Trimble recently introduced a new series of GNSS devices for GIS field applications—the Trimble Juno 3B and 3D handhelds. The rugged, integrated GNSS handhelds are designed for everyday field work such as asset management, data collection and inspections.
The Trimble Juno series provides integrated positioning, imaging and communications. The Juno 3B has an integrated GPS, a 5 MP autofocus camera and Windows Mobile software. The Juno 3D includes all of the features of the Juno 3B plus 3G wireless technology, which allows users to transfer data faster and stay connected to the office with an integrated mobile phone.
The Trimble Juno series are lightweight, high-performance handhelds for industry-specific applications such as Trimble Field Inspector software used in gas, electric and water utilities, and Trimble Municipal Reporter software which is used for incident reporting in government agencies.
For non-specialised tasks, Trimble TerraSync software and the Trimble Juno give access to GIS workflows in the field, enabling deployment of distributed workforces for maintenance of GIS data.
The pocket-size package is resistant to dust, water and shock, and comes with an IP54 rating. It has an improved sunlight-optimized screen that maintains exceptional clarity in outdoor conditions, including direct sunlight.
Field workers can collect GPS data, capture and link photos to features, and send and receive data from the field using a single device. A long-life battery allows all-day use, typically 10+ hours using the high-sensitivity GPS receiver, and increased memory and a powerful processor helps with large GIS applications.
The new Trimble Juno 3B and 3D handhelds are expected to be available in the first quarter of 2012 from Trimble’s worldwide Mapping & GIS authorized distribution channel. For more information, visit: www.trimble.com/juno.
