New Trimble PDA/GPS Handheld

Trimble Introduces the Juno ST Handheld
Trimble today announced the newest addition to its Mapping & Geographic Information System (GIS) product line—the Juno™ ST handheld. A PDA with a built-in GPS receiver, the Juno ST handheld is a low-cost, portable data collection solution that is fully compatible with the entire range of Trimble® Mapping & GIS software. It comes standard with Microsoft® Windows Mobile®version 5.0 software and has WLAN/Bluetooth® for wireless connectivity to office networks, cameras, and mobile phones. The Juno ST handheld also supports TrimPix software that allows you to take photos with a high resolution camera and send them wirelessly to your Juno ST handheld to be added as attributes to features in your GIS.
Weighing in at just 133 g (0.3 lb) and measuring 10.9 cm x 6.0 cm x 1.9 cm (4.3 in x 2.4 in x 0.7 in), the Juno ST handheld is lightweight and compact, and its small form factor make it portable and convenient to use.
And, the Juno ST handheld’s lower price point facilitates mass deployment, allowing a company or organization to equip a greater number of its employees. It is especially practical for use in applications where accuracy may be less important and high productivity is essential. Examples include natural resources organizations and utility companies, and government agencies doing inspections and permitting.
Delivering 2 to 5 meter positioning, real-time or postprocessed, the Juno ST handheld incorporates a high-sensitivity GPS receiver that has been specially designed to maximize yield of positions in hostile environments, such as under forest canopy and up against buildings. For use in a vehicle, an external antenna can be added.
Purpose-built for streamlined data collection, the Juno ST handheld has a 300 MHz processor and 128 MB non-volatile Flash data storage. It also has a Secure Digital (SD) card slot for additional data storage. The removable Li-Ion battery is rechargeable and lasts for up to eight hours.
