Swift Navigation, CHC Navigation Partner
[ December 6, 2024 // Gary G Burrows ]Swift Navigation, a provider of positioning technologies, and CHC Navigation, a global navigation satellite systems, or GNSS, services provider, have joined forces .
The partnership intends to integrate Swift’s Skylark Precise Positioning Service with CHC Navigation’s GNSS receivers, delivering reliable and cost-effective centimeter-accurate positioning to unlock the next generation of location-based products such as autonomous vehicles, robotics and surveying equipment.
Skylark is a cloud-based GNSS service that improves the accuracy of standard GNSS, such as GPS, from several meters to a few centimeters. Skylark supports more than 10 million ADAS-enabled and autonomous vehicles globally and is highly configurable to meet a wide range of requirements for accuracy, coverage, power consumption, and cost, which can vary significantly across industries.
Shanghai-based CHC Navigation’s fully integrated GNSS receivers is renowned for performance, durability, and advanced connectivity. Combining Skylark with CHC Navigation’s receivers delivers scalable, real-time GNSS corrections, eliminating the need for costly local base stations and maximizing field productivity, the two companies said.
CHC’s CGI-220 Pro is a high-precision, automotive-grade GNSS/INS tightly coupled navigation system designed for applications requiring robust and accurate positioning, such as autonomous driving, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and intelligent transportation systems. When integrated with Skylark, the CGI-220 Pro offers centimeter-level Accuracy, seamless integration and high reliability.
“The partnership exemplifies Swift Navigation’s commitment to enabling precise positioning on a global scale and working with leading manufacturers to ensure plug-and-play integration,” said Timothy Harris, founder and CEO of San Francisco-based Swift Navigation. “From automotive autonomy to machine control and GIS, the combined capabilities of Skylark and CHC Navigation’s GNSS receivers empower users with reliable performance in demanding applications.”
The integrated solutions are now available and are supported across Skylark’s expansive coverage are
