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.

Resources provided

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:

Lane-Level Accurate Positioning
SSR Format Corrections Support
Industry Standard mPCIe Format
Supports GPS, Galileo and BeiDou L1/L5
Integrated IMU
Digital Wheel Tick / Reverse and CAN Inputs
12 V Power Support
Ethernet, Wi-Fi AP, Wi-Fi Client, RS232 Serial Port, USB

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.
