your most precise jobs, providing you with the freedom to work anywhere without interruptions.
