Trimble

announced today that it will supply more than 500 Trimble® NetR9™ GNSS reference station receivers to the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, part of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, to modernize its nationwide GeoNet GNSS-based network. The receivers were purchased through the Nikon-Trimble joint venture in Japan. GeoNet provides GNSS data for a variety of applications including surveying, construction, mapping and GIS, weather forecasting and many others. In addition, the network is used to monitor the earth's crustal movements to aid in the research of seismic activity in Japan.
