Well-established features include Trimble’s unrivalled ProPoint GNSS positioning engine and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)-based tilt compensation using Trimble TIP™ technology. These features make it possible to work in dense urban environments and under tree canopy, removing the need to level the pole when capturing data points.

The new features of the R980, built on top of the proven Trimble R12i track record, deliver productivity gains that translate to cost and time savings. Our customers count on us to provide the highest levels of performance and reliability, and we will always strive to improve those gains day after day, year after year,” said Boris Skopljak, vice president, Geospatial at Trimble. “With more options to choose the best method for collecting data, more efficient workflows made possible in more locations, and trusted results, the R980 is ideal for the most demanding survey tasks. With the launch of the R980, along with the recently released Trimble R580, Trimble R780 model 2 and the Trimble Catalyst® solution, Trimble offers a complete GNSS system portfolio designed to meet the varying needs of our customers.
