Swift – 100x more accurate than traditional GNSS
Drones require precise navigation – especially those that perform critical functions. Swift navigation solutions use real-time kinematics (RTK) technology, a location method that is 100 times more accurate than traditional GNSS such as GPS. Swift Navigation is the manufacturer of the Piksi Multi GNSS receiver. Its dual-frequency operation offers fast RTK convergence and reliable, centimeter-accurate results at an affordable price.
Swift uses satellite constellations to determine your position with centimeter accuracy. Multiple signal bands enable fast convergence times and multiple satellite constellations increase availability. Piksi supports GPS L1 / L2 and is hardware-capable for GLONASS G1 / G2, BeiDou B1 / B2, Galileo E1 / E5b, QZSS L1 / L2 and SBAS.
