High-level
accuracy designed to enhance safety and improve performance for
ADAS and C-V2X applications
WESTMINSTER, Colo., Jan. 6, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- TrimbleⓇ (Nasdaq: TRMB)
announced today it has extended its technology collaboration with
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. to deliver precise positioning
solutions for automated vehicles ranging from automobiles to heavy
trucking. Trimble's precise positioning engine, Trimble
ProPointⓇ Go™, will be integrated with the
SnapdragonⓇ Auto 5G Modem-RF Gen 2, a key platform of
the Snapdragon Digital Chassis™ solution, to provide positioning
accuracy within 10 centimeters. Vehicles with the joint solution
are expected to be on the roads by 2028.
This new integration is capable of supporting Level 2+ and
potentially higher levels of automated driving (AD) applications
with high-accuracy positioning for advanced driver assistance
systems (ADAS), and cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) for
automakers and Tier-1 suppliers. With the Snapdragon Auto 5G
Modem-RF Gen 2, customers can extend into Level 3 autonomous
driving applications, and C-V2X solutions, with the same
chipset.
"Continued success between Qualcomm Technologies and Trimble is
a testament to our joint innovation and delivery of solutions that
help make higher levels of ADAS and C-V2X a reality for the
automotive and telecom industries," said Olivier Casabianca, vice president, positioning
services at Trimble. "Together we are ensuring the highest
standards of accuracy and are empowering our end customers to
operate with confidence. While fully automated vehicles and
trucking are still in the development stages, we are making great
strides in providing technology to meet the requirements of greater
levels of autonomy."
The ProPoint Go positioning engine is designed to provide
position and orientation data from the fusion of GNSS signals,
including globally accessible high-accuracy Trimble correction
services and measurement data from a variety of sensors. ProPoint
Go provides precise and reliable centimeter-level position,
velocity and time information based on multi-frequency GNSS signals
and ASIL-C certified Trimble RTXⓇ correction data.
This positioning ecosystem helps companies advance their automated
driving capabilities with safety at the forefront.
The Snapdragon Auto 5G Modem-RF Gen 2 automotive connectivity
platform features integrated C-V2X direct communications,
non-terrestrial networks (NTN), high-precision multi-frequency
global navigation satellite system (HP-GNSS) and RF Front-End
(RFFE) functionalities to support major operators across key
spectrum bands globally.
"We are committed to delivering driver assistance technologies
with a focus on achieving automated driving and creating a
system that accurately responds to its surroundings," said
Jeff Arnold, vice president, product
management at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "Our continued
collaboration with Trimble allows us to add more reliable and
accurate positioning to our technology stack that enhances our
commitment to maintaining the highest levels of safety and system
reliability."
