SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ:TRMB) announced today that the new version of its
Trimble® TMX-2050™ display will come standard with
wireless connectivity for easy integration with the Connected Farm™
online management solution. The TMX-2050 version 3.0 also
introduces the App Central marketplace for managing download and
installation of third-party Android-based mobile applications. With
these new enhancements, farmers can improve productivity through
additional third-party mobile apps designed to address regional
farming needs as well as manage the transfer of field data from
various precision agriculture solutions without the need to
physically visit each field or manually compile information.
Wireless Connectivity on the Modern Farm
With TMX-2050 version 3.0, Trimble is making wireless
connectivity standard on the modern farm. Every new TMX-2050
display will now ship from the factory with a modem that enables
wireless data connectivity—at no additional cost to the
customer.
With wireless connectivity, farmers can view ongoing field
activities, real-time commodity prices, real-time weather
conditions to guide irrigation and field deployment decisions, and
other valuable task information in the Connected Farm
dashboard—without ever leaving the machine cab. It also enables
wireless data transfer of as-applied maps and other field
activities such as planting, spraying or harvesting, simplifying
the overall management and transfer of farm data files.
"With this release, we are reinforcing Trimble's commitment to
transforming agriculture, making wireless connectivity standard on
the farm and simplifying the way growers utilize and manage data on
their operations," said Pierre-Andre Rebeyrat, marketing director
for Trimble's Agriculture Division. "Now real-time
communication will be an integrated part of the workflow on a
modern farm."
Mobile Applications for Additional Functionality in the
Field
With the TMX-2050 version 3.0, customers now have access to the
App Central marketplace on their display for browsing, downloading
and updating apps for specific precision farming needs. App Central
introduces a new level of flexibility to the TMX-2050 display,
allowing farmers to install apps, view descriptions and images,
report issues, connect with developer partners, and stay current
with on-demand updates. Users can search and find the apps most
useful to their farm operations, language and regional compliance
requirements.
Version 3.0 also introduces several new third-party
applications, including: CoPilot Truck and DataVaxt Mobile.
- The CoPilot Truck mobile navigation app by ALK Technologies, a
Trimble Company, provides in-cab turn-by-turn navigation for large
and oversize farm vehicles based on road conditions and weight
limitations.
- The DataVaxt Mobile app is available in Swedish and enables
compliance with Swedish Department of Agriculture requirements for
reporting chemical inputs and fertilizer application.
App Central also includes Trimble's Connected Farm Field, Scout,
Fleet, and Irrigate applications for conducting field scouting,
mapping and financial activities, managing a machine fleet or
controlling irrigators from inside the tractor cab.
Some of these mobiles applications may require additional
hardware purchases, data plans and service subscriptions.

Version 3.0 of the TMX-2050 display, which comes standard with
wireless connectivity, is expected to be available in September 2015. For a limited time, growers can
