By integrating the power of Trimble RTX Fast, a cutting-edge GNSS correction service, with KT’s robust telecom infrastructure, this collaboration is poised to transform how automotive OEMs and IoT companies deploy and scale advanced positioning solutions in real-world applications.Trimble RTX is a powerful GNSS correction technology. Unlike traditional GPS, which provides meter-level accuracy, RTX Fast enables real-time centimeter-level positioning, enhancing safety, automation and performance in mission-critical applications. Built for connected, autonomous and smart systems, RTX Fast offers real-time delivery via IP/cellular and satellite, a global footprint with more than 7 million square miles (18 million square kilometers) of coverage, and ASIL certification, making it compliant with automotive-grade standards.The service is perfect for automotive OEMs developing ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) applications that rely on ultra-precise location data for safe and effective operation. OEMs can now test, validate and deploy their autonomous and assisted driving systems with ASIL-certified accuracy and reliability. Through this collaboration, IoT solution providers are expected to achieve seamless integration with existing infrastructure, access a consistent nationwide positioning platform and benefit from reduced time-to-market along with faster development cycles.KT Corporation Price and Consensus KT Corporation price-consensus-chart | KT Corporation QuoteKT has the best telecom network in South Korea, with strong wired and wireless systems spread across the country’s diverse regions.
