Since the early 1990s, RTK GNSS positioning has provided a major boost in productivity to the mining, construction and agriculture industries. Tracking GNSS satellite signals in obstructed environments limits the ability to ensure uninterrupted availability and maximize benefits. In addition, high-precision GNSS users operating in equatorial and high-latitude regions are currently experiencing position degradation due to high solar activity related to the sun's 11-year cycle, which is expected to peak in 2025. This presentation provides an overview of the Trimble ProPoint positioning engine and its latest advances to mitigate many of these challenges. Real-world examples will be discussed.
