MIKROE to bundle six months of Skylark Precise Positioning Service with its GNSS evaluation kits, making it easier than ever to get precision-enabled products to market
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Swift Navigation, a leader in precise positioning technology, and MIKROE, a global leader in embedded development tools, today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the evaluation and integration of Swift's Skylark® Precise Positioning Service. Through this collaboration developers gain seamless access to reliable centimeter-level GNSS accuracy via MIKROE's user-friendly Click Boards, equipped with GNSS modules from leading manufacturers including Quectel, Septentrio, and u-blox.
Developers purchasing Skylark-compatible MIKROE evaluation kits from amongst MIKROE's comprehensive suite of GNSS Click Boards will receive a six-month free trial of Skylark. This dramatically reduces the effort required to integrate Skylark into their solutions, enabling rapid prototyping and testing across industries.
"Our partnership with MIKROE represents a significant step forward in making precise positioning accessible to embedded developers," said Holger Ippach, Senior Vice President of Product and Marketing at Swift Navigation. "By combining Swift's Skylark service with MIKROE's user-friendly development tools, we're enabling developers to evaluate and adopt precision GNSS with ease, driving innovation while saving time and resources."
MIKROE's GNSS Click Boards provide a standardized platform for GNSS integration, compatible with a wide range of microcontroller platforms via the mikroBUS socket.
"Precision GNSS is transforming industries, and Skylark is leading the way," said Aleksandar Mitrovic, Head of Click Board Development Team at MIKROE. "We're thrilled to partner with Swift Navigation to enable faster prototyping and shorter time to market for precision-enabled products."
The six-month Skylark trial will be available with Skylark-compatible MIKROE GNSS Click Boards and evaluation kits starting today. Developers can learn more and get started at https://www.mikroe.com/blog/mikroe-swiftnav-partnership.
