With Trimble's recent run up (the chart oddly enough matches QTM's, Why? No clue...) with no pull-back and uncertainty in the economy and no dividend to be had here, this is ripe for shorting.

Trimble is one of the best companies to invest in from quarter to quarter. One of the easiest short term gain picks and short term short picks. It never really trades sideways, it is either building up or pulling back. They don't offer a dividend so it will always have a max value and it trades pretty much along side its exchange.

New Trimble Reference Receiver Raises the Bar for GNSS CORS Infrastructure and Network Applications

SAVANNAH, Ga., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) today introduced an innovative Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) reference receiver for precise scientific and network infrastructure applications -- the Trimble(R) NetR8(TM) GNSS reference receiver. The new reference receiver is versatile and can support the most demanding applications for the earth science community and for the surveying, construction, mapping or agricultural industries.

The announcement was made today at the ION GNSS 2008 Conference.

The NetR8 reference station can operate as a campaign receiver for post processing, as a Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) receiver, portable base station for Real Time Kinematic (RTK) applications or as a scientific reference station collecting information for specialized studies.

Full featured and offering the complete functionality of a geodetic reference station, the Trimble NetR8 reference receiver can be used as a standalone receiver or as part of a network solution. Specific applications include high-accuracy positioning as part of a Trimble VRS(TM) network, support for differential global positioning system (DGPS) MSK beacons, and integrity monitoring of networks and physical infrastructure such as bridges, dams and mines. It is also an ideal solution for expanding the geographic coverage area of an existing network, or for adding GNSS support through Sparse GLONASS technology, a unique Trimble technology that provides dual- constellation, fully-modeled RTK data when widely spaced GLONASS-capable Trimble reference stations are implemented in a network comprised mainly of GPS-only receivers. The Trimble NetR8 is also able to support installation as a dedicated rover for VRS network performance analysis.

The Trimble NetR8 receiver has four gigabytes of onboard memory and 50 Hz operation speed, making it the fastest reference receiver in the industry to date. Large-capacity onboard data storage allows post-processed results for reference stations to be computed when data connectivity is not available, or for specific scientific applications.

Using Trimble's exclusive R-Track(TM) technology, the NetR8 reference receiver has 76 channels and supports GPS L1, L2, L2C and L5 signals as well as GLONASS L1/L2 signals. Supporting these signals provides users with every possible combination for signal processing from today's GNSS constellations. There are also four channels dedicated to tracking Space Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS), including Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) in North America, European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS) in Europe, Multi-functional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS) in Japan, Omnistar services and others.

Optimized for field use, the lightweight and rugged Trimble NetR8 reference receiver consumes little power and can be used for projects with remote connectivity and in extreme weather conditions. It is IP67-rated and the physical memory is built into the circuit board, providing greater protection of data. Multiple built-in serial ports supply communications and power to support field use, whether connecting to a radio for RTK surveys, direct communication with a satellite phone for remote operations or Bluetooth communication with a cell phone for real-time data streaming. In addition, both power and Ethernet can be conveniently supplied over a single cable using Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology.

"The Trimble NetR8 represents the ultimate performance in today's modern CORS technology," said Pierre Desjardins, business manager for Trimble's Infrastructure business area. "Trimble has once again redefined the industry standard for ultra-fast, high-reliability, multi-constellation reference receivers and is committed to developing solutions with the latest GNSS technology that meet the complex needs of our customers."

Fund manager favors Priceline, Trimble Navigation, Nintendo

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- As the technology sector confronts the global economic slowdown, mutual-fund manager Ian Warmerdam is focusing on firms tapping new growth areas.

Warmerdam is also a fan of Trimble Navigation Ltd. (TRMB:Trimble Navigation Ltd (TRMB 31.52, -1.60, -4.8%) , a maker of global positioning system technology, whose shares have jumped 19% since the beginning of the year.

While GPS sales have taken off among consumers, Warmerdam said the need for real-time navigational technology is also great and still relatively unmet in the commercial and agricultural sectors.

"They are involved in engineering and construction surveying equipment, and have large end-markets like infrastructure and in the building of roads," Warmerdam said. "These markets tend to be underrepresented when it comes to GPS. The technology is still fairly new to some extent. But it's more and more of a necessity. ... There's plenty of room for growth left."
He cited the benefit of GPS technology in agriculture, where it can be used to enhance yield and minimize waste by more accurately deploying and operating farming equipment.
Like other sectors, Trimble is vulnerable to the global slowdown, which has led to a slump in construction and infrastructure projects. However, Warmerdam added, agriculture remains "a big area of growth." "The acceleration in agriculture has more than offset any slowdown in construction," he added.
In Friday's session, shares of Trimble Navigation lost 53 cents to close at $36.04.

About CFCU
CFCU is the Central Financing and Contracting Unit at the Croatian Ministry of Finance and is in charge of the realization of National Phare 2005 Programs financed by EU.

About Trimble VRS Technology
Trimble VRS technology uses Trimble RTKNet(TM) software and provides high-accuracy, RTK GNSS positioning for wider areas. The VRS network can be continuously available without setting up a base station and provides common control anywhere in the network.

Because Trimble RTKNet software is able to process the entire network simultaneously, Trimble VRS networks offer greater quality control and higher data accuracy at longer distances. In the field, the farther users get from a reference station using conventional RTK, the more susceptible they become to reduced accuracy and performance due to systematic errors such as ionospheric and tropospheric effects. In a Trimble VRS network, RTKNet software provides a fully modeled solution that factor in potential systematic errors. Users connect into the system using a wireless connection; the software acknowledges the users field positions and allows them to operate as though there is a reference station right next to their rover. As a result, the PPM error is eliminated or significantly reduced, allowing surveyors to achieve RTK precision over much greater distances with fewer reference stations.

In at $35.50 since I've always liked the company and wanted to have some shares in my long term portfolio. Picked up a few shares on Friday after seeing the volume spike.
