Trimble's GeoExplorer GNSS Data Collection Solution Adds Remote Positioning Capability for Greater Productivity

Announcing the Next Generation GeoExplorer GNSS Handheld Solution with Flightwave Technology

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 5, 2013 — (PRNewswire) — Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) introduced today the next generation of its Trimble® GeoExplorer® data collection solution. The new Geo 7X includes an integrated laser rangefinder module, extended GNSS capabilities and improved hardware performance. Together with robust field and office software, the new Trimble Geo 7X handheld can enhance productivity in difficult physical conditions and challenging GNSS environments.

When faced with either obstructed satellites or inaccessible locations, GIS professionals now have the geospatial data collection tools they need—in a single package. For times when occupying a position is simply not possible, users can take advantage of Trimble's new Flightwave™ technology. With Flightwave technology, users can easily capture offset measurements from the Geo 7X's rangefinder module for direct integration with Trimble data collection software. Users can simply point and shoot to log the position, avoiding dangerous conditions or right-of-way challenges. In addition, Trimble's field-proven Floodlight™ technology enhances field productivity when heavy overhead cover obstructs satellite signals.

The Geo 7X is compatible with existing and planned GNSS satellite systems—including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS and now BeiDou—to maximize productivity with additional satellites and ranging signals.

Featuring a new 1 GHz processor and 4 GB of memory running Microsoft® Windows® 6.5 Professional operating system, the Geo 7X offers enhanced computing performance. Other standard features include a 4.2 inch sunlight readable LED touch display and a 5 MP camera for geo-tagging assets. For wireless connectivity, the integrated modem allows users to send and receive data via GSM networks as well as Verizon's CDMA network in the U.S. And with its IP65 rating, the rugged handheld GNSS receiver is sealed against water and dust.

With the introduction of the Geo 7X, Trimble also delivers updates to its field and office software portfolio to extend Trimble's end-to-end data collection solutions with new software workflows and compatibility. In addition to the field-proven Trimble TerraSync™ and Positions™ software, the Geo 7X now supports the customizable data collection workflows of Trimble TerraFlex™ software. Consisting of mobile software and Cloud services, TerraFlex offers a fast and efficient way to collect, process and manage data. Field data is automatically synced with a central server to streamline office operations and drive higher productivity.

"We believe that true productivity is being able to map assets—the first time, every time and anywhere. We've built upon our productivity-enabling Floodlight technology and pushed it forward several steps," said Alain Samaha, business area director of GIS and geospatial software solutions for Trimble's Geospatial Division. "Users now can position themselves in the optimal location and accurately measure assets remotely with a single, integrated device together with simple software workflows. The Trimble Geo 7X allows mobile GIS users to be productive wherever they need to work."

Availability

The Trimble Geo 7X and supporting software are expected to be available in fourth quarter of 2013 through Trimble's authorized GIS Distribution Channel. To learn more go to: www.trimble.com/mappingGIS.
