Trimble RTX GNSS technology is now available for Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Snapdragon 888 Mobile Platforms.
The integration of Trimble RTX GNSS technology, a correction services platform, with Snapdragon contributes to a higher quality, more accurate location-based user experience, according to Trimble.
Coupling the Trimble RTX technology with premium Snapdragon Mobile Platforms improves Android phones’ positioning capabilities with meter-level accuracy (or about 3 feet) when used with a Trimble RTX-based correction service.
Location information accuracy can significantly improve the smartphone’s user experience when using mapping, driving, or other mobile applications, according to Trimble. In addition, lane-level accuracy enables drivers to gain greater map detail and more accurate directions when using real-time navigation applications.
This new collaboration expands Trimble’s existing relationship with Qualcomm Technologies to provide high-accuracy positioning solutions for connected vehicles, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and autonomous driving solutions to automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
“Trimble and Qualcomm Technologies have a history of innovation in mobile location technologies, both separately and collaboratively,” said Lisa Wetherbee, general manager of Trimble Advanced Positioning, in a prepared statement. “Together, we are boosting premium Android phone functionality, helping mobile applications provide better information about the user’s immediate surroundings.”
Said Francesco Grilli, VP, product management, Qualcomm, in a statement:
“Precise positioning, where accuracies are down to a meter or less, is a necessary capability in next-gen premium Android phones, providing better mapping, more accurate navigation and new exciting services to consumers. Snapdragon is again taking location-based experiences to a new level through this collaboration with Trimble.”
