ProStar Announces the Successful Completion of Integration With Trimble Receivers

BOULDER, Colo.-ProStar™, the developer of the patented precision mobile mapping software, PointMan®, announced today that it has successfully completed the integration with Trimble receivers. In July, Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced it had entered into a business partnership with ProStar allowing the company full access to the Trimble GPS/GNSS receivers. The partnership allowed ProStar to integrate its flagship mobile solution PointMan with Trimble’s R Series and Catalyst™ receivers.

The successful completion of the integration with Trimble receivers and the PointMan mobile solution provides the ability to capture centimeter-accurate geospatial data on a standard mobile device. The application was independently verified by members of Trimble’s vast global distribution network.

“Both Trimble’s R series and Trimble’s Catalyst system provide precision mapping quality location data to PointMan’s software, on a standard mobile device, creating a complete utility mapping solution,” said David Siddle of Frontier Precision, Trimble’s 2019 Worldwide Geospatial Dealer of the Year.

“The completion of our seamless integration with Trimble receivers means we are uniquely positioned in the market with the world leader in GPS/GNSS receivers,” said Page Tucker, President and CEO of ProStar. “I believe that collectively we now have the most comprehensive and precise field data collection solution in the industry and a global distribution network to help us sell and support it.”
