KDDI Modernizes Water Infrastructure Mapping in Japan with Precise GNSS

KDDI is transforming water infrastructure mapping with Skylark Precise Positioning, enabling field crews to capture centimeter-accurate asset data using compact GNSS receivers and smartphones instead of bulky surveying gear. The result: reliable performance even in challenging environments and leak reporting workflows reduced from two hours to just two minutes—bringing high-precision positioning into everyday infrastructure operations.

Raven Connected Enables Real-Time, Centimeter-Accurate Infrastructure Management Using Skylark Precise Positioning Service

To manage aging infrastructure, municipalities and fleet operators have traditionally relied on manual inspections and expensive, specialized survey vehicles. These methods are slow, prone to human error, and often lack the lane-level precision needed to distinguish specific assets in dense urban environments. By integrating Swift Navigation’s Skylark™ Precise Positioning Service with Raven Connected’s AI video telematics platform, everyday service vehicles are transformed into high-precision mapping sensors.
