Tripod's Marketing Communications Manager

Hey everyone: I'm happy to say I've accepted an offer of the position of Marketing Communications Manager for Tripod Data Systems / Trimble. I'm really looking forward to helping the company tell the stories of its users and help its representatives tell their customers about problem solving solutions that others in their field have discovered using TDS products.

The Recon 400X and Long Range Rifle Shooting

As a precision rifle firearms instructor, as well as a relatively new resident of Colorado, I utilize my Recon 400X for two main tasks, one, using Night Force’s Ballistic Targeting Software, and two, locating areas that are safe for shooting, and also provide a diversified environment. The Night Force Ballistic Targeting software is a straight forward and simple to use program that runs on the Windows Mobile 5 & 6 operating system. It is smooth in its operations and delivers extremely accur… Continue

Win a Nomad!

Earlier this year we gave away hats and a jacket to the best post on OutdoorRugged.com. Now it is time to up the ante, the best post made between April 1 – June 30 will win a free Nomad. We are looking for the best stories from real outdoor rugged pros who use a Ranger, Recon or Nomad handheld to be more productive. Post a blog with photos or in a video of how you use our gear to do it better. The IRM Forestry videos are a samples of what we consider a good video post. But, you can surprise us!… Continue

Ranger Deployed to Afghanistan

The Pentagon is issuing TDS Ranger handhelds to troops in Afghanistan this month. These handhelds, with specialized software and hardware, will be used as mobile lie detectors in the field. Known by the acronym PCASS, Preliminary Credibility Assessment Screening System, the device uses the TDS Ranger with three wires that connect to sensors attached to the hand in order to "root out potential terrorists." The person being screened is asked a series of questions, the answers are then inputted int… Continue

Getting Gmail on your Nomad/Recon

Have you ever wanted to get your Gmail messages on your handheld? Well, Google has been kind enough to add this feature to Gmail. In order to set it up, you will need to create a new account in Messaging and select IMAP. When you enter your @gmail.com address, and check “Try to get e-mail settings automatically from the Internet”, your gmail specific settings automagically appear. Not using your Gmail on your handheld yet? Gmail has an instruction page detailing how to configure your Windows Mo… Continue

Eliminating pesky 802.11 alerts on Recon X Windows Mobile 6

Have you ever driven by a Starbucks with your Trimble 802.11-enabled outdoor rugged device and noticed that you get an alert “Select network to connect to”? This feature of our products can be a blessing and a curse. When you are looking for a network to connect to, the feature is great. However, when you only want to connect to one network, it can be a real annoyance. If you are using the recently released Recon X with Windows Mobile 6, the Wireless Access feature eliminates the frustration of… Continue

Wireless modem vastly extends Nomad communications

The Nomad Wireless Modem will provide a field to office connection not previously available in any TDS products. Before this, customers were forced to find their own means of transferring data back and forth between the office and the field. They resorted to ad-hoc systems that involved various cell phones that did or did not support the type of connection required to utilize the Internet on their data collector. Now, they have a solution available that will allow a versatile connection in the… Continue

Pygmies use Recon with GPS

On the BBC News Technology Web site, watch videos about pygmies in Cameroon who use GPS technology on the Recon to thwart illegal logging in the jungle. In another video, Jerome Lewis of University College London explains the problem, the challenge and the solution. It's a pretty amazing contrast - people who live in relative isolation in the jungle holding state-of-the-art computer technology in their hands.… Continue

Trimble Federal is taking it's show on the road...

I am packing my bags and taking our show on the road! It is the busy season for Federal trade shows and I will be racking up some mileage in the air for the next few weeks.
