Trimble Adds JammerGuard to Maxwell 8 GNSS Receivers

BD1090, BD1092, BD1092i and BX1092i add multi-constellation tracking, quad-core processing, lower vibration sensitivity and LEO support.

WESTMINSTER, CO, Sep 15, 2026 – Trimble has introduced the BD1090, BD1092, BD1092i and BX1092i GNSS receiver modules for OEM systems in geospatial, marine, construction and mining applications. Built on Maxwell 8 technology, the receivers add JammerGuard anti-jamming and anti-spoofing functions, expanded satellite tracking, four times the processing power of the previous generation, improved vibration resistance and support for emerging Low Earth Orbit positioning signals.

Trimble’s earlier GNSS technologies include the ProPoint positioning engine for operation in obstructed environments, IonoGuard for ionospheric disruption and RTX-NMA for satellite signal authentication beyond Galileo. Maxwell 8 extends those functions with changes to processing, signal tracking and sensor integration.

“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,” said Ron Bisio, president, field systems at Trimble. “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.”

Maxwell 8 receivers add the following functions:

  • “All-in-view” tracking: Expanded channel capacity supports simultaneous multi-constellation and multi-frequency reception for positioning and signal availability.
  • Processing power: A quad-core CPU with DDR4 RAM provides four times the processing power of the previous generation for sensor fusion and other computations.
  • Vibration resistance: MEMS-based oscillators provide 10 times lower vibration sensitivity for operation in high-vibration environments.
  • LEO compatibility: The receivers support emerging Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations, including demonstration mission signals from Xona Pulsar.
  • Inertial measurement: An updated IMU provides orientation and stability data for positioning applications.

The receivers are designed for systems operating under higher shock and vibration and in areas with restricted satellite visibility or active GNSS interference. Increased channel capacity provides access to more satellites, while the additional processing resources handle sensor fusion and positioning calculations.

“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,” said Wim Balvert, workshop and innovation manager at Van Oord, a leading international marine contractor.
