Trimble Launches VRS Now Service in Georgia

Trimble announced today the launch of Trimble® VRS Now™ correction service in Georgia. The commercial subscription service provides surveyors, civil engineers, and geospatial professionals in the region with instant access to Real-time Kinematic (RTK) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) corrections without the need for a base station.

Using both the GPS and GLONASS constellations, the Trimble service delivers centimeter-level RTK corrections customized for each GNSS receiver's location anywhere in the network via cellular communications. The Trimble VRS Now service supplies accurate, reliable and easy-to-use GNSS positioning for a variety of applications including surveying, urban planning, urban and rural construction, environmental monitoring, resource and territory management, disaster prevention and relief, and scientific research. 

"As we continue to expand our VRS Now network throughout the U.S., we're excited to offer users in Georgia state-of-the-art VRS correction services powered by the latest Trimble infrastructure technology," said Lisa Wetherbee, business area director of Trimble's Positioning Services Division. "Now seamless coverage is available across Georgia, Alabama and Florida providing customers with reliable centimeter-level accuracy and the flexibility to work more freely across a larger tri-state coverage area."

Service in Georgia is a continuation of Trimble's focus on providing solutions that enable customers to increase productivity by simplifying access to high-precision positioning around the world. Similar VRS Now services are operating in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Oregon, New Mexico and parts of Europe and Australia.
