Trimble and KT have announced that it plans to deliver precise positioning services across South Korea using the Trimble RTX Fast network. Together, the companies will provide bundled telecom, correction and precise positioning services to automotive OEMs and IoT companies throughout South Korea.
Trimble’s real-time GNSS correction services are purpose-built for the connected future with expansive global coverage via IP/cellular and satellite delivery. Trimble RTX Fast delivers real-time centimetre-level positioning to enhance safety, unlock greater performance, automate workflows and enable increased productivity.
“We are committed to growing and expanding our technology coverage to enable a more connected world of the future,” said Olivier Casabianca, Vice President, Advanced Positioning, Trimble. “With an existing footprint in North America and Europe, we are building on our strategy to extend RTX Fast to other regions around the world.”
With more than seven million square miles (18 million square kilometres) of Trimble RTX Fast network coverage around the world, automotive manufacturers and IoT companies can harness a consistent positioning technology platform well suited for enabling a broad range of applications.
OEMs can now easily test and develop their advanced driving applications from prototype to production, leveraging these ASIL-certified positioning solutions. In collaboration with KT, Trimble will provide a unified positioning and correction services solution tailored explicitly for vehicles equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) or vehicle-to-everything (V2X) capabilities. This facilitates enhanced connectivity, driving greater effectiveness across a variety of applications, including IoT deployments such as smart city infrastructure, advanced field robotics and software-defined vehicles.
“With KT’s broad coverage of wired and wireless network infrastructure evenly distributed across Korea (urban, rural, mountainous and island), and immediate access to the Trimble RTX Fast network, companies will be able to easily use, test and validate their automotive and IoT systems in South Korea” said Wontae Kim, Head of Strategic Customer Business Division, KT. “Not only will this accelerate the development and deployment cycle, but it also ensures accuracy and access to positioning data they can trust.”
Key advantages of the Trimble and KT Corporation combined solution of bundled services will include:
- Seamless integration with existing IoT infrastructure
- Ability to purchase correction services and connectivity simultaneously
- Access to local expertise and support
