China Builds Five High-Precision GPS Infrastructure Networks

Trimble (CA, USA) has announced it has supplied GPS reference stations and Trimble VRS (Virtual Reference Station) software to establish five new infrastructure networks throughout China. Located in Shanghai, Wuhan, DongGuan, Tianjin and Beijing, the multi-purpose networks will provide a geo-spatial infrastructure in each area. The networks will supply fast and accurate GPS positioning for a variety of applications including surveying, urban planning, urban and rural construction, environmental monitoring, resource and territory management, disaster prevention and relief, precision agriculture, scientific research and transportation management.

The new Trimble VRS installations follow the Shenzhen and Chengdu networks already implemented in China.
