Having attended the CES conference before COVID-19 impacted global events, I thought I knew exactly what to expect. The crowds, the innovative tech, and absurdly large TVs were all a given. But there were a few surprises. Some things had changed. Here are my six big surprises from CES 2024.

Point One Navigation has been selected by the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) to provide cutting-edge Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) corrections technology for the world's fastest autonomous racing cars at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

As once inconceivable technologies like self-driving cars become a reality, Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) are becoming increasingly essential and indispensable. INS helps vehicles and devices know their position, direction, and speed without needing external signals like those from GPS. This makes them incredibly useful in places where GPS can't reach or isn't reliable. The growing […]

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) are all around us, from within our phones and cars to our aircraft and space shuttles. However, Forbes reports that GPS has significant problems, including with accuracy, that will need to be addressed for the next generation of autonomous applications. However, GPS is only one type of Global Navigation Satellite Systems […]

Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) corrections are redefining the capabilities of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) with unprecedented accuracy. A substantial advancement in precision positioning, RTK corrections are essential to a wide range of applications where even minor discrepancies in location data can have significant impacts.  Understanding RTK corrections is crucial for professionals in geospatial sciences, surveying, […]

RTK GPS, or Real-Time Kinematic Global Positioning Systems, represent a significant leap in geospatial positioning technology. Known for exceptional accuracy and real-time capabilities, Using RTK services for GPS is becoming a cornerstone in a wide range of applications, from precision agriculture to advanced robotics. With RTK and GPS, kinematic measurements have entered a new era […]

If you have ever struggled to design and set up your own RTK base station, you should read this and learn about Point One's RTK cloud service, a simpler and innovative solution for "precise location".

Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol (NTRIP) is a cornerstone technology in geolocation and surveying. From precision agriculture to construction, land surveying, and autonomous vehicle navigation, a variety of businesses can use NTRIP to access real-time, high-accuracy location data essential for their operations’ efficiency and accuracy.  But most organizations simply aren’t equipped to set […]

Polaris provides highly-accurate RTK for automotive and ADAS testing. It’s helping customers improve testing with better data. T.O. Johnson has integrated it into their product because they think all clients need it.

The only way to build precise and safe navigation systems is to combine LiDAR, GNSS, & RTK. Here's why.
