Ordnance Survey chooses KOREC and Trimble R980 in nationwide GNSS upgrade
Press Office
The OS move to Trimble UK distributor, KOREC, has been based on both the advanced performance and productivity that the top-tier Trimble R980 Receivers can deliver, and their easy integration with OS’s existing data collection and handling software, the Esri suite of ArcGIS products.
The R980 Receivers brings together several top Trimble GNSS technologies and are particularly suitable for OS through features such as Trimble CenterPoint® RTX corrections for RTK level accuracy worldwide delivered via satellite or internet, without the need for a local base station or VRS network.
"We’re extremely proud to be supporting Ordnance Survey with the supply of Trimble R980 GNSS Receivers following a successful tender. This significant contract reflects not only the performance and reliability of Trimble’s leading-edge GNSS technology, but also the confidence that OS has placed in KOREC as a long-term technology partner. We look forward to supporting OS over the next five years and ensuring their teams have the tools they need to maintain the highest mapping standards."
Michael McEvoy, Principal Production Consultant at OS, said:
"Ordnance Survey is pivotal in supporting the government, businesses, and individuals by maintaining and updating the digital master map of Britain with 20,000 changes a day. Our field surveyors therefore need a modern, robust, and accurate GNSS system to assist with the capture of our data which will serve them effectively now and into the future. The KOREC Group has provided OS with a great solution that integrates into our existing production environment. It will also enable our surveyors to use new technologies and capture tools to improve efficiency, whilst other features will enable work in remote areas, reliably and to high precision."
