Trimble APX RTX

Direct georeferencing solution for UAV mapping sensors

Socials
Trimble APX RTX

The Trimble APX RTX is a compact single-board direct georeferencing solution designed to allow drone OEMs and payload integrators to achieve centimeter-level accurate mapping faster and more effectively. Able to receive real-time CenterPoint RTX correction services via satellite or cellular, it does away with the need for base stations or ground control points, and utilizes cutting-edge MEMS inertial sensors for precise roll, pitch, and heading measurements.

The board provides a dedicated connector that allows you to easily integrate an external IMU for gimbal mount support or high-accuracy orientation measurement.

The APX RTX includes a Centerpoint RTX Complete subscription for real-time and post-mission centimeter-level accurate positioning, providing automatic processing without any additional licenses required. It is available in four different models to suit a range of applications:

  • APX-15 RTX: Entry-level model with onboard IMU-103 for low-altitude and line of sight flights
  • APX-20 RTX: with onboard IMU-104, ideal for higher-altitude flights and low-noise mapping sensors
  • APX-30 RTX: with onboard IMU-104 and external IMU-93 for improved orientation performance on higher-altitude and longer BVLOS flights
  • APX-50 RTX: with onboard IMU-104 coupled with external IMU-95, allowing UAVs to replace traditional crewed flights at high altitudes over long distances
