SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trimble (Nasdaq: TRMB) announced today that it has launched Trimble(R) VRS-iScope(TM) service in the U.S. The add-on service offers Trimble VRS Now(TM) subscribers in Florida, Iowa, Illinois and Colorado the ability to track and manage their assets in real time, as well as view their session history and rover information.
The Trimble VRS Now service supplies fast, easy to use and accurate Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) correction data for a variety of applications including surveying, urban planning, construction, agriculture, asset management, transportation, environmental monitoring, resource and territory management, disaster prevention and relief, weather services and scientific research.
The Trimble VRS-iScope service provides subscribers real-time access to a rover receiver's exact location anywhere in the network. Utilizing Google(TM) Maps, Trimble VRS-iScope simplifies project scheduling and asset management by giving a visual component to surveying, mapping, construction and agriculture projects. A session management tool allows network users to visually review their session trail on a map as well as manage their subscription usage. The secure sign-on provides project managers and their staff the ability to monitor assets and their network usage on demand, remotely and from any project site.
'Trimble VRS-iScope service is the latest value-added feature to complement our Trimble VRS Now correction data service in the U.S. Through online access to project data as well as a real-time visual feedback on rover locations, Trimble VRS Now is the only service of its kind to offer the highest quality VRS correction data and real-time tracking information on the market today,' said Pierre Desjardins, business manager for Trimble's Infrastructure business area. 'By enhancing our Trimble VRS Now service we are providing customers with additional management tools to increase asset and worker productivity while saving them money.'
Trimble VRS-iScope represents an advance in the VRS correction data service offerings. All that is needed is a subscription to Trimble VRS Now and VRS-iScope, a rover, and a mobile phone with access to the Internet to begin measuring or collecting data with Trimble-precision and to monitor rovers in the field. Monitoring rovers can result in significant time and cost savings by allowing organizations to know the locations of their crews.
