New solution eliminates positioning errors in logistics, rail, and public safety by providing lane-level accuracy natively on rugged mobile devices.
Swift Navigation, a global leader in precise positioning technology, and RugGear, a manufacturer of rugged mobile devices for professional use, have joined to embed high-accuracy positioning capabilities into RugGear’s enterprise and mission-critical mobile devices.
The partnership integrates Swift Navigation’s Skylark Precise Positioning Service directly into RugGear devices built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen Platform. This native integration delivers reliable lane-level accuracy — an order of magnitude improvement over standard GPS — without requiring any external receiver or configuration. Precise positioning is available out of the box, ensuring seamless performance across rugged mobile form factors.
This integration is a major step in bringing high-accuracy positioning to industrial mobility. All location-based applications benefit automatically, meaning developers do not need to modify their existing apps.
Enhanced Capabilities with the RG940
The first device to integrate Skylark will be the RG940, a high-performance, rugged 10.1-inch tablet designed for demanding industrial uses. The high accuracy improves operational efficiency and accountability across enterprise segments, including:
- Logistics and Waste Management. Optimizes routes, reduces fuel costs, and provides indisputable proof of service records for liability claims.
- Construction. Provides a value-engineered approach for GIS mapping assets and enhances worker safety through geofenced “no-go” zones.
- Rail. Enhances safety and efficiency for trains and prevents freight car loading errors.
Interested customers and partners are invited to contact RugGear directly for availability and technical specifications.
