Telit Cinterion and Swift Navigation have expanded their cooperation to deliver an integrated positioning platform for IoT devices requiring sub-meter location accuracy. The joint solution combines Telit Cinterion’s dual-frequency GNSS modules and cellular connectivity with Swift Navigation’s Skylark correction services.
The integrated offering targets applications including fleet and asset tracking, robotics, drones and e-mobility systems, where positioning precision beyond standard GNSS is required without deploying dedicated RTK infrastructure.
Integrated GNSS and Connectivity Architecture
The cooperation addresses deployment complexity associated with high-precision positioning systems. Traditionally, IoT operators must separately source GNSS hardware, cellular connectivity and correction data services while integrating multiple vendors and protocols.
Under the agreement, Telit Cinterion will supply dual-frequency L1 + L5 GNSS modules together with NExT cellular connectivity and Swift Navigation’s Skylark Dx correction service under a single commercial and technical framework.
The solution uses differential GNSS (DGNSS) corrections delivered over cellular networks using standard RTCM data streams via Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol (NTRIP). Skylark Dx is designed to operate with low bandwidth consumption and reduced power requirements, making it suitable for battery-powered IoT devices and mobile industrial equipment.
Positioning Accuracy and Upgrade Path
The integrated system provides sub-meter positioning accuracy across country-wide coverage areas without requiring customers to deploy or maintain local RTK base station infrastructure.
All Telit Cinterion dual-frequency GNSS modules support native integration with Skylark Dx correction streams. For applications requiring higher positioning precision, compatible module variants can be upgraded to use Swift Navigation’s Skylark Nx RTK service without hardware redesign or supplier replacement.
The cooperation provides a scalable positioning architecture supporting different operational requirements for bandwidth, power consumption and positional accuracy.
Industrial and IoT Applications
The joint platform is intended for industrial automation and mobile IoT applications where reliable positioning data supports operational efficiency and asset visibility.
Typical use cases include fleet monitoring, autonomous mobile robotics, unmanned aerial systems and e-mobility infrastructure. In these applications, sub-meter accuracy can improve route tracking, geofencing reliability and automated operational workflows while avoiding the complexity associated with full RTK deployments.
Regional Deployment
Skylark Dx services are currently available through Telit Cinterion solutions in Europe, North America, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Additional regional coverage is expected as Swift Navigation expands network availability.
The partnership builds on an earlier technical cooperation established in 2024 and extends integration across hardware, connectivity and positioning correction services within a unified IoT infrastructure platform.
