Trimble extends pact with Qualcomm to deliver precise positioning solutions

Trimble (TRMB) announced it has extended its technology collaboration with Qualcomm (QCOM) 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 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 applications with high-accuracy positioning for advanced driver assistance systems, and cellular vehicle-to-everything 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.
