The partnership between Dayou and Hexagon ensures that users will have a single, consistent correction service regardless of where they are based or whether they supply or source from Chinese companies.
“Dayou has the necessary first-class innovative resources and expertise in navigation and positioning to integrate this PPP-RTK technology with any customer platform,” said Dr. Han Jianxin, president of Dayou. “We’re excited to see the results from the companies using this new technology to accelerate their autonomous driving programs both domestically and internationally.”
Hexagon and Dayou say they “will offer access to test beds in North America, Europe and China while building towards compatible, full production TerraStar-X Enterprise services that enable integrated, lane-level positioning solutions in these regions for domestic and foreign automotive companies.” They will also continue to offer similar test bed services in North America and Europe.
