Frequently Asked Questions

RTX stands for Real Time eXtended technology that powers Trimble RTX correction services and provides you with
real-time precise point positions

Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) solutions encompass both Real-Time Networks (RTN) and Base/Rover workflows. These are differential solutions that depend on simultaneous observations of GNSS pseudo ranges to calculate a rover position relative to the base station, which has a known coordinate to which the observed location is compared. Trimble RTX solutions provide an absolute position, utilizing real-time precise point positioning (PPP). This type of positioning is similar to a position achieved with static single-point positioning when combined with post-processing, but it is achieved in real time and allows for kinematic (moving) observations

Initialisation refers to the initial procedure when a GNSS session is initiated. During this process, the unit searches for satellites, locks onto them and begins to calculate its position. When the position of the receiver reaches the accuracy specification, then it is considered to be fully initialised. Once initialised, the receiver will maintain that level of accuracy unless initialisation is lost through extended corrections or GNSS signal disruptions.

While it is technically possible, it is not advisable. Be sure to allow time for your receiver to get fully converged before making observations. Even in areas with regional atmospheric models, you may not get a full payload of correction parameters until nearly a minute has passed, but the GNSS receiver may be able to resolve enough ambiguities to indicate a precise position–continue to observe your position until at least a minute has passed before storing data

Trimble RTX correction services utilize GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS for the global reference station network and offer corrections and integrity monitoring for these constellations as well.

Trimble xFill and xFillx are GNSS positioning modes that utilise Trimble RTX corrections to mitigate biases to continue providing a precise position, in your local datum, when the radio or cellular internet connection to the RTK base or Real-Time Network is lost. Trimble xFill is powered by Trimble RTX technology–the same technology that is used in our premium positioning service known as CenterPoint RTX correction service.

After purchasing your Trimble RTX subscription, it can be activated either over-the-air (OTA) or by entering a passcode on your GNSS receiver.

  • Over-the-air activation: This is an activation that is sent via satellite and/or the Internet directly to the receiver. Once this activation is received, the service will be ready to use.
  • Passcode activation: With passcode activation, an activation passcode is emailed to you when you purchase a Trimble RTX subscription. You can then enter this passcode into your receiver to activate your subscription, which can then be used right away.

You will receive a renewal notice about 4-6 weeks before your subscription is due to expire advising you of your expiration date and the renewal process. All subscription information is also available by logging into your account on our online store. Most receivers will show the expiration date on the display or user interface. If you are unsure on how to find this, you can contact us, and we will be able to help you.
