Customers can now access Positioning-as-a-Service to collect geo-location data with Trimble or third-party apps on smartphones, tablets and mobile handhelds. When combined with a small, lightweight, plug-and-play digital antenna and subscription to the Catalyst service, the receiver provides on-demand GNSS positioning capabilities to transform consumer devices into centimeter-accurate mobile data collection systems.
Catalyst extends the accessibility of Trimble's high-accuracy positioning to a broader base of users easily and with only a few components, which include:
- Any location-enabled mobile app
- A Catalyst subscription, with accuracy options ranging from one-meter to centimeter level
- Trimble's small, lightweight DA1 antenna that plugs directly into Android smartphones and tablets
The Trimble Catalyst solution includes a software development kit for building mobile applications with integrated professional workflows. Both Trimble and third-party development teams have produced a range of Catalyst-enabled applications for Geographic Information System data acquisition, cadastral land management, topographic mapping and ground control for unmanned aircraft systems.
