The Trimble® MB-TWO High Perfomance RTK, Heading and RTX OEM Module
The manufacturer has issued and end of life (EOL) notice for this product. For replacement options, please contact us.
The Trimble MB-Two is the successor to the Trimble MB-One OEM receiver module. The MB-Two maintains the identical form-factor as its predecessor and offers customers a drop-in replacement to utilize the latest GNSS design innovations.
The MB-Two is versatile, powerful, compact and smart. The Trimble MB-Two provides faster dual frequency based heading acquisition and an improved positioning engine with additional GNSS signals. In addition, two MB-Two modules may be used for precise platform position (P3) using data from three antennas for full GNSS attitude.
The MB-Two allows a wide range of option-upgradable GNSS configurations from single frequency (GPS, SBAS) to dual frequency GNSS (GPS, QZSS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo). Ashtech’s patented Z-Blade technology drives a powerful GNSS agnostic engine allowing the MB-Two to use any GNSS system for positioning, without any dependency on GPS. The GNSS engine utilizes over-the-air satellite corrections via embedded L-Band hardware to achieve centimeter/decimeter level accuracy with Trimble RTX corrections.
With worldwide availability of RTX corrections, the MB-Two delivers centimeter-level positioning without a dedicated base station.

POWERFUL RTK ENGINE
The MB-Two has a powerful RTK engine that delivers centimeter-level accuracy for systems using corrections from a local base or an RTK network. It also features RTK against a moving base for relative positioning.
The network RTK capabilities include third-party network corrections such as VRS, FKP, and MAC. When two or more alternative RTK correcting data are available, MB-Two runs the Ashtech Hot Standby RTK algorithm allowing it to use them simultaneously in the positioning process.
