Precise positioning is a high availability service that makes satellite navigation more accurate and reliable.Current GNSS solutions lack accuracy and security, however Deutsche Telekom and Swift Navigation’s Skylark cloud-based correction service are revolutionizing precise positioning for mass-market applications.This program invites startups and small companies to develop valuable use cases that adopt, integrate, and optimize this innovative technology to create value for their customers.
All of the teams selected for the acceleration program will receive the following:
hubraum
is Deutsche Telekom’s tech incubator that fuels innovation transfer in 5G, AI & IOT technology to create new business opportunities, bringing together startups and the leading European telecommunication technology.
Swift Navigation
Swift® provides precise positioning solutions for automotive, autonomous vehicle, mobile and mass-market applications. What began as the GNSS industry’s first low-cost, high-accuracy, real-time kinematic (RTK) receiver has evolved into a Swift® ecosystem of positioning solutions for autonomous applications. From the continental GNSS precise positioning service delivered from the cloud by Skylark™, the hardware-independent, integrated software solution that is the Starling® positioning engine, to the centimetre-level accurate Piksi® Multi and ruggedized Duro® and Duro Inertial RTK receivers, Swift Navigation is enabling a future of autonomous vehicles to navigate and understand the world.
Deutsche Telekom
Deutsche Telekom is one of the world’s leading integrated telecommunications companies, with some 242 million mobile customers, 27 million fixed-network lines, and 22 million broadband lines.
We provide fixed-network/broadband, mobile communications, Internet, and IPTV products and services for consumers, and information and communication technology (ICT) solutions for business and corporate customers.
Deutsche Telekom is present in more than 50 countries.

Application Guidelines:
The Program is directed towards small European companies and startups with experience in GNSS.
You should already have an existing product or solution or one currently in development that uses GNSS and will benefit from increased accuracy delivered through Precise Positioning.
Your use case should tackle a real-world problem and have the potential to scale commercially.
Your solution could address any of the following verticals, but we love outside-the-box thinking, so all great ideas are welcome!
Participants will receive one (1) Precision GNSS Module (PGM) Evaluation Platform—featuring Swift Navigation’s mPCIe format PGM receiver installed in an IoT compute platform—providing participants the ability to quickly utilize Swift’s precision positioning solution. EU Skylark GNSS Corrections Service providing <10cm accuracy.
Swift’s PGM delivers real-time precision navigation utilizing STMicroelectronics TeseoV chipset in a Quectel LG69T-AP module and is designed specifically for Swift’s Starling positioning engine running on a host application processor. When used with Swift’s Skylark cloud-based precise positioning service, the PGM Evaluation Platform delivers even stronger performance and accuracy levels. PGM is ideal for customers building industrial, last-mile and Internet of Things (IoT) platforms that require the ability to quickly install on a target platform and test performance in the field.
Features:
Cloud Correction Software – Swift Navigation’s Skylark is a wide area, cloud-based GNSS corrections service that delivers real-time high-precision positioning to autonomous vehicles.
Skylark delivers seamless corrections to continents across the globe, including the United States, Europe, South Korea, Japan and Australia. Built from the ground-up for autonomy at scale, Skylark enables lane-level positioning, fast convergence times and high integrity and availability required by mass-market automotive and autonomous applications.
Throughout the whole program you will receive general guidance and great support from our technical mentors. Stay tuned for more information.
