PRESS RELEASE – Swift Navigation, the leader in centimeter-accurate positioning for vehicle autonomy, robotics, and precision logistics, and Taiwan Mobile, one of Taiwan’s leading telecommunications companies, announced their partnership to bring SkylarkTM Precise Positioning Service to the Taiwanese market. This collaboration addresses the growing demand for high-accuracy positioning across industries.
Skylark is a real-time GNSS correction service that delivers centimeter-level accuracy by correcting errors in signals from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as GPS. It is the first and only cloud-based precise positioning service purpose-built to unlock mass market applications. Skylark is uniquely architected to ensure accuracy, reliability, and safety at global scale. Leveraging Swift’s advanced atmospheric modeling, Skylark mitigates errors caused by ionospheric disturbances, clock drift, and orbital inaccuracies—improving positioning precision from several meters to just a few centimeters.
Deployed on a carrier-grade network of state-of-the-art ground reference stations—designed and operated in partnership with Taiwan Mobile and other MNOs around the world—Skylark delivers highly reliable, precise positioning to the Taiwanese market, powering next-generation applications, including:
- Automotive: The first and only ASIL-certified, real-time cloud-based positioning service (ISO 26262:2018), Skylark enables safe and precise operation of ADAS-enabled and autonomous vehicles everywhere—always.
- Robotics: Swift’s proprietary atmospheric modeling delivers centimeter-level accuracy with extended baselines and automatic failover, ensuring that robotic lawnmowers and surveying drones work as intended right out of the box.
- Fleet Management: Skylark offers a cost-effective reliable positioning solution to optimize the last mile and final inch. Skylark is optimized for battery-powered devices and integrates seamlessly with a wide range of compatible GNSS components.
“The expansion made possible through our partnership with Taiwan Mobile marks an exciting milestone in our mission to bring high-integrity, precise positioning to the world,” said Holger Ippach, Executive Vice President of Product & Marketing at Swift Navigation. “Taiwan is a leader in technology and innovation, making it a perfect market for Skylark’s cloud-based correction service, helping shape the future of mobility and automation in Asia and beyond.”
