Trimble Introduces Lower Power GNSS-Inertial Boards for High Precision and Control Applications

Trimble introduced a new family of Trimble® BD GNSS boards for high-precision guidance and control applications. The BD boards' simple connectivity and configuration allow system integrators and OEMs to easily add GNSS positioning and orientation—with the ability to upgrade its capabilities—using the same board footprint, connectors and software interface for specialized and custom hardware solutions.

The compact Trimble BD boards include a broad range of receiver capabilities, from high-accuracy GNSS only to full GNSS-Inertial features for positioning and 3-D orientation. Firmware options are upgradeable, allowing functionality to be added as requirements change. Product manufacturers in markets such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), autonomous vehicles, fleet management and aviation now have the ability to offer customers an extensive range of capabilities to meet all their needs.

The low-power BD family of boards includes the BD940 GNSS and GNSS-Inertial boards and all new top-of-the-line BD990 GNSS, GNSS-Heading and GNSS-Inertial boards, enabling customers to choose the most appropriate receiver for their applications. In addition, the BX940 and BX992 are available in a rugged enclosure for applications used in harsh environments....continued ...
