The Trimble® GeoExplorer® 6000 series takes GNSS productivity to a whole new level. Bringing together the essential functionality for high-accuracy field work in one device, the GeoXH™ handheld delivers real-time decimeter (10 cm / 4 inch) accuracy positioning, high quality photo capture, and integrated Internet connectivity options. Together with the latest field software enhancements and GNSS innovations—including Trimble Floodlight™ satellite shadow reduction technology—the GeoXH handheld establishes a new standard for GNSS system performance and handheld data capture.

The Trimble® GeoExplorer® 6000 series takes GNSS productivity to a whole new level. Combining submeter accuracy GNSS, high quality photo capture, wireless Internet, and connectivity options in a single product, the GeoXT™ handheld is the ideal field device for organizations mapping critical assets and infrastructure, or for anyone needing dependable submeter accuracy GNSS data, simple operation, and repeatable results. Together with the latest field software enhancements and GNSS innovations—including Trimble Floodlight™ satellite shadow reduction technology—the GeoXT handheld is the ideal submeter field solution for any industry, including utility companies, local government organizations, and federal agencies.

For high-accuracy GIS data collection and asset relocation, the Trimble® GeoXH™ handheld from the GeoExplorer® 3000 series is the perfect integrated solution. Engineered with Trimble H-Star™ technology, the GeoXH handheld delivers the accuracy you need when you need it. It is ideal for electric and gas utilities, water and wastewater services, land reform projects, and other applications where on-the-spot positioning is crucial.

The GeoXH handheld provides real-time subfoot (<30 cm) accuracy with the internal antenna, or decimeter (10 cm / 4 inch) accuracy after postprocessing. Decimeter accuracy can be achieved in real-time with the optional Tornado™ external antenna. Because high accuracy positions are available in real-time, you can track down buried and hidden assets with ease, and excavate cables and pipes without wasted effort or risk of damage to nearby assets. Back-office data processing is eliminated, streamlining asset inventories and as-built mapping jobs. When you postprocess with Trimble office software you can be confident of achieving decimeter level accuracy with greater consistency at longer baselines, in tougher environments, and with shorter occupations.

With a powerful 520 MHz processor, 128 MB RAM, and 1 GB of onboard storage, the GeoXH handheld is a high performance device designed to work as hard as you do. The handheld gives you all the power you need to work with maps and large data sets in the field, and its high resolution VGA display allows for crisp and clear viewing of your data. Read more

The Juno® SD handheld is a durable, lightweight handheld that integrates an array of powerful features. Providing integrated cellular data and voice call capability, photo capture, and high yield GPS positioning, the Juno SD handheld will empower and increase the efficiency of your entire mobile workforce.

Whether you are managing critical assets, responding to emergencies, or updating your enterprise GIS, the Juno SD is the ultimate solution.

The integrated 3.5G HSDPA cellular capability keeps your entire field workforce in contact with the office and the data they need. The Juno SD provides a high-speed Internet connection, enabling your team to access crucial information in the field—work-orders, map data, reference files, emails, and even the Internet.

The integrated camera enables field workers to store a visual record of jobs, and with the microSD card slot in Juno SD handheld, they need never worry about running out of memory in the field.

The Trimble® Yuma® rugged tablet computer is built to withstand even the most challenging work environment. Safeguard your software and data in the face of dust, sand, mud, humidity, and extreme temperature. Conduct inspections, collect information, capture photos, and communicate with headquarters, all with the assurance that your data is protected.

Overcoming the elements presents an initial challenge, since water, dust, and dirt easily threaten the internal components of all but the most rugged of outdoor computers. The Yuma tablet features an ingress protection rating of 67 (IP67), meaning it is sealed against dust and has been water immersion tested for 30 minutes at a depth of one meter (3.28 ft). Water and dust won't sideline the Yuma tablet.

Shock, vibration, and extreme temperature fluctuation present a second level of challenges to outdoor computing. The rugged design of the Yuma tablet incorporates a solid state hard drive, eliminating internal moving parts and providing protection against stress from impact and vibration. In addition, MIL-STD-810F specifications ensure that the Yuma tablet survives bitter cold, blistering desert heat, and everything in between—even accidentally launching the Yuma tablet off the tailgate of your truck.

Whether you need to relocate buried pipes and cables, or accurately map underground assets and critical infrastructure, the Trimble® GPS Pathfinder® ProXRT receiver has it all. This real-time receiver can achieve decimeter (10 cm / 4 inch) accuracy, giving you the confidence to know the job was done right while you're still on site. Combining H-Star™ technology, OmniSTAR support, and with the option of GLONASS support on top of dual frequency GPS, the GPS Pathfinder ProXRT receiver is a truly versatile solution offering you the accuracy you need, worldwide.

The GPS Pathfinder ProXRT receiver brings Trimble H-Star technology to the field in real time; just connect to a VRS™ network or a local base station correction source and you can collect decimeter to subfoot (<30 cm) positions in the field.

Alternatively, OmniSTAR HP can be used to achieve real-time decimeter accuracy. The OmniSTAR antenna is integrated so there's no need to carry any extra equipment—just purchase a subscription and wait for the over the air corrections. The GPS Pathfinder ProXRT receiver is also capable of using the OmniSTAR XP (20 cm accuracy) and VBS (instantaneous submeter accuracy) services.

The GPS Pathfinder® ProXH™ receiver introduces a new era in GPS for GIS data collection. A GPS receiver, antenna, and all-day battery in one, the ProXH receiver delivers subfoot (<30 cm) accuracy with the revolutionary Trimble H-Star™ technology. And when high accuracy is critical to your application, add a Tornado™ antenna to your ProXH receiver for decimeter (10 cm / 4 inch) postprocessed accuracy.

Bringing together advanced GPS receiver design and a powerful new postprocessing engine, H-Star technology is in a class of its own. Working together with the Trimble TerraSync™ software and Trimble® GPScorrect™ extension for ESRI ArcPad software, the ProXH receiver quickly and efficiently logs the data you need to achieve subfoot accuracy. Back in the office, the GPS Pathfinder Office software or the Trimble GPS Analyst™ extension for ESRI ArcGIS Desktop software guides you through the H-Star correction process and displays the accuracy you've achieved.

Purpose-built for GIS data collection, the GPS Pathfinder® ProXT™ receiver sets new standards for ease of use. A precision GPS receiver, antenna, and all-day battery in one, the ProXT receiver is totally cable-free, making data collection more straightforward than ever before.

With an advanced design and features like EVEREST™ multipath rejection technology, the ProXT receiver delivers consistent, reliable accuracy, so you can work under canopy, in urban environments, or wherever accuracy is crucial. If you need to be sure of your accuracy in the field, the integrated SBAS receiver or optional GeoBeacon™ receiver provides submeter accuracy in real time.

For the very best results, postprocessing is easy with Trimble® GPS Pathfinder Office software or the Trimble GPS Analyst™ extension for ESRI ArcGIS Desktop software. These office processing suites use Trimble DeltaPhase™ technology to achieve 50 cm accuracy for GPS code measurements after postprocessing, and even higher levels of postprocessed accuracy are possible when you log GPS carrier data for extended periods.
