GNSS Receivers and Antennas for Marine Construction

GNSS Receivers and Antennas for Marine Construction

Marine construction presents its own unique challenges and requirements. No matter how complex your project, Trimble has high performance positioning systems and software to help you meet and exceed them.

MPS566 Receiver

Features and Benefits

Trimble offers a range of GNSS receivers, antennas and sensors for marine construction that provide meaningful data for vessels and machines performing onshore, nearshore and offshore construction.

Precise GNSS Data and Multiple Real-Time Correction Options

Trimble GNSS receivers for marine construction provide real-time positioning, heading along with pitch and roll, delivering the precision required on a variety of construction projects. All Trimble GNSS receivers for marine construction can use a wide variety of correction sources including Trimble CenterPoint RTX to get down to centimeter level accuracy.

Advanced Connectivity

Trimble GNSS receivers for marine construction include an integrated 4G/LTE cellular modem, making them easy to be used as an internet gateway for file transfer (including construction design files) and remote support.

Powerful Software for All Stages of Construction

Trimble Business Center is used to create construction designs and to process hydrographic survey data—which are easily transferred to Trimble Marine Construction software so the operator has accurate, real-time 3D visualization of the dredging process.

MPS566 Receiver

MPS566 Model 2 Modular GNSS Heading Receiver

The Trimble MPS566 Model 2 modular GNSS heading receiver is a high accuracy, dual-antenna, GNSS heading receiver with advanced connectivity that delivers highly accurate positions and orientation from a wide variety of GNSS correction sources. This makes the MPS566 Model 2 the perfect choice for applications demanding exact heading and attitude measurements, including dredging, rock and material placement, and positioning tasks (tugs/anchors).

  • Combines position, heading and attitude into a single unit to reduce costs, power requirements and cabling – ideal for small spaces
  • Use the receiver as a cellular hotspot on the vessel for downloads and remote support
  • GNSS correction source connectivity: Wi-Fi, dual-band UHF radio, cellular modem, MSK Beacon and two MSS satellite correction channels
  • Integration connectivity: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Serial
Trimble R750 GNSS Modular Receiver

R750 GNSS Modular Receiver

The Trimble R750 GNSS Modular Receiver is the perfect option for contractors that require a high accuracy base-station for marine construction, features include:

  • Tracking all known GNSS constellations in challenging marine environments
  • Multiple options for corrections sources including satellite-based, internet and radio
  • Internal radios for less cabling
  • Upgradeable accuracy levels to fit your requirements
BX982 GNSS Receiver

BX992 GNSS Receiver

The Trimble Marine BX992 is a dual-antenna multi-frequency GNSS receiver with precise heading capability. The Marine BX992 comes standard with GPS, QZSS and GLONASS installed.The BX992 provides scalable precisions up to centimeter accuracy position in a compact package. By integrating the latest GNSS technology from Trimble, it provides robust high accuracy positions and orientation. It offers MSS L-Band support for Marinestar or Trimble RTX services so the BX992 delivers precise position without the use of a base station.

Dual Antenna Input

The dual antenna input provides precise heading compared to single antenna systems which have difficulty determining position relative to the object of interest, especially when dynamics are low.

Rugged, But Flexible Interface

The BX992 offers easy integration and dependability. The BX992 is built to perform reliably and rigorously in harsh environmental conditions.

Features

  • 2 x 336 Channels for multi-constellation GNSS support
  • Marinestar/RTX Support
  • Compact design for mobile applications
  • Flexible RS232, USB and Ethernet interfacing
  • Scalable accuracies to Centimeter level positions
  • Advanced RF Spectrum Monitoring
  • Rugged IP67 Enclosure
  • Other constellations available via upgrade
R780 GNSS Smart Antenna

R780 GNSS Smart Antenna

The ultra-rugged Trimble R780 GNSS Smart Antenna offers unmatched reliability for marine construction site positioning and can be used as an RTK base station when a smart antenna is preferred over a modular GNSS receiver. Featuring integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and dual-band (450/900 MHz) radio to expand system integration and correction source options. 

The R780 is an ideal solution for:

  • Beach and transition zone surveys where a pole can be used
  • Pole mounted single beam hydrographic surveys
  • General navigation
Trimble-Zephyr3Rugged

Zephyr 3 Rugged

The Trimble Zephyr 3 Rugged Antenna is intended for installations subject to high shock and vibration on the job site. Ideal for drilling rigs, marine vessels, cranes and other vehicle applications, it offers precise positioning with sub-millimeter phase center accuracy. High rejection RF filtering reduces the effects of Iridium transmissions, which can often be the cause of GNSS signal loss on marine construction vessels.

Key features of the Zephyr 3 Rugged:

  • Optimized for GNSS rover applications
  • Comprehensive GNSS support, including GPS Modernized signals, GLONASS, and Galileo
  • Robust low-elevation satellite tracking
  • Minimized multipath
  • Sub-millimeter phase center repeatability
  • Additional high rejection filtering 1614 – 1624 MHz to reduce interference from Iridium transmissions
Trimble-GA830

GA830 GNSS Antenna

The Trimble GA830 GNSS Antenna is a general purpose GNSS antenna designed for the marine environment. It can be used for both position and heading applications, and has excellent RTK and Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) performance.

The GA830 is optimized for tracking low elevation satellites and delivering improved signal to noise ratios. With a ruggedized housing and reliable performance, the GA830 is intended for installation on construction barges, pile driving rigs, marine vessels, cranes and other dynamic marine platforms. High rejection RF filtering reduces the effects of Iridium transmissions, which can often be the cause of GNSS signal loss on marine construction vessels.

Key features of the GA830:

  • Economical GNSS antenna for precision RTK marine applications
  • Ruggedized housing for marine conditions
  • Additional high rejection filtering 1614 – 1624 MHz to reduce interference from Iridium transmissions
  • Capable of using free differential corrections from MSK Beacons and SBAS
  • Recommended for best MSS reception (includes Fugro Marinestar®, OmniSTAR and CenterPoint RTX)
  • Comprehensive GNSS support
    Robust low-elevation satellite tracking
