Trimble Releases Pacific Crest XDL Rover 2

Trimble introduced the Pacific Crest XDL Rover 2, an advanced, high-speed, wireless data link built to withstand the rigors of GNSS/RTK surveying and precise positioning.

The XDL Rover 2 is equipped with Bluetooth wireless communication for easy in configuration and operation. It can be quickly configured with an Android device in the field and UHF data can be transmitted via Bluetooth to a paired host device for operational efficiency.

The XDL Rover 2 is a lightweight, ruggedized UHF receiver designed for digital radio communications between 403 and 473 MHz in either 12.5 or 25 kHz channels. It is designed for high performance over the entire band. The pocket sized product provides for cableless operations, and features an internal, rechargeable battery that enables portability for long operational hours.

“The XDL Rover 2 is an ideal, high-speed radio receiver for field operations that require a one-way communications link,” said Jess Cobb, business area director for Trimble’s Radio Communications Group. “Its interoperability with existing equipment and greater functionality allow customers to rapidly deploy the XDL Rover 2 for maximum productivity.”

This radio leverages the latest generation XDL modem technology while remaining compatible with existing Pacific Crest and other products. By installing the technology, users can instantly communicate with GNSS precise positioning receivers that share the same protocols worldwide.

The XDL Rover 2 joins the line of XDL products that includes the XDL Micro, a transceiver OEM module. The XDL Micro is a 0.5-2.0 Watt UHF transceiver designed for integration of products that require either a one- or two-way radio communication link.
