Septentrio has released its 5.1.0 firmware for the PolaRx5 product line of GNSS reference receivers. The PolaRx5 GNSS reference receivers include the PolaRx5 for Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) and network operations, time and frequency transfer, and space weather applications.
The 5.1.0 firmware includes new features for file management, usability, security, and seismic monitoring, the company said.
By Inside GNSSThe International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) FIG Working Week 2017 will take place on May 29 – June 2, 2017, at the Messukeskus Expo and Convention Centre in Helsinki, Finland.
Registration will open in November, 2016. Abstract submissions are now closed.
By Inside GNSSApplanix has released its POSPac MMS 8 GNSS-aided inertial post-processing software for georeferencing data collected from cameras, LIDARs, multi-beam sonars, and other sensors on mobile platforms.
The unit, introduced at the InterGEO trade fair in Hamburg, Germany, uses Trimble’s CenterPoint RTX subscription service. The Trimble CenterPoint RTX service allows land, air, marine, and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms to achieve centimeter-level accuracy within one hour after data collection with just an internet connection, the company said.
By Inside GNSSTrimble has released the SX10 scanning total station that merges high-speed 3D scanning, imaging technology, and total station measurements for surveyors, the company said.
"This is the top one or two [products] we have launched in the 20 years I’ve been here," said Ron Bisio, Trimble geospatial division vice president, at a media day in Westminster, Colorado, October 5.
By Inside GNSSThe 2016 Trimble Dimensions user conference and exhibition will take place at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas on November 7, 8 and 9.
The annual event gathers users of Trimble’s products including positioning technology for unmanned systems as well as mapping, GIS, surveying, photgrammetry and remote sensing and other technologies of interest to readers of Inside GNSS.
Four hundred and fifty technical sessions and networking events give attendees an opportunity to network widely within and among industry groups.
By Inside GNSSThe topic of the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) working week 2016 is "Recovery from Disaster." It will take place at the Horncastle arena and Addington Events Centre in Christchurch, New Zealand from May 2 through May 6. Appropriately enough, Christchurch has deep familiarity with recovery from disaster after the 2010-11 earthquake sequence that took place there.
Abstract submissions are now closed.
By Inside GNSSThe 2016 InterGEO Trade Fair and Conference for Geodesy, Geoinformation and Land Management will take place at the fairgrounds —Hamburg Messe und Congress (HMC)—in Hamburg, Germany on October 11, 12 and 13.
Now 22 years old, the fair attracts 16,000 visitors from 92 countries who process, use or analyze geodata online or in the field.
The conference will cover the latest developments in surveying, geoinformation, remote sensing and photogrammetry and allied technologies. Proceedings are conducted in German and English.
By Inside GNSSThe 16th International Symposium On GNSS 2015 will be held November 16 – 19, 2015 at Miyakomesse in Kyoto, Japan.
ISGNSS 2015 will be co-located with the Asia and Pacific Rim meeting of the CGIC (Civil GPS Service Interface Committee) to help improve understanding of the world trends in developing and deploying GNSS. The program will include keynote addresses, oral presentations, interactive poster sessions, panel sessions, open interactive forums and a trade exhibition.
By Inside GNSSNow that we have had GNSS-driven precision in the fields for nearly 20 years, with widespread and growing acceptance by farm vehicle manufacturers and farmers, what lies ahead for precision agriculture?
By Inside GNSSNOAA’s National Geodetic Survey (NGS) Geospatial Summit will be held at the Crystal City Hilton in Arlington, Virginia on April 13-14, 2015.
Registration is now open. Early registration ends March 13, 2015.
NGS will be hosting three events, each one providing a venue for NGS to share information about its products and services as well as hear from its customers across the public and private sectors.
By Inside GNSSIn the past 20 years GPS has simultaneously revolutionized both our modern infrastructure (by providing real-time navigation, mapping, and timing support) and our geodetic/surveying capabilities (by providing millimeter/centimeter-level positioning). At this point, most of the GNSS innovations we expect to see in the next decade will come from calculating positions more accurately and faster, while expanding from GPS to use of all available GNSS signals.
