Welcome to this month’s edition. Here’s what we’ve been up to.

The Trimble R980 GNSS System is now available from just $10,400 + GST — with your entire first year covered in one all-inclusive price. Hardware, subscription, ProPoint® precision, TIP™ tilt compensation, and CenterPoint® RTX reliability, all bundled together. No hidden costs. Just pick it up and get to work.

Trimble Dimensions 2026 is calling for speakers — and we’d love to see our customers on stage. This year’s event is bigger than ever, with the return of the Offsite Expo, SketchUp’s 3D Basecamp, and the first-ever Trimble Developers Summit. Submissions close April 15, so don’t wait.

We’re taking a fresh look at Trimble Connect and why it’s far more than a file storage platform. We’re also celebrating 20 years of Trimble Business Center — tracing its evolution from GNSS processing to point cloud classification and beyond.

From CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 in Las Vegas, automation was the talk of the show — and Trimble was front and centre. We also sit in on a conversation about the billions lost each year to unknown underground utilities, and what’s being done about it.

On the industry front, Surveyors Australia has lodged a formal submission to the Surveyors Board of Queensland on its proposed updated Code of Practice — the first major revision in 15 years.

As always, thank you for being a part of the UPG community.
