u-blox Expands Geolocation Solutions to the US and EU
Published2022.05.17 08:09
u-blox (Korea Country Manager: Son Kwang-soo), a global leader in positioning and wireless communication technologies and services, is expanding its high-precision positioning solutions for China Geospatiale to the US and Europe.
u-blox announced on the 17th that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Geespace, a global leader in aerospace information and communication (AICT) infrastructure and application solutions, to expand each company's augmentation services for high-precision applications.
This will allow both companies to expand their respective service offerings, with a focus on the automotive sector in the US, European, and Chinese markets.
The advent of reliable, cost-effective, high-precision positioning products has improved the accuracy of GNSS solutions to within tens of centimeters, enabling a vast array of new applications not only in automotive but also in industrial and robotics sectors.
On the other hand, the fragmentation of areas where correction information services are available has been an obstacle to the global spread of high-precision solutions.
Global expansion requires global coverage and a unified pricing structure and business model designed to deliver high-precision, mass-produced solutions to global automotive and industrial customers.
Also, the technical specifications and services required are different for each. This also complicates the development of these solutions.
The purpose of this MoU between u-blox and G-Space is to enable the two companies to collaborate and provide full-stack high-precision positioning software and hardware solutions to customers in the US, Europe, and China markets.
G-Space provides automotive GNSS correction services to its parent company, Geely Group, and this MoU will allow it to expand its coverage to various brands within Geely Automotive by leveraging u-blox's PointPerfect GNSS correction services.
Through this partnership, u-blox will also be able to expand the reach of its PointPerfect service, providing comprehensive high-precision solutions to customers targeting the Chinese market and streamlining development and logistics operations.
“We are delighted to partner with u-blox, a trusted and innovative specialist with a long history in GNSS products and solutions,” said Ding Sheng, CTO of G-Space. “Through this collaboration, we aim to support the US and European automotive markets and provide highly competitive and comprehensive solutions that meet the high standards our customers and drivers expect from our products.”
“Our collaboration with G-Space provides a foundation for expanding our services and solutions offerings in the APAC region,” said Franco de Lorenzo, Senior Product Manager, Services Product Center at u-blox. “This will allow us to offer point-perfect services and high-precision solutions to customers in the US and Europe who are preparing products for China.”

SK Telecom First Applies AI-Based Network Operations at Gwanghwamun K-Pop Concert
SK Telecom announced that it applied an AI-based network operation system for the first time at a large-scale K-pop concert held in the Gwanghwamun area of Seoul on March 21st, managing communication quality throughout the event. Mobile data usage during the three hours before and after the concert reached 12.15TB, approximately doubling compared to the same time slot the previous weekend. SK Telecom monitored traffic using the AI system 'A-One' in five-minute and 50-meter units to respond to potential overload situations, while also operating temporary communication facilities and on-site personnel in parallel. This case is interpreted as confirmation of the practical applicability of AI-based autonomous network operation in an environment where demand from dense events and foreign users increases simultaneously.
