Trimble and Qualcomm Deliver Precise Positioning Solutions for Automotive OEMs and Tier 1 Suppliers
Rhea-AI Summary
Trimble (TRMB) has expanded its collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies to develop precise positioning solutions for automated vehicles. The company's ProPoint Go positioning engine will integrate with Qualcomm's Snapdragon Auto 5G Modem-RF Gen 2 platform, providing positioning accuracy within 10 centimeters.
The integrated solution is expected to support Level 2+ and potentially higher levels of automated driving applications, with vehicles featuring this technology anticipated to hit roads by 2028. The system combines GNSS signals with Trimble correction services and sensor data to deliver precise position and orientation information. The technology is designed to enhance advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) capabilities for automakers and Tier-1 suppliers.
ProPoint Go provides ASIL-C certified correction data, while Snapdragon's platform features integrated C-V2X communications, non-terrestrial networks, and high-precision multi-frequency GNSS functionality.
Positive
- Strategic partnership with major tech company Qualcomm enhances market position in autonomous driving sector
- Technology enables expansion into Level 3 autonomous driving applications
- Expected commercialization by 2028 provides clear revenue timeline
Negative
- Long timeline to market (2028) may delay revenue generation
- Faces competition in rapidly evolving autonomous driving market

Data tracked by StockTitan Argus on the day of publication.
This new integration is capable of supporting Level 2+ and potentially higher levels of automated driving (AD) applications with high-accuracy positioning for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) for automakers and Tier-1 suppliers. With the Snapdragon Auto 5G Modem-RF Gen 2, customers can extend into Level 3 autonomous driving applications, and C-V2X solutions, with the same chipset.
"Continued success between Qualcomm Technologies and Trimble is a testament to our joint innovation and delivery of solutions that help make higher levels of ADAS and C-V2X a reality for the automotive and telecom industries," said Olivier Casabianca, vice president, positioning services at Trimble. "Together we are ensuring the highest standards of accuracy and are empowering our end customers to operate with confidence. While fully automated vehicles and trucking are still in the development stages, we are making great strides in providing technology to meet the requirements of greater levels of autonomy."
The ProPoint Go positioning engine is designed to provide position and orientation data from the fusion of GNSS signals, including globally accessible high-accuracy Trimble correction services and measurement data from a variety of sensors. ProPoint Go provides precise and reliable centimeter-level position, velocity and time information based on multi-frequency GNSS signals and ASIL-C certified Trimble RTXⓇ correction data. This positioning ecosystem helps companies advance their automated driving capabilities with safety at the forefront.
The Snapdragon Auto 5G Modem-RF Gen 2 automotive connectivity platform features integrated C-V2X direct communications, non-terrestrial networks (NTN), high-precision multi-frequency global navigation satellite system (HP-GNSS) and RF Front-End (RFFE) functionalities to support major operators across key spectrum bands globally.
"We are committed to delivering driver assistance technologies with a focus on achieving automated driving and creating a system that accurately responds to its surroundings," said Jeff Arnold, vice president, product management at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "Our continued collaboration with Trimble allows us to add more reliable and accurate positioning to our technology stack that enhances our commitment to maintaining the highest levels of safety and system reliability."
