The all-new Trimble RangePoint RTX correction service, which is now available across the UK from Cambridgeshire-based precision agriculture specialist AS Communications, provides broad-accuracy satellite correction for growers.
The RangePoint RTX correction service allows operators currently running a Trimble CFX-750 Display, Trimble FmX Integrated Display or Trimble AG-372 GNSS Receiver to access both GPS and Glonass satellites, thus increasing satellite coverage and accuracy compared to that of free Egnos correction that just uses standard GPS satellites. The RangePoint RTX correction service will also be available on the all new Trimble TMX-2050 Display.
Accurate to within 15 cm pass-to-pass and repeatable to within 50 cm, Trimble RangePoint RTX correction service provides a reliable new satellite correction for growers undertaking crop applications that only require entry-level accuracy such as cultivations, fertiliser spreading, mowing and spraying.
Since its release earlier this year, growers using Trimble RangePoint RTX correction service have been impressed by the performance of the new satellite correction service in recent months.
“Customers currently using RangePoint RTX have so far been very impressed,” AS Communications’ operations manager, Lee Clarke, said. “The new signal offers excellent satellite coverage with better accuracy compared to that of Egnos and should be used as a minimum by all operators with compatible Trimble displays for jobs that only need low-accuracy.”
The Trimble RangePoint RTX correction service is available as a 12-month subscription at an annual cost of £215.00, but as a special introductory offer, a free 12-month subscription is available free of charge to existing operators who register before the end of 2012.
