Trimble Canada Ltd.
Trimble Navigation provides unchallenged world leadership in
advanced positioning technology, including Global Positioning
System (GPS), laser and other optical technologies. For more
than 20 years, Trimble's innovative efforts to advance the
science of GPS have made its name synonymous with technological
leadership. By investing heavily in research and development
over $120 million in the last three years alone Trimble has
spearheaded the transformation of positioning technology into
commercial and consumer solutions that have changed the way we
work and live. With more than 700 issued U.S. and foreign
patents, Trimble has been at the forefront of some of the most
exciting and practical positioning technology applications of
our time. Today, Trimble technology is advancing in-car
navigation, synchronizing wireless networks, providing precision
tools for complex land development projects and improving crop
yields.
Growing in the Millennium
In July of 2000, Trimble acquired the Spectra Precision Group, a
leading provider of positioning solutions for the construction,
surveying and agricultural markets. Through the acquisition,
Trimble gained significant resources in positioning technology
complementary to GPS, including laser and other optical devices.
In November of 2000, Trimble acquired Tripod Data Systems (TDS),
a leading developer of data collection software and hardware for
the land survey, construction and Geographic Information System
(GIS) markets. Both acquisitions are part of Trimble's strategic
mission to define and transform the way position-centric
information is used.
In April of 2001, Trimble established the Mobile Solutions
Division to offer Telvisant Internet location-based services
for the mobile workplace. The new capabilities allow Trimble to
leverage its existing wireless business by offering complete end-
to-end fleet management solutions as well as address the
emerging market for location-enabled phones and mobile devices.
Today, Trimble engineers world-wide are working on cutting-edge
positioning applications that no one could even imagine just a
few years ago. With more than 500 products, Trimble continues to
lead the way in developing position-centric solutions to some of
the world's most complex problems. By integrating GPS with
wireless communication and information technology, Trimble
technology can be found in cars, airplanes, construction
equipment, farm machinery, laptop computers, personal digital
assistants (PDAs) and more. Innovative applications include
dispatching and tracking emergency vehicles, surveying and
building roads, mapping earthquake damage, recording and
synchronizing international financial transactions, and
improving the efficiency of wireless communications and paging
networks.
