High Accuracy
10 cm accuracy delivers the performance autonomous vehicles require, enabling ADAS, V2X and Autonomous Driving use cases that require lane-level positioning.*
-
Fast Convergence
Skylark reduces initialization times to seconds, ensuring high-accuracy—and high-integrity—positioning is available when you need it.
-
Enterprise Grade
Skylark is designed for large scale deployments in mass market applications. It supports state-of-the-art security and enterprise management features so you can integrate tightly with your existing infrastructure.
-
Seamless Coverage
Skylark provides seamless coverage across continents. Skylark’s patented approach processes positioning observations in the cloud and eliminates dependencies on baseline length and negates concerns about base station switching.
-
Secure
Skylark is a scalable, secure and highly available cloud service delivering a continuous stream of real-time corrections. Skylark supports State Space Representation (SSR) formats for broadcast to millions of devices. NTRIP and RTCM are also supported for compatibility with existing equipment.
-
Integrity
Skylark is designed for the most demanding safety-of-life critical applications. When used with Swift’s Starling positioning engine, Skylark is capable of delivering Protection Levels (PL) down to
1 m and Target Integrity Risk (TIR) down to 10-7 / hour. Skylark supports automotive functional safety standard ISO 26262 (ASIL B).
