Aptella (formerly Position Partners) is now representing Fixposition, a Swiss start-up that has made a name for itself via its Vision-RTK 2 positioning solution, which increases accuracy through the integration of RTK-corrected GNSS, computer vision and IMU technology.
“We are honoured to represent Fixposition and offer customers an exciting combined PNT [positioning, navigation and timing] solution at such incredible value. We expect it to be a major factor for the increased adoption of autonomous systems,” said Martin Nix, CEO at Aptella.
Fixposition says its Vision-RTK 2 delivers reliable, high-precision positioning in challenging scenarios such as beneath tree canopies, between skyscrapers and through tunnels.
“GNSS signals can be weak and easily interfered with, either unintentionally by the natural environment or by malicious intent,” said James Millner, Positioning Infrastructure Manager from Aptella.
“Moreover, our society is extremely dependent on GNSS (PNT) systems that impact our lives daily, from securing the borders to improving safety applications in cars.”
According to Peter Mardaleichvili, Head of Product at Fixposition, by “seamlessly fusing the absolute, global precision of GNSS with the agility of Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO), our positioning solution… mitigates the weaknesses inherent in each technology…”
