Trimble VRS Now introduced in Australia
In December, Trimble®, together with UPG, launched Trimble® VRS Now™ in Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, Northern Territory, Tasmania and Victoria. This initiative adds integral, expanded coverage to Trimble’s national positioning infrastructure in Australia.
What is Trimble VRS Now?
Trimble VRS Now offers instant access to unsurpassed accuracy and reliability. It’s a professionally managed and secure service tailored to your geographic location and it’s always on whenever and wherever you need it.
With Trimble VRS Now you will also:
- Achieve more consistent positioning via access to data from an RTK network
- Gain instant access to real-time kinematic (RTK) corrections
- Have no need for base station setup
- Achieve 2 cm accuracy
- Have access to built-in redundancy to ensure connectivity, consistency, and quality
It’s pretty simple…
The change for you
If you were an existing OmniSTAR CORS user, you would have been automatically upgraded to the new Trimble VRS Now service as well as access to the Pivot Field Mobile App. After a period of time, OmniSTAR CORS users who have been migrated across to Trimble VRS Now will be prompted to change their receivers from pointing to cors.omnistar.net.au to vrsnow.com.au.
Trimble also offers its worldwide CentrePoint RTX services. Delivered via satellite or IP/cellular delivery, this service can achieve a 3cm level precision to all of Australia. This service is available standalone or in combination with a Network RTK subscription. This combination gives you the assurance that, no matter whether you are in mobile phone coverage or not, you will still get RTK data and your work won’t be interrupted.
Trimble Pivot Field Mobile App 
To assist you in managing all of this information, Trimble Positioning Services have released the Pivot Field app for customers. This first of a kind service allows you to view individual CORS, atmospheric conditions, satellite availability and subscription details on your Smart Phone. This App is the first of its kind that is available to the End User.
