SPS585 GNSS Smart Antenna

The SPS585 GNSS smart antenna incorporates a GNSS antenna, receiver, Wi-Fi Access Point, and battery in a rugged light-weight magnetic-mounted unit that is ideally suited for vehicle and pole-mounted applications. LEDs enable you to monitor position tolerance, correction status, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth wireless technology, and power. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless technology provides cable-free communications between the receiver and the device (such as a tablet, smartphone, or laptop).

The SPS585 GNSS smart antenna can be used for a number of construction site applications including:

• Initial site measurements to verify design levels and regular subsequent measurements to determine progress volumes
• Vehicular-mounted site supervisor applications
• Measurements and grade/thickness checks on laid materials
• Digital design interrogation
• Site positioning for environmental and geotechnical services

You can use the SPS585 GNSS smart antenna as part of an RTK GNSS system with the Trimble Siteworks™, SCS900 Site Controller, and the Trimble SitePulse™ software.

The SPS585 GNSS smart antenna has no front panel controls for changing settings. To configure the receivers:

• Directly access the SPS web interface from a connected device
• Connect via Bluetooth wireless technology from a device running the Siteworks, SCS900 Site Controller, or SitePulse software
