|
Trimble has acquired the Terralite assets from Novariant to expand its portfolio of positioning solutions. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.  The Terralite XPS technology is a scalable infrastructure that generates signals for real-time positioning to augment existing Global Positioning System (GPS) coverage. Using a network of ground-based transmitter stations, the technology broadcasts a proprietary signal to one or more mobile GPS+XPS receivers. It allow operators of GPS-enabled machines, such as drills, bulldozers, shovels and haul trucks, to receive continuous real-time positioning information in locations where conventional GPS satellite signals may be obstructed or unavailable.Bryn Fosburgh, vice president of Trimble said the solution can improve the efficiency and productivity of surface mining and other high-value site operations challenged by limited or no GPS coverage. Operations such as open pit mining can enhance the continuity, efficiency and productivity of GPS applications by deploying the Terralite technology to have direct control of positioning coverage in their area, Trimble said in a statement. The company plans to report the Terralite business as part of the Engineering and Construction segment. |
