Autonomous Vehicles
The future of autonomous driving is heavily reliant on the accuracy of high definition maps and absolute positioning to ensure regulated safety on our roads.

Our groundbreaking technologies transform the capability of all GNSS devices, smartphones and wearables to vehicles.
Driven by a purpose to improve the lives of everyone who relies on positioning technologies, we’ve overcome the inherent limitations of radio-based positioning to make it more accurate, reliable, and secure. Through active partnerships, we’re co-creating innovative solutions that set new standards in accuracy—affordable, sustainable, and designed to make a tangible difference for everyday users.
A world with FocalPoint technology is one that is smarter, more efficient and above all safer.
As one of the marvels of the modern world much of our economy depends on our global navigation and positioning and system (GNSS) - with services like Google Maps and Uber part of our everyday lives. Our transport, logistics and finance systems rely on it for security and authentication. However, the sensitivity and accuracy of current receivers fail the levels of performance 21st century businesses and individuals demand.
Using advanced physics and machine learning our world-changing technology solutions solve the inherent weaknesses of radio positioning. Supercorrelation™ is the only technology that enables consumer-grade devices to determine the angle of arrival of incoming radio signals using a software-only solution.
By improving every positioning solution on the planet our technologies will shape the future as we know it. Our philosophy ensures that the future we build will be a good one.
Founded in 2015, with headquarters in the UK and a subsidiary in the USA, our company has quickly gained recognition for its groundbreaking work in navigation and positioning, having earned multiple accolades, from the ION and IOP.
Driven by a commitment to ethical and sustainable practices, we continue to build a diverse, talented global team, dedicated to shaping the future of navigation.
