Rugged handhelds for high-accuracy GIS data collection and maintenance
(by Conrad H. Blickenstorfer)
Trimble considers the GeoXT handheld from the GeoExplorer 3000 series to be the essential tool for maintaining your GIS. The device essentially combines a veru high performance GPS receiver with a rugged handheld computer.
In May of 2008, Trimble introduced a significant upgrade to its Trimble Geo lineup of rugged GPS handhelds. As before, there are three models that are identical except for the performance and accuracy of their internal GPS circuitry. The GeoXM is an affordable solution that delivers 1 to 3 meter accuracy. The GeoXT is geared towards maintaining precise GIS databases by delivering sub-meter accuracy. The GeoXH, finally, is Trimble's top-of-the-line solution for high accuracy GIS data collection. By using Trimble's trademarked H-Star technology, the GeoXH delivers sub-foot accuracy. Add an optional Zephyr antenna, and the GeoXH becomes accurate to an amazing four inches.
The Trimble GeoExplorer 2008 Series handhelds are affordable, all-in-one mobile GIS solutions running Windows Mobile 6.0 Classic Edition on a 520 MHz version of Marvell's PXA270 processor. They now have twice the RAM and Flash of their predecessors, offering 128MB of RAM and 1GB of onboard Flash storage which can be supplemented via SD or SDHC cards in the sealed SD slot. With a footprint of 3.9 x 8.5 inches and being about 3 inches thick, the 1.75 pound Geos are relatively large and heavy for handhelds. That's because they are not only rugged, but pack a large full-shift battery, as well as fully integrated GPS receivers and antennas.
Among other signicant upgrades is a switch from QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) to full VGA (480 x 640 pixel) resolution, upgrade from 802.11b to 802.11b/g WiFi, and enhanced ruggedness. The new units are now sealed to IP55 specifications, which means they are immune not only to water spray, but low pressure water jets from all directions. The operating temperature range is now also considerably wider, from -4 all the way to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
These being Trimble devices optimized for mapping and GIS applications, GPS performance is first rate. The units differentially correct location in real time by using corrections from satellite-based augmentation systems such as WAAS or EGNOS. They can also use their own internal Bluetooth radio to connect to a dedicated Trimble GeoBeacon receiver, receive real-time corrections from VRS networks, as well as download background map data. For enhanced connectivity, the GeoExplorer 2008 Series' integrated GPS receiver provides users location information for navigation and data collection.
Bluetooth can also be used to connect to BT-enabled laser rangefinders, barcode scanners, and digital cameras to provide additional capabilities and increased productivity in the field.
Like all Trimble handhelds, the Geo series can be used with TerraSync software, the Trimble GPScorrect and GPS analyst extensions for ESRI's ArcPad. TrimPix software provides wireless camera support, and there is GPS Pathfinder Office.
As of mid-2012, the GeoExplorer platform remains available, but it is now split into the GeoExplorer 3000 Series that uses an updated version of the models introduced in 2008, and the 6000 Series that's based on the TI OMAP 3503 processor and comes in GeoXH (deci/centimeter accuracy) and GeoXT (submeter accuracy) models.
Decimeter accuracy, Trimble productivity, handheld convenience
The Trimble® GeoExplorer® 6000 series takes GNSS productivity to a whole new level. Bringing together the essential functionality for high-accuracy field work in one device, the GeoXH™ handheld delivers real-time decimeter (10 cm / 4 inch) accuracy positioning, high quality photo capture, and integrated Internet connectivity options.
Together with the latest field software enhancements and GNSS innovations – including Trimble Floodlight™ satellite shadow reduction technology – the GeoXH handheld establishes a new standard for GNSS system performance and handheld data capture.
The Trimble® GeoExplorer® 6000 series takes GNSS productivity to a whole new level. Combining submeter accuracy GNSS, high quality photo capture, wireless Internet, and connectivity options in a single product, the Trimble GeoXT™handheld is the ideal field device for organizations mapping critical assets and infrastructure, or for anyone needing dependable submeter accuracy GNSS data, simple operation, and repeatable results.
Together with the latest field software enhancements and GNSS innovations – including Trimble Floodlight™ satellite shadow reduction technology – the GeoXT handheld is the ideal submeter field solution for any industry, including utility companies, local government organizations, and federal agencies.
Decimeter accuracy without the wait
For field workers recording the location of buried infrastructure, distinguishing between closely paced assets, or relocating buried equipment, the GeoXH handheld delivers the accuracy and speed required to ensure that the work of recording new asset locations or navigating back to previously captured assets is fast and reliable.
The GeoXH handheld is equipped with a 220 channel GNSS receiver capable of tracking GPS and GLONASS satellites together with an integrated dual-frequency (L1/L2) GNSS antenna. In conjunction with Trimble field software, the GeoXH handheld uses Trimble H-Star™ technology to deliver decimeter accuracy in the field, eliminating the need for backoffice processing and giving the confidence that the job is done right while still on site.
Floodlight satellite shadow reduction
Trees and buildings create shadows, limiting the environments where reliable high-accuracy GNSS data collection can be performed. Using the innovative Trimble Floodlight satellite shadow reduction technology, the GeoXH handheld continues to deliver productive, usable positioning data in areas where legacy GNSS receiver systems cannot.
With Floodlight technology, the GeoXT receiver can compute positions even with very weak satellite signals. Floodlight technology increases the number of positions that are gathered in difficult locations, and boosts accuracy in those places where normally only low accuracy data is available. With the GeoXH handheld, field crew can now work with fewer disruptions, meaning better data, faster, at less cost.
Never-seen-before display performance
The GeoXT handheld includes a sunlight-optimized, display designed specifically for outdoor operation. It maintains exceptional clarity in all outdoor conditions, including direct sunlight. Text is crisp and easy to read. Background maps and photos are rich and vibrant. At 4.2″ (10.7 cm), the display is also big, so the touch panel is spacious and easy to control.
Work online, anywhere
With the GeoXH handheld, wireless connectivity options including cellular, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® technology ensure that field workers can remain in contact with the office and each other, even from remote locations.
An optional integrated 3.5G cellular modem allows continuous network and Internet access to real time map data, web-based services, Trimble VRS™ corrections, and live update of field information. Bluetooth technology also enables wireless connection to other external devices such as Bluetooth-enabled laser range finders, barcode scanners, or underground pipe locators.
High quality photo capture
A photograph is often the best way to capture information about an asset, event, or site. The GeoXT handheld includes a 5 megapixel autofocus camera with geo-tagging capability. The camera can be controlled by the Trimble TerraSync&trade software and other third party applications, so photo capture and linking of images to GIS features is seamless and simple to integrate with existing data capture workflows
Designed for wor
The GeoExplorer 6000 series was designed with a single goal in mind – delivering a high-accuracy handheld GNSS system that works faster, longer, and in more places than any other. The Lithium-Ion battery provides more than 11 hours of GNSS operation on a single charge, and can be swapped on-the-go without shutting down the device – enabling near-continuous operation and minimizing field worker downtime.
The GeoXT handheld is powered by a super-fast OMAP 3503 series processor and 256 MB RAM. With 2 GB of internal storage and the capacity to add an additional 32 GB via SDHC card, the GeoXH handheld has the capacity and power you need to work with high resolution maps and complex datasets.
The fully ruggedized IP65 construction is designed to withstand the harshest environments. Wherever field workers go, they can take the GeoXT handheld with the confidence that the equipment can handle the toughest conditions.
These smart design features combine with unprecedented accuracy and productivity to deliver the ultimate high performance handheld field solution.
The GeoXH Handheld. Designed for work.
