For users of conventional RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) satellite-based positioning solutions, a base station is necessary to bring a level of accuracy to the layout workflow. With the Trimble SPS986, you can easily leave the base station at home.

Boasting a simplified and integrated Trimble Field Link workflow, satellite layout users can connect to existing VRS (Virtual Reference Station) networks, such as Trimble VRSNow. These services provide accurate corrections that can, in many cases, provide comparable performance compared to single baseline Base and Rover setups. And because it’s a regional network, you can work anywhere in the network, without worrying about setting up a base or waiting for an initialization.

With Trimble VRSNow, you can begin laying out points and checking locations on multiple projects quickly, easily, and with surprising accuracy and repeatability.
