Point One and Cellnex partner to accelerate the deployment of centimetre-accurate positioning infrastructure across Europe. The agreement will boost Physical AI revolution to allow services such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, and the next wave of industrial transformation. Strasbourg, France | Barcelona, 24 February 2026.- Point One Navigation, a leader in real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning technology, and Cellnex, Europe's independent telecommunications infrastructure leader, today announced a collaboration to expand the availability of high-precision positioning services across Europe. Under the agreement, Point One will leverage Cellnex's extensive neutral-host sites to accelerate the deployment of its centimetre-accurate correction network across six European countries (Italy, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Netherland and Switzerland). The collaboration reinforces Cellnex's commitment to supporting the broad ecosystem of RTK, GNSS augmentation, and Physical-AI-related service providers through its open and multi-tenant infrastructure model. The partnership will boost the autonomous economy throughout Europe. Just as fibre optic networks enabled the internet age and blockchain technology underpinned the crypto revolution, centimetre-accurate positioning is the infrastructure layer that will power the next industrial transformation, one where robots, drones, and autonomous vehicles become as ubiquitous as smartphones. "We believe everything that moves will eventually be autonomous, but autonomy is impossible without absolute spatial certainty" said Lucas McKenna, Director of Europe at Point One. "Traditional GPS gives you 5-15 meters of accuracy, the difference between being on the road and being in a lake. On the other hand, Point One's RTK network delivers centimetre-level accuracy on a continental scale. We believe Europe needs a step forward in critical infrastructure, and together with Cellnex we're extending the foundational layer for Physical AI to operate safely in the real world." Infrastructure for the autonomous age. Point One's RTK technology delivers positioning accuracy 100 times more precise than standard GPS by using a network of ground-based correction stations. These stations calculate exact errors in satellite signals caused by atmospheric distortion and orbital variations, then transmit real-time corrections to devices via the cloud. For challenging "GPS-denied" environments like urban canyons, Point One's Positioning Engine fuses GNSS data with IMU sensors and wheel odometry, enabling vehicles to navigate with centimetre precision even without direct satellite visibility. Cellnex brings unparalleled scale and reach to the partnership leveraging existing telecommunications infrastructure across the continent, Point One can rapidly densify its correction network to provide ubiquitous coverage, a critical requirement for safety-critical autonomous applications. "Cellnex offers the widest and best neutral and open footprint in Europe for strategic future services enabling the Physical AI tech trend. Joining our capabilities together with Point One, we will invigorate the European robotics industry in different sectors such as automotive, transportation, logistics and public safety", said Jamie Hayes, Global Sales Director at Cellnex. Enabling previously impossible applications. The collaboration will accelerate deployment across sectors where centimetre accuracy transforms possibility: * Precision Agriculture: Small and medium European farms will be able to deploy autonomous tractors that follow planting rows with centimetre precision, reducing fertilizer waste and increasing yields through Point One's Corrections Network. * Construction & Infrastructure: Automated grading systems allow construction equipment to level foundations perfectly without human surveyors, increasing efficiency and precision on job sites across Europe. * Urban Logistics: Autonomous delivery robots can navigate complex European city streets, maintaining precise positioning even when passing under bridges or between tall buildings where traditional GPS fails. * Drones' industry evolution: Drones need precise location technology for their autonomy and to improve accuracy, flight stability and operational efficiencies significantly reducing flight failures and accelerated transition from prototype to mass production. Unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2026. This partnership will be showcased at the Cellnex Booth (Hall 4 - Booth 4C50) and Point One Booth (Hall 6 Booth 6F14) at Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, demonstrating how telecommunications infrastructure is evolving to support not just connectivity, but precise positioning for the autonomous systems that will define Europe's industrial future.

