Trimble’s new SiteVision system uses augmented reality (AR) to visualize 2D and 3D data on outdoor project sites with cellular or internet. Integrating hardware and software in a lightweight handheld or pole-mounted solution, it displays 3D models and assets in a real-world environment at a 1:1 scale, from any angle or position. Trimble announced the product at the INTERGEO tradeshow in Germany.

One of the biggest 5G network deployment challenges is synchronizing higher volumes of more densely packed base stations. Another is keeping services operating through GNSS lapses due to vulnerabilities such as jamming, spoofing or loss of signal. Microchip Technology Inc., via its Microsemi subsidiary, is solving these and other challenges for networks with additions to its Precision Time Protocol (PTP) PackeTime® portfolio including the TimeProvider 4100 Release 2.0. The TimeProvider release adds 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) support, a Boundary Clock operation mode that lowers operational costs, and other enhancements to improve how timing flows are distributed from multiple sources to a network’s base stations and other endpoints.
