SAN DIEGO, June 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ: TRMB) introduced today its Trimble® TDC100 handheld data
collector. An entry-level Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
device for a variety of Geographic Information System (GIS)
applications, the Trimble TDC100 combines both smartphone and
ruggedized data collection capabilities in a single, mobile device.
The Android-based TDC100 is flexible and can run commercially
available or in-house developed applications on a professional,
IP-67 ruggedized platform with a sunlight readable display and user
replaceable batteries. The built-in GNSS receiver also provides
real-time accuracy.
The announcement was made at the Esri User Conference.
The Trimble TDC100 is available in two models for the
budget-conscious GIS professional. Both models are available with
an Android operating system and Wi-Fi, with an optional 4G LTE
cellular version. Outfitted with a bright, high-resolution 5.3 inch
display, an 8 MP (Wi-Fi model) or 13 MP (4G LTE model) camera, and
Li-Ion batteries in standard (3100mAh) or enhanced (4800mAh)
capacity, the TDC100 supports GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou as well as
Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) capabilities to leverage
improved real-time accuracy.
"GIS professionals using GNSS handheld devices for a wide range
of data collection applications are expressing a desire for
smartphone like capabilities in a built-to-last form factor," said
Ron Bisio, vice president of
Trimble's Geospatial Division. "We believe the TDC100 will be a
workhorse. It has been designed for mobile workers who need a
functional field computer that is tougher than a consumer-grade
device, while providing easy-to-use features and convenience that
people have come to expect. Users can collect and retrieve highly
accurate spatial data anytime, and from virtually any place, while
remaining in touch with the office—with a single device."
Availability
Trimble TDC100 is expected to be available through Trimble's
Geospatial distribution channel in mid-August 2016. For more information,
