Trimble Precise Positioning

Here's some takeaways from my #CECECongress 2024 panel session with Laura Fiumara, Kris Bické and Rodrigo Carles Martinez on the EU Data Act last week in Madrid: - The EU Data Act's focus on co-generation of data implies a shift towards data access, usage, and sharing. - A key point for Data Holders and Service Providers in particular is the development and the promotion of interoperability frameworks that facilitate seamless data sharing between different systems and platforms, such as standardizing data formats and APIs to ensure compatibility and reduce integration costs. - There is also clearly a need for monitoring and feedback mechanisms to address any issues that arise during the implementation phase and a possibility to update the regulations based on real-world experiences and technological advancements. - Data Holders will need to clearly communicate what data is available, how it is used, shared, and protected, fostering a trusted environment for data co-generation. - Finally, the focus on data accessibility can open new market opportunities by enabling companies to enter markets that prioritize open data ecosystems - this could involve developing new products and services tailored to sectors that benefit from shared data environments. For companies like Trimble, the biggest challenge for the short term will be to accommodate on time all the requirements from the new directives such as the Data Act, but also the Machinery or the Radio Equipment Directive, or the Cyber Resilience Act. There is a lot to do, and this has to be done while many of the OEMs and Service providers have to figure out a new business model in relation to Data. On the other hand, the sky is the limit regarding opportunities for the long term. Trimble's strategy "Connect & Scale" has never been more appropriate!

The accuracy of every #GNSS signal processing solution is measured by its ability to reduce errors that occur when signals are transmitted from space to Earth. The accuracy of the coordinates your GNSS-enabled device provides is directly affected by how quickly and directly the signal from satellites reaches your device’s antenna. For instance, you’ve likely noticed that the accuracy of your phone’s mapping system degrades while walking or driving in a city near tall buildings. That’s because the signal from space is bouncing off buildings on its way to the receiver, which is your phone in this instance. The second, and arguably larger, cause of location errors is related to the ionosphere. If you remember your high school science class, the ionosphere is the electrically charged layer (ions) of the atmosphere located between 50 and 1000 km above the Earth. GNSS satellites are located in medium Earth orbit at about 20,000 km, which means the signals back to Earth are traveling through those highly charged ions. Since the ion strength varies continuously, the direct effect on the signals varies by time of day, season, geographic location, and solar activity. You’ll likely hear more about ionospheric disruptions in the coming year as a consequence of Solar Cycle 25. This is a time when solar sunspot activity is highest, which directly affects GNSS signal reliability. For instance, in May, there was a significant solar storm. For many of us, the consequence of this storm was the visibility of the Northern Lights in places where it’s not typically seen. But it’s more than pretty lights in the sky – it’s a direct and noticeable disruption to GNSS. Read the full breakdown on GNSS trends from Stuart Riley here: https://lnkd.in/dTZgsC_E

Relentless dedication to precision. Tap into it.

Finlay Wood talks about dialing in that last critical degree of accuracy with Trimble OEM GNSS products for system integrators. The Trimble ProPoint GNSS engine is at this heart of this approach, providing high accuracy even in challenging GNSS environments (obstructed views to SV's). He also talks about how Trimble IonoGuard provides protection against atmospheric disturbances to keep your machines up and running. #iVTExpo #GNSS #OEM

#SolarScintillation is a 'hot' topic right now. It's important to know how to manage solar variabilities, and what a contingency plan looks like. Check out this American Surveyor Magazine article on the topic from Stuart Riley, vice president, technology – GNSS, Trimble: https://bit.ly/4gn0D2e

Introducing the next generation direct georeferencing solutions for mapping sensors on uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) – the Trimble APX RTX portfolio. When used by OEMs and drone payload integrators, their customers can fly around-the-clock in widely variable environments to efficiently and quickly deliver high accuracy, reliable map products. This is made possible by the integration of Trimble CenterPoint RTX, which enables real-time and post-mission direct georeferencing of camera, LiDAR and hyperspectral mapping sensors on UAVs with centimeter-level accuracy.
