Swift Navigation, a leader in precise positioning technology for mass-market applications, and SIMCom, a leading global IoT wireless modules and solutions supplier, announced a partnership to deliver centimeter-level GNSS accuracy to high-volume robotics applications worldwide.
The collaboration integrates Swift’s Skylark™ Precise Positioning Service with SIMCom’s high-performance SIM66MD and SIM66D GNSS modules.
This powerful combination allows manufacturers and developers using these modules to easily activate centimeter-accurate satellite positioning, dramatically improving the performance, safety, and reliability of robotic lawnmowers, delivery robots, agricultural vehicles, and other autonomous systems. SIMCom’s modules are renowned for their compact designs, low power consumption, and wide array of interfaces, making them ideal for seamless integration into diverse IoT and autonomous devices.
Swift’s Skylark Nx RTK, the highest-precision variant of Skylark, leverages a proprietary atmospheric model to deliver continuous 1-2 cm accuracy across vast geographic areas, including all of Western Europe. This carrier-grade network eliminates the need for developers to manage base stations or switch between multiple correction providers, simplifying the deployment of high-precision outdoor robots at scale.
