    Our company recently purchased a catalyst receiver and license with the plan was to use cell phones to connect. Is there a windows option for mobile manager? If not, what tablet specs do you recommend and is cell service a must?

    Hi Lisa

    We don't have a Windows compatible* version of Trimble Mobile Manager app at the moment so If you want to use Catalyst, you will need to work with Android or iOS 
    * One caveat here is the Trimble field data collection software Trimble Terraflex WINDOWS version (download here), does support the Catalyst DA2. This is the only combination on Windows supporting this model Catalyst receiver

    What Catalyst model do you have? The DA1 or the DA2?

    The DA1 only supports Android and has specific requirements around CPU/Core speed and RAM - you can find the details here for the DA1 model 
    The DA2 doesn't really have a minimum spec other than the Android or iOS OS version it needs to run on - you can find the details here for the DA2 model

    thank you for the information. IT was not consulted before making the purchase so I am filling in the gaps here. We have a DA2 receiver.

    We use the android active tab 3. Its affordable, good size, and rugged.

    If looking at iOS consider the ipad mini. Unless you want to have the lidar sensors then look at the pro ;)

    Tom,

    Will there a be a Windows compatible version of Trimble Mobile Manager in the near future?  We currently have an R1 and an R2 that we use the NISC's MapWise platform for our electrical system.  We are looking at possibly adding a Catalyst. 

    Thanks,

    Tim Harris

    Hi Tim,

    As Tom has said the only supported Windows workflow for the DA2 is using our TerraFlex data collection solution. We don't have a release of Trimble Mobile Manager for Windows currently scheduled.

    Regards,

    Mark.
