This is multitasking in 4 different languages! Not only does it support the latest Trimble rovers like the R12 and SPS986, but offers support for Leica, Topcon, Sokkia, JAVAD and of course just about every Trimble RTK receiver made since the late 90's. You can even have a 4th port sending via Bluetooth. For example – you can send CMR+ corrections through the internet while sending RTCM corrections through the internal UHF radio – while also sending CMRx corrections through an external radio – or any combination of the sort. That’s right, you can access your base station from anywhere in the world – just open your browser and type in the IP address.Īnother advantage of the SPS85x is that it can simultaneously transmit corrections over multiple ports, using multiple protocols. Trimble's web application provides access to additional advanced futures like remote set up and remote troubleshooting. Seriously, this thing was easier to set up than our wireless printer! Within 15 minutes we had it transmitting RTK corrections through our wireless router and over the internet. The SPS85x was designed with the internet in mind and is one of the easiest devices to set up on a network. Even other brands of receivers like Topcon, Leica, Sokkia, Javad can utilize the corrections provided by the SPS85x. In fact the SPS85x series GNSS receivers can also be configured to provide independent RTK corrections simultaneously to a wide range of GPS equipment, such as a GCS900, Accugrade and MineStar grade control systems - as well as any survey receiver capable of receiving CMR, CMRx and RTCM corrections. The SPS85x receiver can provide real time corrections to multiple radios simultaneously.

Because of this, most projects run two separate GPS base stations to provide real-time (RTK) corrections either radio choice. Even when one contractor manages the entire project, the survey crew typically uses UHF (403-473MHz) radios in their GPS equipment (for long range), while the dirt guys run 900MHz, license free radios in their GPS rovers and machine control systems. Most projects are built by multiple contractors. We explain why the Trimble SPS85x receiver is the best GNSS receiver for any project.

From surveying tasks to machine control systems, all of the GPS equipment on your site relies on your base station for accuracy. Over the last two decades GPS has become a standard tool for civil construction projects. Why you should be using the Trimble SPS855 series GNSS receivers
