Trimble SPS780 and SPS880 Smart GPS Antennas

The Trimble® SPS780 and SPS880 Smart GPS Antennas are the simple solution to all your site measurement and stakeout applications. Key components of the Trimble Site Positioning System, these high-accuracy smart antennas use GPS satellite signals to compute its exact locations and give contractors an easy-to-use, wide area measurement system for a variety of site preparation and grade checking applications.

The Trimble SPS780 and SPS880 Smart GPS Antennas can be used as either a rover for site measurement and stakeout, or as a base station for site measurement and machine control operations. Rover set up is fast and easy-just switch on the receiver, start up the controller and you're ready to go! And because the GPS receiver, GPS antenna, radio, radio antenna and battery are integrated into one housing, you don't have to deal with cables and multiple components.

As L2C and L5 carrier signals become available, the Trimble SPS880 Smart GPS Antennas are ready to track them. The Trimble SPS880 Smart GPS Antenna is also equipped with the ability to track and use GLONASS satellites. More satellites mean better coverage in harsh GPS environments such as deep cuts or quarries. Trimble GPS antennas are ready to receive all planned sources of GPS corrections, so you have reduced downtime and increased productivity on the job site.

Trimble SPS780 and SPS880 Smart GPS Antennas offer a range of options and upgrades to accommodate changing jobsite conditions.
