DAC Wireless Joins Surveying with Robert to Talk Trimble, Cellular Connectivity & the Future of Surveying

When you’re working in the field, the last thing you want to worry about is whether your equipment can stay connected.

Surveyors know the reality. One day, you’re working in an area with reliable cellular coverage. The next, you’re miles from the nearest town, surrounded by challenging terrain, trying to keep your GNSS equipment connected and your project moving.

It’s a challenge that deserves more attention, and it’s exactly what brought DAC Wireless, Trimble, and Surveying with Robert together for a recent podcast conversation.

This month, John Robinson of DAC Wireless joined host Robert and Aimee Shirk of Trimble to discuss cellular connectivity for surveyors, how connected technology is changing field workflows, and an exciting opportunity for eligible Trimble customers to take advantage of a FREE Cellular Data Promotion.

And with Trimble Dimensions 2026 approaching, there was plenty to talk about.

Survey Technology Is Evolving. Connectivity Has to Keep Up.

Surveying equipment has come a long way. Today’s GNSS receivers, RTK systems, and connected field solutions give crews the ability to collect precise data, access correction services, and streamline workflows in ways that weren’t possible just a few years ago.

But behind all that technology is something easy to overlook: the cellular connection helping it work.

For surveyors relying on network-delivered RTK corrections, a dependable data connection is an essential part of the workflow. When connectivity becomes unreliable, crews can experience interrupted correction streams, lost productivity, and unnecessary troubleshooting.

And anyone who has spent time on a job site knows that coverage can change dramatically from one location to another.

That’s why choosing the right cellular data solution matters.

During the episode, John and Aimee explore how cellular connectivity supports Trimble equipment and why it’s an important consideration for surveyors working across different environments.

Because great surveying technology deserves connectivity that’s ready to go to work.

One SIM. Multiple Networks. More Flexibility in the Field.

At DAC Wireless, we understand that surveyors don’t always get to choose where the work happens.

From remote rural properties to busy construction sites, field conditions can be unpredictable. And relying on a single cellular carrier isn’t always the most practical approach.

That’s where multi-carrier connectivity comes in.

DAC Wireless offers cellular data solutions designed for demanding field environments, including our DAC³+ multi-carrier SIM technology.

With access to multiple supported cellular networks, DAC³+ provides greater flexibility across locations where carrier coverage varies.

For surveying professionals, that can mean:

More coverage flexibility: Access to multiple supported networks through one SIM.
Less connectivity complexity: Simplified cellular data management across equipment and crews.
Device-specific support: Help from a team familiar with the technology surveyors use every day.
More time focused on the job: Less time dealing with avoidable connectivity challenges.

Of course, cellular connectivity isn’t one-size-fits-all. Equipment compatibility, network availability, and device configuration all play a role.

That’s why DAC Wireless focuses on more than providing SIM cards. We help customers find connectivity solutions that make sense for their equipment, their workflows, and the places they work.

FREE Cellular Data for Eligible Trimble Customers? Let’s Talk About It.

One of the highlights of the podcast is the discussion around the current FREE Cellular Data Promotion available through participating Trimble dealers.

For surveying professionals using eligible Trimble equipment, this promotion presents an opportunity to explore cellular connectivity options for their field workflows.

John and Aimee discuss the promotion and how Trimble customers can learn more through participating dealers.

Whether you’re getting new equipment connected, reviewing your existing cellular setup, or looking for ways to simplify field data communications, it’s a conversation worth hearing.

Why Cellular Connectivity Matters for Modern Surveying

For today’s surveying professionals, cellular connectivity is more than a convenience. It can be an important part of keeping equipment productive and field workflows moving.

Why do surveyors need cellular connectivity?

Cellular connectivity allows compatible GNSS and RTK surveying equipment to receive network-based correction data, supporting precise positioning and connected field workflows.

What is multi-carrier SIM technology for surveying?

Multi-carrier SIM technology allows compatible surveying devices to access multiple supported cellular networks through a single SIM, providing greater flexibility when working across different geographic areas.

Does DAC Wireless provide cellular data for Trimble equipment?

Yes. DAC Wireless provides cellular data solutions for compatible Trimble surveying equipment, helping professionals manage connectivity for GNSS, RTK, and other connected field applications.

How can Trimble customers learn about the FREE Cellular Data Promotion?

Eligible customers can contact participating Trimble dealers for information about the current promotion, including eligibility, participating equipment, and applicable terms.
