Swiss technology company u-blox has developed PointPerfect, a cutting-edge GNSS augmentation service that promises to revolutionize precise positioning solutions. Designed as a PPP-RTK GNSS augmentation data service, PointPerfect delivers unparalleled accuracy of 3-6 centimeters within seconds, addressing the growing demand for precise positioning in various applications, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), service robots, machinery automation, and advanced navigation.
High Accuracy and Fast Convergence
PointPerfect boasts an exceptional positioning accuracy of 3-6 centimeters¹ and impressively fast convergence, meeting the requirements of emerging technologies like autonomous machines and advanced navigation applications. With a convergence time of mere seconds, PointPerfect caters to the demands of applications such as lane-accurate navigation, telematics, and micro-mobility.
Lower Bandwidth for Reduced Data Costs
The service adopts the SPARTN data format, a transparent and open industry format that efficiently transfers GNSS correction data. Combined with the lightweight and scalable MQTT protocol, PointPerfect offers a real-time, bandwidth-optimized solution, significantly reducing user data costs. The localized distribution feature further reduces bandwidth by up to 70%, ensuring a cost-effective and efficient solution for mass-market applications.
Continental Coverage and High Reliability
PointPerfect provides uniform coverage on a continental scale, including Europe, the contiguous United States, Canada, South Korea, and Australia. Delivered via mobile internet or L-band satellite signals, the service offers >99% uptime availability, making it a reliable choice for mission-critical applications. The service covers up to 12 nautical miles off coastlines, ensuring comprehensive and consistent coverage.
Intuitive Platform and Flexible Price Plans
Delivered through an enterprise-grade cloud platform, PointPerfect offers an intuitive interface for users to manage IoT device fleets, billing, events, and API functionality. The service comes with flexible price plans, including a pay-as-you-go option, catering to various customer needs, use cases, and applications. The seamless integration of PointPerfect with u-blox F9 and D9 high-precision GNSS modules ensures a ready-to-use solution.
Zero-touch provisioning for Easy Deployment
PointPerfect simplifies the deployment process with Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), allowing devices to provision themselves automatically in the field. This eliminates the challenges of managing digital certificates and streamlines the deployment of large device fleets.
Comprehensive Product Support
PointPerfect is pre-integrated with u-blox F9 and D9 high-precision GNSS modules, ensuring a seamless experience. The service also supports non-native SPARTN receivers through the PointPerfect SDK. u-blox's extensive product lineup, including ZED-F9P, ZED-F9R, ZED-F9K, NEO-D9S, XPLR-HPG-1, and XPLR-HPG-2, further complements the PointPerfect ecosystem.
