TrimbleⓇ announced it has extended its technology collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. to deliver precise positioning solutions for automated vehicles ranging from automobiles to heavy trucking. Trimble's precise positioning engine, Trimble ProPointⓇ Go™, will be integrated with the SnapdragonⓇ Auto 5G Modem-RF Gen 2, a key platform of the Snapdragon Digital Chassis™ solution, to provide positioning accuracy within 10 centimeters. Vehicles with the joint solution are expected to be on the roads by 2028. 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

Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA 6 January 2025—Members of the Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group (AD PAG) will sponsor a webinar and panel discussion on the creation of a unified language for querying data, which will take place at 11:00 a.m. EST on Tuesday, 28 January 2025. Airbus has been advancing a project to create a unified language for data querying for several years. This language aims to enhance the value of data by offering practical solutions to clarify, federate, and query it with minimal cost and effort, even at scale. The language is built on proven international standards, such as ISO/IEC 81346, developed initially for construction projects. With the support of this standard's authors, Airbus has developed extensions for other domains (manufacturing, processes, aircraft, and properties). These extensions are being proposed to ISO/IEC individually for formal introduction as new parts of ISO/IEC 81346. As we all know, a language only becomes
