The most accurate positioning available is what automated vehicles need and 1985 Trimble’s RTX fits the bill. It combines Trimble’s precise positioning IP with automotive-qualified GNSS components.


Trimble is now working supplying RTX positioning technology - based upon years of accurate positioning in the agriculture sector - with tier one suppliers and original equipment manufacturers in the automotive sector. Trimble said that its RTX is the best performing satellite-delivered correction service when measuring horizontal accuracy together with speed of convergence. The real-time centimetre-level positioning is based upon years of accurate positioning in the agriculture sector - from less than 30cm to just a few centimetres.

It is, said Trimble, a true multi-GNSS service – GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS and Galileo. Pre- and post-broadcast data integrity checks are made for optimal reliability.

Importantly, Trimble RTX is not dependent upon the hardware platform.
