Septentrio and Point One Navigation expand partnership to Europe for industrial autonomous, robotic delivery, and agricultural autonomous developers and manufacturers now have a positioning solution that can work in Europe and the US

SAN FRANCISCO and LEUVEN, BELGIUM – June 21, 2023 – Point One Navigation, a provider of precision location as a service (PLaaS) for autonomous vehicles, and Septentrio, a leader in high-precision GNSS, have launched their precision location service across the Western Region Extended solutions. Europe.

Point One’s Polaris™ is an innovative correction network that enables high-precision GPS and computer vision-based localization, while allowing the customer to choose the performance and price point that best suits their application. Septentrio RTK receivers can be used directly with Polaris™ to provide centimetre-level accuracy in seconds. Polaris recently expanded coverage to Western Europe, further expanding the reach of the network.

Point One is the first localization service with a robust API, unlocking developers to build applications on top of the service. Septentrio and Point One are bringing this developer optimization to demanding applications including industrial autonomy, precision agriculture, logistics and distribution, robots and autonomous vehicles.

This technology is complemented by Point One’s FusionEngine software, which integrates cameras and additional sensors to achieve the desired level of accuracy even in the complete absence of satellite signals.

Aaron Nathan, CEO and co-founder, says, “We chose to work with Septentrio to power our solutions for both the improved network and our FusionEngine reference design because of the outstanding quality, robustness and anti-jamming and anti-jamming properties of their GNSS receiver technology. Spoofing is resilience.” Point one navigation. “We have worked with them extensively in the autonomous vehicle space, and their GNSS technology combined with excellent application support has been integral to our success.”

Gustavo López, Septentrio’s Market Access Manager, said: “We are very excited to expand our agnostic improvement program with Point One Navigation for autonomous and industrial applications in the EU. Their improvement services have demonstrated robustness, accuracy and reliability in the US. Has proven high availability. Their recent expansion into the EU is important for integrators seeking a transparent RTK service across both continents.

The robust, globally accurate position and orientation achieved by Point One’s FusionEngine software is the result of highly advanced algorithms that integrate camera, inertial and GNSS data more than 200 times per second. FusionEngine has the precision and resilience to inclement weather required for Level 2 applications such as highway lane keeping and V2X, while providing the robustness needed for mission-critical Level 4 and Level 5 robotaxi and full autonomy applications. What’s more, FusionEngine powered by Polaris Cloud provides convergence to centimeter accuracy in seconds, not minutes. The platform also completely eliminates the combined location/map provider lock-in typical of other solutions based on HD mapping technology, enabling vehicle OEMs to choose the best map provider for a given area. Point One’s FusionEngine software and Polaris Cloud are the ultimate combination for safe, cost-effective autonomous driving and robotics applications.

Point One’s solution is powered by Septentrio’s best-in-class GNSS receivers, including the MosaicTM compact multi-constellation GNSS receiver. The Septentrio Mosaic™, a multi-band, multi-constellation receiver with a wide range of interfaces in a single low-power surface-mount module, is designed for mass-market applications such as robotic and autonomous vehicle guidance systems. The Mosaic™ module integrates the latest GNSS and RF ASIC technology as well as the robust positioning engine from Septentrio.

All Septentrio GNSS receivers and modules feature AIM+ technology, the most advanced on-board interference mitigation commercially available. Septentrio GNSS receivers can suppress a wide variety of interferers, from simple continuous narrowband signals to the most complex wideband and pulsed jammers.
