Centimeter-Level Accurate Positioning

For self-driving cars, machines, robots and drones to operate autonomously while keeping passengers – and other road users – safe, precise positioning is required. Navigation with accuracy of 3 – 15 meters, as found in typical GPS systems, does not meet high-precision requirements. Precise Positioning from Deutsche Telekom, and Silicon Valley based Swift Navigation, delivers cloud-based GNSS corrections from Swiftnav’s Skylark Precise Positioning Service with an accuracy of up to four centimeters. The solution is scalable for an unlimited number of autonomous vehicles, machines, drones and mobile decives. Skylark Precise Positioning delivers seamless corrections to continents across the globe including the United States, Europe, South Korea, Japan and Australia.
