Trimble Company, Cengea Solutions, Awarded Oregon Department of Forestry Contract to Provide State Forest Revenue System

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 7, 2012—Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today that Cengea Solutions, a Trimble Company, has been awarded a contract by the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) to provide a State Forest Revenue System (SFRS) to support the agency in achieving its specific business mission. All state forest lands are actively managed under adopted forest management plans to provide economic, environmental and social benefits to Oregonians. Revenue from timber sales goes to county governments and local public school districts, and from Common School Forest Lands to benefit public schools throughout the state.

ODF intends to replace its existing system with a more robust and versatile Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) solution to support current and future business requirements. The SFRS system will manage timber sales from setup of sale to closure of the sale, importing and tracking of log load tickets, management of payments and interfacing to the Statewide Financial Management System.

Esri GPS Base Station Joins National Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) Network

May 9, 2012 in Associate Membership, Business, ESRI, Geomatics, GNSS, GPS, Land Surveying, Land Surveying Equipment, Members, News, Surveying Software, Trimble

Real-Time, Precise Data Will Serve Professionals in the Redlands Community

Esri GPS Base Station GISA

The Esri GPS base station, GISA, is mounted to a building in Redlands, California.

Redlands, California—Esri recently installed a GPS base station to assist its GIS developers and to support surveyors, engineers, scientists, and those in public works and public safety in the community surrounding the Esri campus in Redlands, California. The base station, named GISA, has been accepted by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) and incorporated into the national Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) network.

“GPS, originally designed as a US Department of Defense system, has become part of everyday life, with the technology in all types of devices from smartphones to shipping containers,” said Brent Jones, Esri surveying and engineering industry manager. “The Esri GPS base station is a great benefit to the community, as professionals can use it in surveying and positioning to achieve accurate locations in real time.”

LightSquared Lets Loose Lowly Yowl of Government Bias, Collusion, and Conspiracy Theories

January 13, 2012 in Associate Membership, Business, Geomatics, GNSS, GPS, Land Surveying, Land Surveying Equipment, News, Trimble

LightSquared Lets Loose Lowly Yowl of Government Bias, Collusion, and Conspiracy Theories

Professional Land Surveyor News

Professional Land Surveyor News

Today, LightSquared latest a press release, Government Committee’s Refusal to Continue Testing Highlights Systemic Pattern of Bias and Collusion, decries its perceived treatment by the Federal Government, particularly by the National Executive Committee (EXCOM) and Advisory Board for the Space-based Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT).

LightSquared, as stated at the top of its press release,  ”is urging the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to retake the lead on government testing for GPS filtering solutions.”

LightSquared’s reasoning for this latest request, is:

“The request follows a systematic disregard for fairness and transparency by the National Executive Committee (EXCOM) and Advisory Board for the Space-based Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT). The PNT EXCOM is a government panel established to “advise and coordinate federal departments and agencies on matters concerning the global positioning system (GPS) and related systems.” A panel of non-governmental officials known as the PNT Advisory Board provides guidance to the PNT EXCOM. Members of the PNT Advisory Board have deep ties with the same GPS manufacturers who have sold poorly designed equipment to America’s farmers, public safety officials, military and government agencies.”

LightSquared Specifically Blames Trimble

MAPPS (www.mapps.org), the national association of private sector geospatial firms, today announced that Jim Kirkland, vice president and general counsel of Trimble and a leader in the effort to defend GPS users from interference by the LightSquared system proposal, will be the keynote speaker at the organizations annual Winter Conference, to be held January 22-26, 2012 at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona.

Mr. Kirkland will discuss the LightSquared issue, its impact on GPS users including consumers and the geospatial community, the current status, prospects for the future, lessons learned and how the lobbying and public relations experience can serve the profession on future issues.

Response to LightSquared Briefing Held Today on GPS Testing

Response to LightSquared Briefing Held Today on GPS Testing

Professional Land Surveyor News

Professional Land Surveyor News

The following statement in response to a briefing held today by LightSquared can be attributed to Jim Kirkland, Vice President and General Counsel of Trimble, a founding member of the Coalition to Save Our GPS.

“We look forward to studying the new test results announced today. It’s important to keep in mind that these are LightSquared-sponsored tests separate from the ongoing, independent testing being conducted under the auspices of the NTIA, and are simply one input into an overall analysis of the effect of LightSquared’s planned operations on critical GPS uses. The results of the NTIA-supervised tests of consumer and general navigation devices are expected to be available in mid-December, followed by further government-sponsored testing of high-precision GPS equipment next year. In addition, there are ongoing technical discussions between LightSquared and the FAA regarding impacts on aviation safety which remain unresolved. Once all of this testing and analysis has been completed, we will have a much more complete picture of the impacts of LightSquared’s revised proposals on GPS. It is obviously extremely premature to claim at this point that these latest tests demonstrate that LightSquared’s proposed repurposing of the mobile satellite band for terrestrial operations is “compatible” with highprecision GPS.
