Fast Precise Positioning with Trimble's 5700 GPS Receiver and the RTK Advantage

Trimble's new 5700 survey grade GPS receiver provides marine surveyors and engineers with Trimble's RTK Advantage for hydrographic survey and marine construction: precision, a high position update rate, and low latency.

The versatile 5700 GPS receiver is ideal for marine survey and construction applications:

  • Use the 5700 for hydrographic survey operations—its accurate 3D positioning measures and compensates for vertical motion caused by disturbances such as tide and heave.
  • Pole-mount the 5700 for construction tasks such as staking out, or for conducting topographic and control surveys.
  • Achieve precise positioning for pile and structure placements with the 5700 mounted on a construction barge.

For an optimum solution with maximum performance and productivity, customers can combine the 5700 GPS receiver with Trimble's HYDROpro™software.

Features and Benefits

Trimble's 5700 GPS receiver provides the following key benefits:

  • The RTK advantage – The 5700 is ideal for applications that require real-time vertical motion measurement, under-keel clearance, or automatic winch and crane control.
  • WAAS/EGNOS – The 5700 provides WAAS or EGNOS tracking, or accepts differential corrections.
  • Easy configuration and integration – Easily reconfigure the 5700 for different applications using the receiver's stored configuration files. Alternatively, configure and monitor the receiver from a PC using the software provided.

The HYDROpro software enhances this ease of use even further by automatically configuring the receiver using proprietary communications. Standard NMEA messages such as GGA, GGK, GSV, and ZDA are also available for other external applications.

  • Interoperability – Interface the receiver to a software system using NMEA or GSOF messages. Alternatively, interface the receiver to a controller running the Trimble Survey Controller software.
  • Versatile – Use the receiver as a reference or roving receiver, mounted on a vessel, in a backpack, or on a pole.
