Swift Navigation and Quectel Wireless Solutions have partnered to enhance GNSS accuracy across various industries. This collaboration integrates Swift’s Skylark Precise Positioning Service with Quectel’s high-precision GNSS modules.

Skylark, a cloud-based GNSS corrections service, is designed to improve standard GNSS accuracy from several meters to a few centimeters. It utilizes advanced atmospheric modeling and a carrier-grade network to provide reliable, scalable, and high-integrity precision.

The partnership offers three Skylark variants: Skylark Cx , Skylark Nx RTK and Skylark Dx.  Each variant is tailored to meet specific industry requirements and can be paired with Quectel’s GNSS modules for various applications.

Integration and Applications

Automotive: Quectel’s LG69T module with integrated inertial measurement units combined with Skylark Cx offers lane-level accuracy for intelligent driving systems.

Outdoor Robotics: The LG290P module paired with Skylark Nx RTK offers centimeter-level accuracy for autonomous robots such as robotic lawnmowers.

Micromobility: Quectel’s LC29H module with Skylark Dx achieves decimeter-level accuracy for e-bikes and scooters in urban areas.

UAVs: The LG290P module with Skylark Nx RTK offers high accuracy for fast-moving UAV applications.

Quectel’s LG290P is a quad-band GNSS module designed to deliver high performance for demanding applications, ensuring RTK availability and quality even in challenging environments. When paired with Skylark Nx RTK, the LG290P achieves the centimeter-level accuracy needed to ensure the precision required for applications such as precision agriculture, robotic lawnmowers, surveying and personal robots.

The LC29H module is a dual-band multi-constellation solution with optional dead-reckoning capabilities that supports seamless integration with all Skylark variants and comes in a standard 12.2mm × 16.0mm footprint. Developers can transition from standard positioning to high-precision GNSS without hardware changes while choosing the Skylark variant that meets their specific requirements.
