Trimble® SPS851 Modular GPS Base Station Receiver

Trimble® SPS850 Modular GPS Base Station Receiver is ideal for semi-permanent or permanent base stations setup, as well as rover applications such as mounted in a marine vessel or on a site supervisor’s vehicle. The Trimble SPS850 receivers combine the radio and GPS receiver in a single housing. This allows contractors to secure the majority of their investment inside a site trailer or carrying case, protected from the elements and/or theft, leaving only the radios outside. 
 
Available in a range of options to suit your individual applications, flexibility and performance requirements, versatile Trimble GPS receivers are your future-proof investment; the SPS850 Receiver is designed to receive current and future satellite signals, including future launches of L2C code broadcasting satellites, the L5 carrier signal and GLONASS. More satellites mean better coverage. Trimble GPS receivers are ready to receive all planned sources of GPS corrections, so you have reduced downtime and increased productivity on the job site.
