Trimble Applanix (TrimbleĀ®) has unveiled two new positioning system portfolios designed for mobile mapping and direct georeferencing: the Applanix POS LVX+ and Applanix POS AVX RTX.
Both portfolios were showcased at INTERGEO 2025 in Frankfurt, Germany.
The new portfolios are designed to deliver accuracy and efficiency for a range of land and airborne mobile mapping applications. Both systems provide an all-in-one approach to precise positioning and orientation, and include a one-year subscription to the Trimble CenterPoint RTX correction service and Applanix POSPac Complete software, which includes post-processed CenterPoint RTX (POSPac PP-RTX).
The integration of real-time and post-processed data is designed to help users achieve global coverage without the need for traditional GNSS base stations. The systems are engineered to provide centimeter-level accuracy and support Trimble IonoGuard technology for advanced mitigation against ionospheric disruptions.
Steve Woolven, President and General Manager of Applanix at Trimble, said, āBy bundling both real-time and post-processed RTX into the POS LVX+ land and POS AVX RTX air solutions for mobile mapping, these ready-to-use systems simplify procurement and enable immediate deployment. These portfolios enable our customers to tackle the most complex mapping projects and ensure optimal accuracy for final deliverables.ā
The POS LVX+ portfolio for land-based mobile mapping is available in six models. The new systems are smaller, lighter, and are designed for a wider range of users and project types. They incorporate the Applanix IN-Fusion+ multi-sensor aided inertial engine, which is designed to maintain performance in challenging environments. The systems are well-suited for projects utilizing LiDAR sensors or cameras, as well as for fleet management and automotive applications. The units feature onboard and external inertial measurement units (IMUs) to enhance reliability and performance.
For airborne applications, the Applanix POS AVX RTX portfolio includes four variants for mapping at different flying heights. This is enabled through greater orientation accuracy. Over-the-air correction technology is designed to achieve a superior positioning, velocity, and orientation accuracy of up to 0.03 horizontal meters root mean square (RMS) and 0.06 vertical meters RMS without additional setup. The hardware includes advanced inertial measurement units (IMUs) and an FAA-certified antenna and cabling.
The POS LVX+ and POS AVX RTX will be available through the Trimble Applanix sales channels in the first quarter of 2026.
