Trimble unveiled two comprehensive positioning system portfolios at INTERGEO 2025, designed to meet evolving demands in the geospatial industry. The Applanix POS LVX+ and Applanix POS AVX RTX solutions deliver unparalleled accuracy and efficiency for land-based and airborne mobile mapping applications through next-generation technology.
Both portfolios feature an all-in-one approach to precise positioning and orientation, including a one-year subscription to Trimble CenterPoint RTX correction service and Applanix POSPac Complete software for desktop and cloud applications. This integration of real-time and post-processed data enables global coverage without traditional GNSS base stations while avoiding complications from different local datums or epochs.
The systems achieve centimeter-level accuracy and incorporate Trimble IonoGuard technology for advanced mitigation against ionospheric disruptions, ensuring optimal productivity across diverse operational environments.
“By bundling both real-time and post-processed RTX into the POS LVX+ land and POS AVX RTX air solutions for mobile mapping, these ready-to-use systems simplify procurement and enable immediate deployment,” said Steve Woolven, president and general manager of Applanix at Trimble. “These portfolios enable our customers to tackle the most complex mapping projects and ensure optimal accuracy for final deliverables.”
Tailored Solutions for Land and Air Applications
The POS LVX+ portfolio, available in six models, offers smaller, lighter, and more cost-effective solutions featuring rugged design and high-quality components. The system incorporates Applanix IN-Fusion+ multi-sensor aided inertial engine, maintaining performance in challenging environments including urban canyons and tree canopy coverage. Onboard and external inertial measurement units enhance reliability for projects utilizing LiDAR sensors, cameras, fleet management, and automotive applications.
The Applanix POS AVX RTX portfolio includes four variants for mapping at different flying heights with enhanced orientation accuracy. The system features over-the-air correction technology achieving superior positioning, velocity, and orientation accuracy up to 0.03 horizontal meters root mean square and 0.06 vertical meters RMS without additional setup or infrastructure. Robust hardware includes advanced inertial measurement units and FAA-certified antenna and cabling.
The combination of real-time and post-processed RTX correction data represents a significant advancement for time-critical missions, large-scale corridor mapping, and projects in remote or inaccessible areas. Both systems will be available in the first quarter of 2026 through Trimble Applanix sales channels. After the initial twelve-month period, customers can purchase CenterPoint RTX license renewals and POSPac Complete term licenses.
