Unmatched and affordable high-precision solution in the region.
AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Nordian, an Austin, TX technology company providing advanced GNSS hardware solutions and services for the South American market, and u-blox (SIX:UBXN), a global provider of leading positioning and wireless communication technology and services, announced today the expanded coverage of the PointPerfect Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) correction service to Brazil, a promising market for high-precision GNSS applications.
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.
“Nordian boasts unparalleled experience in delivering and supporting advanced, centimeter-level GNSS correction services across South America,” states Carlos Agusti, Sales Director at Nordian. “Our collaboration with u-blox further accelerates our commitment to pushing the limits of precise positioning technology in South America.” Nordian CEO Michael Schramm adds, “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.”
“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.
