Sprint Curiosity™ IoT Helps Smart Mobile Machines Get Smarter Using Mapbox Precision Mapping

Advanced AI, Robotics and Autonomous Vehicle Services on Sprint’s dedicated IoT network will adapt to the real world using highly accurate, detailed and constantly refreshed maps. Sprint and Mapbox are launching precision mapping technology with Curiosity™ IoT, allowing automated services that run on Sprint’s dedicated IoT network to move around the ever-changing world with pinpoint accuracy. Smart machines, from drones to autonomous delivery carts, will be able to make fast location and routing decisions using highly detailed, accurate maps that are updated as the environment changes. “Smart machine-based services need to be able to make immediate mobility decisions similar to the way a driver might react to construction, traffic or other obstacles on a street,” said Ivo Rook, senior vice president, IoT & product development at Sprint. “The launch of Mapbox’s precision mapping technology allows all intelligent machines to move at a level of precision never seen before.
