Swift Navigation offers the Skylark Precise Positioning Service, a cloud‑hosted platform that streams real‑time RTK and PPP GNSS corrections over NTRIP to provide 1–3 cm accuracy with sub‑20 s convergence. The service is hardware‑agnostic, ASIL‑certified, and accessible via a REST API, enabling automotive OEMs, robotics, fleet and mapping customers to replace on‑site base stations with a subscription‑based, continent‑wide correction network.

Problem
Standard GNSS provides meter‑level accuracy, which is insufficient for autonomous vehicles, robotics, high‑precision mapping, and fleet logistics. Deploying local RTK base stations or stitching together disparate correction networks adds cost, complexity, and coverage gaps, limiting scalability and reliability of location‑based applications.
Solution
Swift Navigation delivers the Skylark Precise Positioning Service—a cloud‑based GNSS correction platform that transforms ordinary GNSS receivers into centimeter‑accurate sensors. By streaming real‑time RTK and PPP corrections over the internet (NTRIP), Skylark eliminates the need for on‑site base stations while providing uniform, continent‑wide coverage. The service is hardware‑agnostic, integrates via a robust API, and offers ASIL‑certified safety for automotive use cases. Multiple service tiers (Cx, Nx RTK, Dx) balance accuracy, convergence speed, and power consumption to suit devices from high‑end autonomous cars to low‑SWaP IoT trackers. Customers access the corrections through a subscription portal, enabling rapid deployment, scalable operations, and cost‑effective high‑precision positioning across diverse industries.
Target Audience
Automotive OEMs and Tier‑1 suppliers, fleet and logistics operators, robotics and drone manufacturers, construction and utility field teams, GIS mapping services, and micromobility platform providers seeking reliable, centimeter‑level positioning at scale.
