u-blox and Nordian have expanded coverage of the PointPerfect Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) correction service to Brazil, a promising market for high-precision GNSS applications.
u-blox is a global provider of leading positioning and wireless communication technology and services, and Nordian is a US precision location technology company providing advanced GNSS hardware solutions and services for the South American market.
The collaboration between u-blox and Nordian will facilitate precise positioning for a diverse range of applications, in particular high-precision agriculture, but also service robots, machinery automation, micro-mobility, and emerging automotive applications such as lane-accurate navigation and telematics.
PointPerfect delivers centimeter-level accuracy, achieving convergence in seconds with a 99.9% uptime reliability. The broadcast ensures uniform coverage on a continental scale.
PointPerfect’s recently announced Localized Distribution feature, which uses 90% less data than typical network RTK (Real Time Kinematic) services, significantly reduces user data costs. The combination of a low-bandwidth data stream and flexible service plans provides better value for businesses today and easy scalability for future needs.
Carlos Agusti, Sales Director at Nordian, said; “Nordian boasts unparalleled experience in delivering and supporting advanced, centimeter-level GNSS correction services across South America. Our collaboration with u-blox further accelerates our commitment to pushing the limits of precise positioning technology in South America.”
Nordian CEO Michael Schramm added; “Integrating u-blox’s PointPerfect service with Nordian’s extensive GNSS reference network and regional expertise provides our customers a level of reliability, quality, and affordability unmatched by any other provider in the region.”
Ari Kuukka, Principal Product Owner, Product Center Services at u-blox, explained; “Entering the Brazilian market together with Nordian marks a pivotal expansion into South America and represents another step in our strategy to globalize the PointPerfect service.
“PointPerfect is the ideal solution to address the need for high-precision GNSS technology in applications such as autonomous farming.”
