Swift Navigation

Swift Navigation is a global technology company that supplies high-accuracy satellite positioning, delivering centimeter-level precision from GNSS (global navigation satellite systems) where conventional systems offer only several metres. Its purpose is to make reliable, affordable precision positioning available at scale, in order to enable autonomy and automation across a range of industries. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California, and operates worldwide.

Central to its offering is Skylark, a 24/7 GNSS corrections service designed to enable safe centimeter-level navigation. The service combines a global network of GNSS stations with a redundant data centre architecture and monitoring algorithms, and is sold with a 99.9% guaranteed availability. The company also works in GNSS corrections, precision navigation and redundant systems engineering, alongside monitoring and reliability engineering.

Swift Navigation serves more than 20 automotive OEMs and suppliers, and its technology has been awarded to ADAS-enabled and autonomous vehicle programmes covering more than 10m vehicles worldwide. Its positioning technology is applied beyond automotive to mobile devices and handsets, last-mile delivery, commercial transport, rail, robotics and machine control. The company describes itself as a market leader in automotive precision GNSS, with an emphasis on reliability and affordability.
