Flexible, integrated system design Scalable to add capability as your business needs change Industry-leading GPS positioning including L2C Trimble Integrated Surveying Ready

Trimble Business Center Office Software Easily transfer GNSS field data into the office for data processing. Harness the power of Trimble Business Centers network adjustment, combining your GPS and optical measurements together to get the best overall results.

GNSS TECHNOLOGY THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE The Trimble R6 receiver delivers the accuracy and reliability required for precision surveying with superior tracking and RTK performance. With GPS L2C included, and the GLONASS option, you can track more satellites and measure more successfully in challenging environments. L2C provides more than just additional signals. The advanced signal structure provides better strength for more reliable satellite tracking. Reduce downtime caused by loss of lock and the time it takes to re-initialize with advanced tracking and positioning technology fromTrimble. INTEGRATED SURVEYING FOR A TOTAL SOLUTION Bring the power of both GNSS and Optical technologies to every job site. With Trimble Integrated Surveying, your Trimble Controller acts as a common point of integration so all data is collected on a single job file. With the Trimble I.S. Rover, you can take advantage of the high productivity of GPS data capture when you have good sky visibility and seamlessly switch over to using Trimble robotic total stations for precise measurements in hard to reach locations. Simply add a prism to the rover pole and connect with a robotic optical system. This integrated solution maximizes the best of both surveying techniques for even greater field efficiency.

Trimble TSC3, Trimble Tablet Rugged PC or Trimble CU Controller Using either a handheld or detachable controller unit, rover systems based on the Trimble R6 are lightweight, flexible, and cable free. The Trimble TSC3 offers a full keyboard and expansion capabilities for versatility and integration with Trimble optical instruments. Trimble Field Software Trimble field software puts the power to manage seamless data flow, field efficiency, and true Integrated Surveying in your hands. Innovative, Trimble Access software delivers comprehensive control of any surveying situation. Optional Streamlined Workflows are also available to deliver fast results in specialized tasks.

The Trimble R6 GPS system is shown with the Trimble TSC3 controller. The Trimble TSC2 controller, Trimble Tablet Rugged PC and Trimble CU controller are also supported.

1 Precision and reliability may be subject to anomalies due to multipath, obstructions, satellite geometry, and atmospheric conditions. The specifications stated recommend the use of stable mounts in an open sky view, EMI and multipath clean environment, optimal GNSS constellation configurations, along with the use of survey practices that are generally accepted for performing the highest-order surveys for the applicable application including occupation times appropriate for baseline length. Baselines longer than 30 km require precise ephemeris and occupations up to 24 hours may be required to achieve the high precision static specification. 2 Depends on WAAS/EGNOS system performance. 3 Network RTK PPM values are referenced to the closest physical base station. 4 May be affected by atmospheric conditions, signal multipath, obstructions and satellite geometry. Initialization reliability is continuously monitored to ensure highest quality. 5 Receiver will operate normally to 40 C, internal batteries are rated to 20 C. 6 Varies with terrain and operating conditions. 7 Varies with temperature. 8 Varies with temperature and wireless data rate. 9 Bluetooth type approvals are country specific.
