SAN FRANCISCO – Swift Navigation, a leader in precise GNSS technology, and Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global IoT solutions provider, have joined forces to enable centimeter accurate positioning across diverse industries. The collaboration integrates Swift’s Skylark® Precise Positioning Service with Quectel’s suite of high-precision GNSS modules to enable accurate, reliable precision across a remarkably broad range of use cases.
Skylark, a cloud-based GNSS corrections service, improves standard GNSS accuracy from several meters to just a few centimeters. It uses advanced atmospheric modeling and a carrier-grade network to offer reliable, scalable, and high-integrity precision at a highly competitive price point.
Already awarded programs to enable precise location in more than 10 million ADAS-enabled and autonomous vehicles worldwide, Skylark is now available in three variants – Skylark Cx, Skylark Nx RTK, and Skylark Dx – each designed to meet specific industry requirements. Paired with Quectel’s portfolio of modules, it unlocks a wide variety of industry applications.
Targeted Applications and Benefits
Integration Highlights
Quectel’s LG290P and LC29H GNSS module series exemplify the power of this partnership. The LG290P is the industry’s first quad-band GNSS module, designed to deliver high performance for the most demanding applications, ensuring exceptional RTK availability and quality even in challenging environments. When paired with Skylark Nx RTK, the LG290P achieves the instantaneous centimeter-level accuracy needed to ensure the precision required for applications such as precision agriculture, robotic lawn mowers, surveying, and personal robots.
The LC29H module is a dual-band multi-constellation solution with optional dead-reckoning capabilities that supports seamless integration with all Skylark variants and comes in a standard 12.2mm × 16.0mm footprint. Developers can effortlessly transition from standard positioning to high-precision GNSS without hardware changes, while choosing the Skylark variant that meets their specific requirement for accuracy, coverage, power consumption, and cost.
