Mapping & GIS Wireless Carriers / Cellular Phones
Welcome to the Mapping & GIS wireless carrier and cellular phone webpage. Wireless communications are increasingly a vital component of a GPS/GIS data collection and maintenance system. Wireless communications can be used to access real-time differential correction information from a VRS™ (Virtual Reference Station) system, to download or upload data to and from a GIS, or to access background imagery from an image server.
Trimble® Mapping & GIS systems provide built-in Wireless LAN and Bluetooth® enabling connection to a wide variety of cellular phones and carrier plans.
The following information on wireless carrier coverage and cellular phones, that have been tested by Trimble, is designed to assist in determining which wireless carriers and phones are suited for use as part of a GPS/GIS data collection and maintenance solution. Local conditions do have an impact on the availability and reliability of wireless coverage—therefore your local Trimble dealer may be best suited to assist with a recommendation.
