We are super excited that @sparkfun is joining us at FUSE Nov 19 at the Foundry in San Francisco! Grab your ticket and don't miss the 30% off discount code ⬇️ below 😀

This week we ran the first FUSE location technology conference in Toulouse, France! 🧭 Nine talks, a room full of people who build localization systems for a living. Jam-resistant GNSS. Train localization certified at SIL4. Interceptor drones. LiDAR when GNSS is gone. Next stop: San Francisco, November 19 at Foundry SF Register: fuse.pointonenav.com/sf

Flooded roads. Collapsed structures. Drone search grids. When the map changes overnight, how precise is your location data? Point One is heading to Houston for the Natural Disaster Expo at the George R. Brown Convention Center. Infrastructure fails, response teams still need to know exactly where people, assets, and hazards are. Point One delivers 1–2 cm RTK from a fully owned corrections network, with sensor fusion that holds position when open sky disappears. Stop by our booth to see how to get centimeter accuracy into your critical response system. 🗓️ Oct 14–15 | George R. Brown Convention Center, Houston 📍 Booth 818 #GNSS #RTK #DisasterResponse #EmergencyManagement

"Check your GNSS signal" is the most common RTK troubleshooting advice. But what does it actually mean? 🤔 Gabriel Amancio, who leads application engineering at Point One, walks through the key metrics that give you an RTK fix: 📡 C/N0 vs. SNR, and why C/N0 is the better yardstick across receivers 📊 The 40 dB-Hz threshold and why you want 8–12 signals above it ⚖️ RTK Fix vs. Float vs. DGNSS: what each one means for accuracy 🛰️ A live lab test with the antenna indoors, then up on the roof in open sky

Position, uncertainty, solution type — that's the easy part. The real diagnostics are in a message you might not be reading. 🛰️ Gabe breaks down what your GNSS receiver is telling you👇

FUSE — the location technology conference for Physical AI — is less than a month away, landing in Toulouse on October 6th at the Orange Innovation Center. 🧭 ⏳ Early bird pricing ends Sep 10 — grab your ticket: hubs.ly/Q04xvDJm0 Jean-Baptiste Kempf spent two decades making sure your video never stalls. Now, as CEO of Kyber, he's chasing a different kind of lag — the one between knowing where a machine is and telling it what to do. At FUSE, Jean-Baptiste will get into real-time machine control: why closing that latency gap matters, and what open-source thinking brings to robotics that it already brought to media. A bit about Jean-Baptiste: 🎬 Creator and president of the VideoLAN non-profit, the team behind VLC 🌍 20 years in open source; maintainer of dozens of projects 🚀 Founded multiple startups across multimedia and gaming 🛠️ Former CTO / VP Engineering at Shadow, Vente-Privée, and Scaleway 🤖 Now building Kyber — open technology for controlling machines, drones, and robots in real time Glad to have Jean-Baptiste on the FUSE stage!

Is your GNSS signal good enough for RTK? Corrections are flowing. Your position is still drifting. What's not working? Start with signal quality — how many satellites are being used, and how strong is each signal when it reaches the receiver? In this 10 minute tutorial, Gabe walks through how to: 🛰️ check satellites used vs. satellites tracked 📊 read a C/N₀ (carrier-to-noise density ratio) plot 📡 isolate interference from the other sensors in your stack This example runs on Point One's Atlas INS, but the metrics apply to any GNSS receiver.

FUSE — the location technology conference for Physical AI — comes to Toulouse on October 6th at the Orange Innovation Center 🧭 ⏳ Early bird pricing ends Sep 10 — grab your ticket: fuse.pointonenav.com A derailment isn't a bug report. That's why train localization gets held to SIL4, the highest safety integrity level in rail — and it's exactly the world Adrien Gharios works in as Train Navigation System Architect at Groupe SNCF. Adrien will get into what it actually takes to certify an onboard sensor fusion chain at that level, and where ERTMS is headed next. A bit about Adrien: 🚄 Expert in railway signalling and train positioning architecture 🛠️ Designs safe, reliable train localization systems at SNCF 🇪🇺 Contributes to both the Innovation and System Pillars of Europe's Rail Joint Undertaking 🔬 Works on R2DATO and Absolute Safe Train Positioning (ASTP) 📡 Focused on sensor fusion certifiable at SIL4, and the evolution of ERTMS Thanks to Adrien for speaking at FUSE Toulouse!

Point One is at Intergeo. 📍 Munich, Germany | Hall C5, Stand C5H113 🗓️ September 15–17 Come find out about the world's densest RTK network with <35 km uniform station spacing. #Intergeo #Geospatial #Surveying #GNSS #RTK

Ready for race day! Point One is a proud sponsor and provider of precision location technology for the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) at Laguna Seca—September 3rd. This year is especially exciting: autonomous vehicles will be passing each other at speeds approaching 180 mph!~ Now more than ever, precision drives performance. Good luck to all the teams. See you at the track!

FUSE Toulouse is just a few weeks away! One day, one track, with the engineers solving the hard localization problems in robotics, autonomy, and Physical AI. Few engineers know inertial sensing as well as Philippe Robert, Co-Founder & CEO of iNGage SAS. Great to have him speaking at FUSE Toulouse on October 6th. ⏳ Register now (early bird ends Sep 10): hubs.ly/Q04v_5LV0 Philippe will present a new MEMS technology for high-performance inertial sensors: navigation that holds when GNSS degrades or disappears, at a price point that puts high-end inertial sensing into high-volume applications. A bit about Philippe: 🎓 PhD in electrical engineering 🛠️ Built MEMS inertial sensors at Thales from 1998 🔬 Led the Sensors Laboratory, then a 120-person Microsystems Department at CEA-Leti 💡 Invented the M&NEMS concept, piezoresistive nano-gauge detection 📄 ~50 papers and 60+ patents filed #FUSEToulouse #PhysicalAI #InertialNavigation #MEMS

How do you pick the receiver and antenna for a robotics or autonomy localization system? Two receivers can share the same spec sheet — and perform completely differently once they're in the field. Point One FAEs Gabe Amancio and Mica Vazquez are running a roundup of real receiver, IMU, and antenna examples across robots, autonomous vehicles, and wearables to show how these decisions actually play out. What you'll learn: 🛰️ Why spec sheets show perfect-condition numbers that rarely hold up ⚙️ How IMU price and quality decide what happens when GNSS drops 📡 Why antenna band and placement gate everything downstream 🔁 What chip-down design trades off as you scale 📅 Tomorrow, Tuesday, September 1 at 10:00 AM PT Gabe Amancio & Mica Vazquez, Field Application Engineers — Point One Navigation 🎟️ Register: hubs.ly/Q04vYYsx0

FUSE Toulouse - the location technology conference - is almost here and we’re excited to highlight the great speaker line-up.  First up - Hassan Bouchiba, Co-Founder & CEO of Exwayz. Hassan will walk through LiDAR SLAM when satellites aren't an option — real-time, GPS-free navigation that stays precise without special hardware. He studied robotics and applied mathematics at Mines ParisTech, earned a PhD in 3D computer vision, and led upstream R&D at Terra3D.  It’s a treat to have him speaking at FUSE!
