Trimble R780 Integrated GNSS System

The Trimble R780 GNSS receiver is a highly accurate GNSS system built to handle the toughest survey environments. Powered by industry-leading Trimble GNSS positioning technologies, the ultra-rugged R780 elevates productivity in one adaptable, scalable system.

Enjoy the freedom to choose the configuration and features tailored precisely to meet the needs of your job, and the flexibility to add more functionality as requirements change. Build the receiver you need today. Scale with ease tomorrow.

Built-in Trimble TIP technology allows you to survey faster with magnetically immune Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) based tilt compensation that helps you quickly, accurately, and safely stake out or measure points without levelling the pole.

• 8 mm H / 15 mm V Real time kinematic precision
• Receive & Transmit 2W UHF radio
• 336 GNSS channels
• Internal Storage 9 GB
• Integrated GNSS antenna
• Ingress Protection IP68

The R780 GNSS Smart Antenna can utilize more GNSS constellations, satellites, and signals than traditional GPS, so it delivers greater accuracy in more challenging conditions such as under tree canopy and in congested construction sites. That also means more uptime using the system and more productivity for job crews.

The R780 is powered by advanced Trimble R-Track technology and the following satellite systems and correction sources;

• GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS and BeiDou Navigation Satellite System
• CenterPoint RTX
• Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) such as WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, and QZSS
• Precision GNSS base station (RTK corrections)
• DGPS using UHF radio links (RTCM)
• Virtual Reference Station (VRS)
• Trimble Internet Base Station Service (IBSS)
• Trimble xFill technology

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Rugged, All-in-one Solution

• Combines unprecedented strength and durability into a compact form that is easy to use and virtually indestructible
• The most rugged receiver Trimble has ever built, so you won’t experience downtime with equipment that doesn’t work
• Sensor onboard shows verticality on field controller screen; in the dark or hard to reach locations, work more efficiently and save time when you can’t easily see the rod bubble
• Longer battery life in the field keeps you working longer

Tilt Compensation

Using the Trimble R780 GNSS Smart Antenna with tilt compensation and Trimble Siteworks Positioning Software, capture accurate points while standing, walking or driving the site in a vehicle, while the receiver is not level. From inside the vehicle, contractors can set the height of the antenna and quickly interrogate surface models using the real-time 3D surface display. Tilt compensation allows for faster data collection—create larger digital terrain models faster and with improved accuracy.

Advantages of Tilt Compensation

• Easy to learn for beginners, saves time for experienced surveyors
• Easily and safely survey hard to reach areas (corners, traffic lanes, utility flowlines)
• From a moving vehicle, capture higher accuracy measurements on steeper slopes
• Capture more accurate volume measurements to save time and money on material planning
• Auto-measure antenna height
• Faster measurements, more efficient stake-outs
• No magnetic interference

Flexibility

• Can be easily moved from carrying case to range pole, tripod, t-bar, or vehicle with a single click
• Easier and faster to get going and allows for more flexibility of operation techniques

Trimble xFill Technology: Trimble xFill technology expands site productivity by allowing short excursions into valleys and other locations where GNSS corrections were not previously available

Trimble ProPoint Technology: Trimble ProPoint GNSS technology uses all available signals to provide survey-grade positioning in many areas where other GNSS systems either can’t provide a solution at all or produce unreliable error estimates.

Trimble CenterPoint RTX: Trimble CenterPoint RTX is the best satellite-delivered GNSS positioning service for your most precise jobs, providing you with the freedom to work anywhere without interruptions.
