Our purpose is to improve every positioning solution

At FocalPoint, our purpose is to improve the accuracy, reliability, and security of everyday devices that rely on positioning technology. We believe that GNSS is one of the marvels of the modern world, considering over a trillion dollars of the US economy and over 800 billion euros of the European economy currently depends on this incredible positioning and timing system. However, the sensitivity and accuracy of current receivers cannot fulfil the demands of 21st century businesses and users.

We develop groundbreaking technology that boosts the accuracy, reliability and security of radio receivers. Chipset manufacturers and Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) partner with us to enhance the capability of their devices, helping to improve the lives of billions of people who rely on location technologies.
