Trimble Introduces Maxwell 8 GNSS Receivers with Enhanced Signal Protection

Trimble OEM GNSS has introduced four Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers designed to support precise positioning in marine and other signal-challenged operating environments.

The Trimble BD1090, BD1092, BD1092i and BX1092i receivers use the company’s new Maxwell 8 technology and are intended for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) integrators serving the marine, geospatial, construction and mining industries.

The receiver lineup introduces Trimble JammerGuard, which combines anti-jamming and anti-spoofing capabilities. According to Trimble, its anti-jamming protection deploys automatically and independently, while its anti-spoofing security is designed to help ensure that the reported position is genuine.

The technology is intended to strengthen positioning resilience and reduce operational downtime where interference or intentional GNSS disruption may affect operations.

Ron Bisio, President, Field Systems at Trimble, commented, “These receivers are the first in a lineup of advancements we’re taking to significantly improve operational efficiencies and reduce downtime for companies utilizing Trimble technology. In response to the growing prevalence of intentional jamming and spoofed signals, Trimble continues to lead the way in delivering resilient precise positioning solutions. With a proven track record of first-to market innovations, we stay ahead of the curve with best-in-class GNSS technology to anticipate issues and improve performance.”

The receivers build on existing Trimble technologies, including the ProPoint positioning engine, IonoGuard protection against ionospheric disruption and RTX-NMA satellite signal authentication.

The Maxwell 8 architecture incorporates a quad-core central processing unit (CPU) with DDR4 memory, providing four times the processing power of its predecessor for sensor fusion and other complex computations.

Expanded channel capacity enables simultaneous multi-constellation and multi-frequency “all-in-view” tracking. Trimble states that this supports positioning accuracy, continuous signal availability and verified data integrity.

For operations involving high levels of shock and vibration, the receivers incorporate microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based oscillators offering ten times lower vibration sensitivity. The technology also includes an upgraded inertial measurement unit (IMU) to improve orientation and stability.

The architecture has also been designed for compatibility with emerging Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations, including demonstration mission signals from Xona Pulsar.

Trimble cited an evaluation by international marine contractor Van Oord as an example of the technology’s use in marine operations affected by GNSS interference.

Wim Balvert, workshop and innovation manager at Van Oord, said, “Evaluating Trimble’s next-generation anti-jamming technology has delivered improved results for Van Oord. In our dredging, infrastructure and offshore energy operations across the Middle East and the Baltic region, I have seen a much more resilient system with clear diagnostics when GNSS jamming occurs.”

Trimble will display the new receiver module lineup at upcoming industry conferences, including ION GNSS+ 2026, booth 212 and INTERGEO 2026 in hall B6, booth D035.
