Swift Navigation Runs Its ISO 26262 Certified Skylark Precise Positioning Service on AWS
June 04 2024 - 11:05AM
Swift Navigation, a leader in precise positioning technologies for
automotive, IoT, and mobile applications, today announced its use
of Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company
(NASDAQ: AMZN), to help support running Swift’s Skylark® Precise
Positioning Service workloads. Skylark has achieved ISO 26262
certification as determined by third-party auditor, UL Solutions.
Vehicles and IoT devices around the world use Skylark to provide
reliable and accurate high precision location data.
Skylark delivers uniform, centimeter accurate vehicle
positioning through carrier-grade mobile cellular networks operated
in partnership with network operators (MNOs) around the world. Over
20 automotive OEMs and tier-1 suppliers work with Swift to support
their precise navigation, ADAS, and autonomous vehicle
programs.
As the automotive industry advances toward higher levels of
vehicle autonomy and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication,
cloud-based services will play a larger role in the industry. While
automotive in-vehicle software operates within the confines of the
vehicle’s onboard systems, Skylark, via its service on AWS, helps
support multiple customers simultaneously, and millions of vehicles
and IoT devices around the world. Skylark’s ISO 26262 certification
helps set a design pattern for the development of future
technologies for automotive applications that will be required to
help achieve the industry’s goals.
To deliver Skylark globally, Swift uses the reliability,
scalability, and security of AWS services deployed across multiple
Availability Zones (AZs) to help provide a spatially distributed
and redundant cloud infrastructure environment. To help satisfy ISO
26262’s safety integrity requirements, Skylark uses independent
service channels with diversified compute provided by Amazon EC2
Graviton (ARM) and x86-based instances.
“AWS has been an incredible partner to Swift throughout the ISO
26262 certification process,” said James Tidd, Vice President of
Systems Engineering, Swift Navigation. “AWS infrastructure provides
the reliability, security, and scalability that helps enable
Skylark to deliver high integrity precise positioning to vehicles
around the world.”
