Trimble introduces BD935-INS module with precision GNSS
The Trimble BD935-INS is part of the company’s GNSS OEM portfolio and augments real-time positioning with 3-D orientation. It is designed for applications that require orientation as well as RTK in a single package.
The module features triple frequency for both GPS and GLONASS constellations, as well as dual frequency for BeiDou and Galileo. It delivers RTK initialisation for 1–2cm positioning. For applications that do not require centimetre accuracy, the BD935-INS integrated GNSSInertial engine delivers GNSS and DGNSS positions in GNSS-denied environments such as urban canyons, tunnels, heavy canopy and more.

Kenya Land Survey Efforts Aided with Spectra Precision Equipment
The Kenya Department of Surveys has acquired eight Focus 30 total stations and an additional eight Epoch 50 GNSS receivers as part of an ongoing major effort to adjudicate land and prepare deeds. According to the Lands Cabinet Ministry, until recently 67 percent of Kenya had yet to be adjudicated even as the work was supposed to be completed within 20 years after it was commissioned in 1957 by the British colonial government. To rectify the problem the government of President Uhuru Kenyatta two years ago began a major new push to produce three million titles by 2017. Recently, it was announced by the Land Surveys Department that 800,000 title deeds had been prepared and are being distributed.
