SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Point One Navigation, a leader in precise positioning technology, has launched its Virtual RTK service to provide customers with complete precision coverage at continent scale. Virtual RTK joins Point One's True RTK service under its Polaris product umbrella to deliver "coverage everywhere" with centimeter-level precision, fast convergence times, and 99.9% uptime. With Virtual RTK, Polaris is now one of the world's most comprehensive RTK corrections services and offers a reliable and modern solution at a price point that makes sense for any application, from individuals to large enterprises.
"Our Polaris RTK corrections service, offering both Virtual RTK and True RTK, is truly unique," said Aaron Nathan, CEO of Point One Navigation. "We are providing our customers with a comprehensive suite of correction tools for high-precision positioning, at a price that makes the most sense for their particular application. True RTK offers the gold standard for convergence and precision and, now, Virtual RTK offers consistent coverage and value for fleets operating at scale."
Virtual RTK, which is powered by advanced State Space Representation (SSR) technology, sets a new industry standard by leveraging a highly discrete and accurate model of GNSS error sources, including clock/time errors, ephemeris errors, tropospheric density, and ionospheric variations, with support for every modern GNSS system and signal. The Polaris Virtual Reference Station (VRS) model is powered by real-time data from more than 1,700 base stations, ensuring unmatched accuracy and reliability from anywhere in the contiguous US, UK, or EU.
"This innovation underscores our commitment to offering the best-in-class precise location solutions for any application, from robotics, to drone mapping, to autonomous vehicles and everything in-between," Aaron added. "The Polaris product line, combined with our Location Cloud and Fusion Engine positioning software, forms a robust platform that meets the diverse needs of our customers, ensuring seamless integration and unmatched performance."
