Swift Navigation and Asensing have announced full compatibility between the Asensing NAV3120 high-precision GNSS positioning module and Swift’s Skylark Precise Positioning Service. Skylark is a cloud-based service that improves the accuracy of GNSS from several meters to a few centimeters.
The widespread deployment of connected and autonomous IoT systems — including smart delivery robots, UAVs, precision agriculture and logistics — demands reliable, centimeter-level positioning that performs consistently across diverse environments and at scale.
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 Western Europe. The 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.
The seamless interoperability between Skylark Nx RTK and Asensing’s NAV3120 module provides customers with a highly reliable, centimeter-accurate solution packaged in a compact, automotive-qualified hardware module. Joint testing demonstrated this high performance, with the solution achieving a sustained 1.7 cm horizontal position error at 95% confidence during a 24-hour period, which significantly accelerates time-to-market for applications requiring the highest level of positioning integrity.
The NAV3120 is full-constellation and quad-frequency signal reception module engineered for demanding applications. Features include:
- Automotive-grade. Complies with AEC-Q100 standards for integrated circuits used in automotive applications.
- Extreme operating range. Sustains temperatures from -40°C to +105°C.
- Compact design. Small size and standard 17 x 22 x 3.1 mm footprint, weighing only 2g.
- Efficient power. Low power consumption of just 0.4W.
The integrated solution is available now for use for autonomous mobile robots, UAVs, fleet management, advanced handhelds and wearables, and precision agriculture.
