Introducing the Trimble PX-1 RTX: A Game-Changer for Drone Delivery Precision

Unveiled at the AUVSI Xponential conference in Denver, Colorado, Trimble has launched the PX-1 RTX™ solution, designed to enhance positioning accuracy and heading reliability for commercial drone delivery systems.

Advanced Technology for Enhanced Performance

Utilizing trimble’s CenterPoint® RTX corrections alongside compact, high-performance GNSS-inertial technology, the PX-1 RTX™ delivers real-time positioning with centimeter-level accuracy and precise inertial-derived heading measurements.

Empowering Drone Integration Companies

This innovative solution enables drone integration firms to incorporate advanced positioning features, allowing operators to optimize the planning and execution of takeoff, navigation, and landing processes. As drone delivery services evolve, they are increasingly capable of handling more complex operations.

Improved Control in challenging Environments

The Trimble PX-1 RTX enhances operator control during critical phases such as takeoff and landing, making it suitable for operations in confined or obstructed areas. It substantially reduces the risks associated with subpar sensor performance or magnetic interference, providing essential positioning redundancy—crucial as commercial drone deliveries expand into more intricate urban and suburban landscapes.

Key Features of Trimble PX-1 RTX

• Single antenna IMU heading for precise guidance in magnetically challenging settings
• Centimeter-level positioning accuracy without the need for base stations, thanks to Trimble CenterPoint RTX corrections via satellite L-Band or NTRIP, eliminating the need for additional infrastructure
• Applanix IN-Fusion+™ multi-sensor aided inertial technology guarantees consistent performance across various environments
• Flexible subscription-based Hardware and Software-as-a-Service model reduces initial costs and eliminates separate hardware maintenance expenses
• Comprehensive integration support accelerates market entry by minimizing integration efforts

Transforming Package Delivery with Drones

“Drones are transforming the landscape of package delivery by lowering costs, reducing environmental footprints, enhancing operational efficiencies, and improving safety,” stated Joe Hutton, director of Airborne products at Trimble. “The PX-1 RTX is a robust and precise solution aimed at helping integrators meet these objectives.”
