Your Safety Net in the Sky: RTX as Positioning Insurance

Never Let Dead Zones Stop Your Progress

Picture this: You’re three hours into a boundary survey on a 500-acre ranch property. Cell towers are nowhere in sight. Your VRS connection drops. In the past, this meant packing up, driving back, or setting up a base station — turning a profitable day into a loss...

Trimble's CenterPoint® RTX is your positioning insurance, a term coined by Trimble that perfectly captures what this technology means for your business. Just like insurance protects your equipment investment, RTX protects your productivity when terrestrial correction sources fail.

Understanding "Positioning Insurance": Your Always-On Backup

Positioning insurance is a fundamental shift in how you approach field operations. CenterPoint RTX delivers corrections via geostationary satellites, completely independent of cellular networks or radio signals. This means you maintain better than 2 cm horizontal accuracy and 5 cm vertical accuracy regardless of your location or local infrastructure.

Think of it as your correction service safety net that’s always there when:

• Cell coverage gaps leave you stranded in rural areas
• VRS network outages interrupt your workflow
• Radio dead spots prevent base-rover communication
• Unexpected equipment failures compromise your base station

With convergence times under 1 minute in most of the USA and globally available coverage...RTX transforms from a backup solution to a viable primary correction method that moves as fast as you do.

Coverage That Follows Your Business

RTX corrections are generated from Trimble’s worldwide network of ground-based GNSS tracking stations, using absolute positioning techniques to model and correct error sources in real-time. The data undergoes integrity monitoring both pre- and post-broadcast, with AES encryption preventing spoofing attempts.

Available delivery methods include:

• Satellite L-Band: Works anywhere with a clear sky view
• Internet (NTRIP): Optional when cellular is available
• Seamless switching: Automatic failover between delivery methods

This dual-delivery approach means you’re never dependent on a single point of failure. The satellites are always there, even when nothing else is.

Making RTX Work for You:

1. As Primary Correction Method

For surveyors covering large geographic areas or working in remote locations, RTX completely eliminates base station logistics. Deploy all receivers as rovers, maintain consistent datum across projects, and remove the complexity of managing multiple VRS subscriptions.

2. As "Positioning Insurance"

Continue using your preferred RTK or VRS workflow, knowing RTX provides unlimited backup through xFill Premium. When outages occur, there’s no scramble for alternatives. You continue with survey-grade accuracy.

3. As Competitive Advantage

While competitors struggle with correction availability, you’re delivering on schedule. RTX becomes your differentiator; the reason clients choose you for challenging projects where others can’t deliver.

Your Next Step Toward Uninterrupted Productivity

Positioning insurance through CenterPoint RTX transforms uncertainty into confidence. It’s knowing that dead zones, network outages, and equipment failures can’t stop your progress. And it’s the freedom to take on projects anywhere, anytime, without compromise.
Every new Trimble GNSS receiver purchased through AllTerra Central now includes a 12-month RTX subscription at NO additional cost. That’s a 1 full year to experience the peace of mind that comes with true positioning insurance.
