Making GNSS 100x More Accurate with Tom Weeks

Описание: Discover how Point One Navigation is redefining high-precision GNSS and RTK positioning for autonomous systems, robotics, and location-aware products worldwide.
In this INTERGEO Conference presentation, Tom Weekes, COO of Point One Navigation, explains how dense correction networks, multi-sensor positioning engines, and API-first integration are making centimeter-level accuracy scalable, affordable, and easy to deploy.

From drones and delivery robots to robotic mowers and industrial vehicles, modern applications demand 1–5 cm positioning that works in open sky and GNSS-challenged environments alike. Tom shows how Point One’s Polaris platform delivers end-to-end location services—combining GNSS corrections, sensor fusion, and developer-friendly APIs into a single, global solution.

Learn how Point One Navigation enables OEMs, integrators, and software platforms to:
Achieve consistent 1–3 cm positioning using dense, owned GNSS correction networks
Maintain accurate positioning through tunnels, trees, bridges, and GNSS-denied areas via sensor fusion (GNSS + IMU + wheel odometry + more)
Deploy a complete positioning engine that seamlessly switches between open-sky RTK and inertial dead reckoning
Integrate corrections, licensing, and device configuration via simple cloud APIs
Scale from pilot projects to global fleets without stitching together multiple regional correction providers

💡 Highlights:
Dense GNSS reference network with 30–40 km station spacing for robust RTK
Wholly owned infrastructure for reliability, monitoring, and rapid issue resolution
End-to-end positioning engine: corrections + multi-sensor fusion + robustness in challenging environments
API-first platform for provisioning, configuration, and fleet management at scale
Real-world use cases: drone delivery & docking, autonomous turf and golf-course mowers, last-mile delivery vehicles

If you’re building the next generation of autonomous systems or precision mapping workflows, this session shows how modern GNSS/RTK platforms like Point One’s Polaris are turning high-accuracy location into a simple, scalable cloud service.

About INTERGEO:
📌 INTERGEO EXPO and CONFERENCE is the international platform for geodesy, geoinformation, and land management. It takes place at changing locations throughout Germany. The CONFERENCE addresses current topics from politics, administration, science, and industry. With its geo-IT potential, INTERGEO continues to focus on optimizing processes in growing target markets. It was held in Frankfurt am Main in 2025. In 2026, it will be hosted in Munich, and from 2027 onwards it will be held permanently in Frankfurt am Main. The organizer of INTERGEO is DVW e.V. – Society for Geodesy, Geoinformation and Land Management.
