Telit Cinterion and Swift Navigation have announced an expanded partnership. Telit Cinterion will offer Swift Navigation’s Skylark Precise Positioning Service as part of an integrated IoT positioning solution.
This service is available with Telit Cinterion’s dual-frequency GNSS modules and NExT cellular connectivity. IoT customers gain one source for the hardware, connectivity and Skylark Dx correction data needed for sub-meter positioning.
What began in 2024 as a technical partnership has grown into a comprehensive joint offering, uniting hardware, connectivity, and corrections into a seamless solution for IoT customers.
Telit Cinterion customers can now buy modules, connectivity and corrections under one contract. For many IoT projects, this cuts vendor coordination and avoids the cost and operational complexity of building or subscribing to an RTK base-station network.
Skylark is available in three variants — Skylark Dx, Cx, and Nx RTK — to meet a broad range of requirements for accuracy, coverage, bandwidth, and power consumption.
All Telit Cinterion dual-frequency L1 + L5 GNSS modules offer native support for Skylark Dx, which streams differential GNSS (DGNSS) corrections directly to the receiver over the cellular network. Skylark Dx runs over standard RTCM via Internet Protocol (NTRIP), using minimal bandwidth and power, and provides country-wide coverage. This makes it practical for IoT devices with limited bandwidth or tight power budgets.
Typical applications include:
- e-mobility
- fleet and asset tracking
- robotics
- drones
These are cases that don’t require centimeter-level RTK accuracy but do need reliable sub-meter positioning. Customers requiring higher accuracy can upgrade to Skylark Nx RTK on compatible module variants without redesigning their devices or changing suppliers.
“Customers tell us they want precise positioning without complexity,” said Neset Yalcinkaya, president of IoT hardware at Telit Cinterion. “We’re bundling Skylark Dx with the GNSS modules and cellular connectivity we already ship. This gives customers one supplier and a single integration approach, plus a clear path to RTK down the road.”
“At Swift Navigation, our mission is to make precise positioning a standard capability,” said Holger Ippach, chief operating officer at Swift Navigation. “This partnership advances that vision by embedding Skylark into Telit Cinterion’s GNSS modules and connectivity, giving customers direct access to reliable, sub-meter positioning without the integration overhead traditionally required.”
Service Availability
Skylark Dx is available now with Telit Cinterion solutions in Europe, North America, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Coverage will expand as Swift Navigation adds regions.
