Swift Navigation & Telit Cinterion unveil ultra-low power GNSS devices
SAN FRANCISCO, March 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Swift Navigation, a company that develops technology for high-accuracy GPS positioning, making it useful for applications like autonomous vehicles and precise asset tracking, and Telit Cinterion, an IoT solutions company that provides both the hardware (GNSS receivers) and software (connectivity plans, management services) to get devices connected and tracked efficiently, unveiled their joint solution to empower ultra-low power consumption devices, such as wearables, robotic lawn mowers, and vehicle tracking devices with precise GNSS positioning. The partnership will help to unlock the next generation of location-based apps for navigation, worker safety, fleet management, asset tracking, and more.
By making it possible for devices to determine their location with centimeter accuracy. Precise positioning is already enabling autonomous passenger cars and industrial robots to operate safely. This technology has historically been challenging to integrate into applications. These applications leverage small, battery-powered devices to navigate roads more precisely and track assets more efficiently.
With the introduction of their joint solution, Telit Cinterion and Swift are tackling this challenge head on. Swift’s Skylark® Precise Positioning Service offers uniform precision across entire countries while minimizing power consumption, processing loads, and data transmissions. Together with Telit Cinterion’s suite of best-in-class GNSS receivers, it achieves this at an unbeatable price-to-performance ratio. In even the most challenging environments, such as dense urban areas and canyons. The joint solution dramatically improves location accuracy within seconds.
“We are collaborating with Swift to bring forth a solution that addresses the evolving needs of e-mobility and IoT applications,” said Marco Argenton, Vice President Product Management, IoT Modules at Telit Cinterion. “The integration of Skylark with our GNSS receivers, such as the SE868SY-D module. This ensures our customers benefit from enhanced precision without compromising on power efficiency.”
“We partnered with Telit Cinterion because they share our commitment to providing innovative solutions that unlock entirely new use cases for precise positioning across industries,” said Holger Ippach, Executive Vice President of Product at Swift Navigation. “We are excited to unveil a groundbreaking solution empowering IoT and app developers to leverage precise positioning like never before.”
Swift’s Skylark, compliant with industry standards, interoperates with numerous GNSS chipsets, modules, receivers, and applications, simplifying deployment over vertical solutions.
