The R980 is Trimble’s flagship GNSS, incorporating the latest technologies for peak on-site productivity and connectivity. Modern features like IMU tilt compensation generate significant time savings and help avoid crucial calibration errors. Workflows are primarily improved by removing the need for precise pole levelling, which is often a tedious task.
Surveying uses for the Trimble R980
With the R980, you’ll have full confidence in completing land surveys, being able to adapt to practically any site conditions. It demonstrates proven GNSS performance for both regular and specialised surveying activities.
Construction and Civil Engineering
If you’re consistently working in remote and hard-to-navigate areas, the Trimble R980 can be an efficient solution. Construction sites often require large amounts of RTX corrections due to uneven ground, which the R980 can handle with ease. Where even minor GNSS errors can result in costly project delays, the R980 ensures reliability.
Superior Connectivity
The R980 can operate on 450MHz or 900MHz frequencies and receives corrections through its worldwide LTE modem. Where previous models used a 3G modem for RTK corrections, the LTE modem protects equipment from disruption as 3G and 2G networks are phased out.
Strong connectivity is essential to support workflows, especially in remote areas. The R980 also supports the Trimble Internet Base Station Service (IBSS) to further streamline operations.

What cellular modem is in the Trimble R980?
Trimble R980 GNSS receivers have a global 4G LTE cellular modem. This is because 4G networks across the globe are more common and more expansive than any other network type. They also provide more than adequate data transfer for GNSS users who are utilizing VRS or IBSS (Internet Base Station Service) survey types.
Does the R980 come with IonoGuard?
Yes, Trimble IonoGuard™ is included in the price of the R980.
Does the R980 come with a one-year Trimble RTX® corrections service subscription?
Yes, the R980 comes with a 12-month Trimble CenterPoint® RTX correction service subscription as standard, which is activated at purchase.
Do I need the most up-to-date version of Trimble Access to operate the R980?
No, the R980 supports all Trimble Access™ field software versions from 2024.00 or later.
