Revolutionizing Positioning solutions: Hexagon and Dayou Join Forces
Hexagon’s Autonomy & Positioning division has formed a strategic alliance with the chinese positioning firm dayou to introduce TerraStar X technology into the Chinese market. This innovative technology offers rapid and precise point positioning (PPP) corrections tailored for autonomous vehicles and robotic applications. This collaboration aims to deliver uniform positioning solutions across the globe, including North America, Europe, and China, enabling original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to implement a consistent design worldwide.
Unmatched Accuracy and Efficiency
The GNSS corrections produced by TerraStar X technology facilitate lane-level precision with convergence times of less than a minute for both consumer and automotive-grade GNSS receivers. This capability supports advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous functionalities, and other safety-critical applications. terrastar X transmits corrections using industry-standard formats that are compatible with mobile networks, ensuring efficient distribution to millions of end-user devices.Thanks to the partnership with Dayou, OEMs can now utilize this high-accuracy solution throughout China, alongside North America and Europe, while benefiting from local sales, support, and technical expertise.
Local Infrastructure enhancing Global Reach
By leveraging Dayou’s local infrastructure for ionosphere correction calculations, TerraStar X technology guarantees rapid convergence to lane-level and sub-meter accuracy whenever required.Engineering progress test sites are available globally to support extensive programs that demand functional safety compliance.
Expert Insights on the Partnership
Sara Masterson, the director of positioning services at Hexagon’s Autonomy & Positioning division, remarked, “This collaboration enables international companies to harness TerraStar X technology for consistent lane-level positioning across the globe. Its hardware-agnostic design and industry-standard format for correction delivery pave the way for precise positioning across a wide array of new mass-market applications, allowing customers to utilize a single software positioning solution across all platforms worldwide.”
Dr. Han jianxin, CEO of Dayou, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “Dayou is thrilled to collaborate with Hexagon in China to launch this advanced positioning technology. Previously, high-accuracy positioning was confined to costly equipment and specialized markets such as surveying and mapping. With TerraStar X technology, accurate positioning becomes accessible to everyone, unlocking new possibilities for applications ranging from autonomous driving and freight logistics to everyday smartphone users navigating from one location to another.”
