About
We design and manufacture multi-frequency multi-constellation GPS/GNSS positioning technology for demanding applications. At the core of our receivers is the latest GNSS technology delivering reliable centimeter-level positioning. Our receivers are known for their outstanding performance, high level of security, and resilience in challenging environments. That is why our products serve in safety-critical applications and are part of critical infrastructure around the world. Founded in 2000 as a spin-off of imec, the world's largest independent research center in nano-electronics and digital technologies, we have maintained a strong focus on innovation. We provide positioning solutions for industrial applications such as robotics, construction, survey and mapping, scientific, reference networks, maritime, logistics, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Our technology is designed to be robust against interference, featuring our advanced AIM+ anti-jamming and anti-spoofing technology. Headquartered in Leuven, Belgium, we have a global presence with offices in Los Angeles, Shanghai, Seoul, and Yokohama. In 2025, we joined the Hexagon Group, a global leader in digital reality solutions, strengthening our ability to deliver assured positioning solutions while continuing to operate with our distinct brand and customer focus. We are passionate about connecting our customers with the best positioning solutions to ensure their mission success every time.
