Cloud-based accurate location information correction service – Attracted $50 million investment

Swift Navigation offers hardware and software that makes GPS positioning technology available for autonomous vehicle and device guidance.

Swift Navigation-Seamless, Precise Positioning Correction Service

Use the GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System)1 reference station to create a real-time model of errors affecting the GNSS signal and then transfer the generated correction data to the instrument to correct the position.

Possible to provide road lane-level position with an accuracy of 10 cm, so it can be used for micro-mobility that requires accurate location information in addition to self-driving vehicles.

Swift Navigation

Swift Navigation, Inc. was founded in 2012 to make GPS positioning technology more accurate and affordable. Today Swift Navigation has gained a reputation for defining a new category of GNSS systems as the industry’s first low-cost, high accuracy real-time kinematics (RTK) receiver. Its GPS and GNSS positioning products are available at a fraction of the price of the competition and deliver 100 times better accuracy than the GPS in a cell phone. Swift Navigation’s technology benefits a multitude of industries and applications—including autonomous vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), precision agriculture, robotics, surveying and space.
