Embedded GNSS-Inertial Systems for Continuous Mobile Positioning and Direct Georeferencing Applications
The Trimble AP50 GNSS-Inertial OEM System is an embedded GNSS-Inertial OEM board set plus Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) in a compact form factor. It is designed to give system integrators the ability to harness the best in GNSS multi-frequency positioning technology, with the superior capabilities of inertial data for continuous mobile positioning in poor signal environments, and for the orientation of imaging sensors.

The Trimble AP50 features the high-performance precision BD960 GNSS receiver and the industry leading Applanix IN-Fusion™ GNSS-Inertial integration technology running on a powerful, dedicated Inertial Engine (IE) board. This flexible, modular design ensures the ability to perform full high-powered GNSS-inertial processing without sacrificing performance, and an upgrade path to next generation GNSS boards as they become available