Sub-Lane-Level navigation accuracy at CES 2026 with ST micro and Point One. For decades, the promise of centimeter-level precision for dynamic navigation applications has been blocked by a series of high hurdles. You could have accuracy, provided your application could justify the use of $10,000+ inertial navigation systems (INS). You could have reliability, if you stuck to static survey applications and stayed clear of skyscrapers and urban canyons. Or you could use low-cost GNSS components, if you compromise accuracy and are locked up with the vendor's limited, one-size-fits-all navigation software. At CES 2026, Point One Navigation and STMicroelectronics teamed up to flatten the track and to show attendees that a scalable, accurate, affordable and dynamic solution is ready to go - today! If you work with localization technologies, you'll appreciate that the Las Vegas Strip presents a high degree of difficulty when it comes to GNSS environments. Shiny high-rise hotels create multipath satellite and radio signal reflections and occlusions; dense webs of overpasses and bridges block GNSS satellite signals; and cellular congestion causes lengthy communication outages as you travel through the city. These conditions normally degrade a standard receiver's confidence to several meters. But these types of conditions are reality in many applications, which is why Point One Navigation, Inc. chose CES in Las Vegas as the proving ground for its latest collaboration. By bundling the newest ST Teseo 6 receiver with the Point One RTK Network and Positioning Engine software, Point One Navigation, Inc. created a drop-in localization stack that delivers a breakthrough in price-to-performance, while providing unparalleled precision you can further tune to your specific application. Read on to learn how its live demonstration project at CES ran uninterrupted for 3 days, mirroring the types of challenges your project will face in the real world. $50,000 accuracy on a minimal budget. The objective of this demo was to prove that affordable, mass-market silicon can now match the performance of elite reference systems, and that a fully integrated, end-to-end solution from ST and Point One is ready for you to use in your navigation project today! And while a few other providers make similar claims, this solution is unique in its reliability, scalability, and tunability for complex real-world applications. In keeping with its culture to tackle the most challenging conditions head on, its live demonstration was centered at the Wynn resort, right in the middle of the worst traffic and communications melee of CES. Several limousines hosted the combined STMicroelectronics Teseo 6 / Point One Positioning Engine solution for 3 continuous days, as they shuttled executives between multiple sites across Las Vegas, streaming location and navigation data from the solution to the demonstration booth. Visitors interacted with the live demonstration to witness how the solution performed as well as a $50,000 high-end reference system in its own Atlas Duo INS - a standalone, reference-quality system. The demonstration used a live map allowing visitors to zoom down to the stripes in the lanes in the streets, and see the sub-lane-level accuracy for themselves. Anatomy of the rig: how Point One Navigation, Inc. built it. To demonstrate the system's resilience, Point One Navigation, Inc. outfitted a fleet of courtesy limousines with a custom-built Point One navigation rig. These rigs weren't built with lab prototypes; they are fully functional, integrated systems available today, and in use by ST / Point One customers in their own upcoming product releases. * The Measurement Core: An ST Teseo 6 GNSS Receiver simultaneously tracks L1, L2, L5 and E6 signals across all modern satellite constellations with impressive antijam and low signal tracking. * The Inertial Core: An ST ASM330LHH automotive-grade, 6-axis IMU. This was critical for maintaining heading and position during extended GNSS-denied moments - like when a limo passed under a web of pedestrian bridges crossing the Las Vegas Strip connecting the casinos, or driving under the roofs of the airport arrival lanes. * The Ground Truth: A Point One Atlas Duo INS. This "truth system" is commonly used by OEMs as a reference system during development. Point One Navigation, Inc. used it in these rigs to constantly validate the Teseo 6 performance in real-time. The solution in the limo included a tablet showing both systems' live output on a lane-level map for comparison. * The Connectivity Hub: An industrial-grade wireless router with a cellular modem and a battery power bank. This streamed the RTK corrections to the vehicle from the Point One service and the live dashcam and precise position telemetry back to the live, zoomable map in the Wynn demonstration booth. This infrastructure enabled Point One Navigation, Inc. to deploy the rigs in the leased limos within minutes; in a production application, the solution would use the infrastructure native to the vehicle itself. Technical performance: conquering the urban canyon. The challenge of the Las Vegas Strip goes beyond just dealing with blocked and reflected satellite signals; it's about continuously managing an extremely dynamic and noisy RF environment, and maintaining a trustworthy precise location signal regardless of the motion of the vehicles. Here's how the ST Teseo 6 and Point One solution delivered reliable performance: * Multi-Constellation, Multi-Band Acquisition: The Teseo 6's quad-band (L1, L2, L5, E6) capabilities and 192 tracking channels are instrumental in obtaining all GNSS signals available across Las Vegas at any particular time. In highly reflective environments that cause severe multipath signals, access to more satellites across different frequencies significantly increases the probability of maintaining a strong GNSS/RTK fix. * Sensor Fusion for Dead Reckoning: Critical to GNSS-challenged zones is Point One's Positioning Engine software, which integrates cleanly with the inertial signals from the ST ASM330LHH IMU. When the limos drove under overpasses or airport roofs, these DR (dead reckoning) algorithms leveraged the IMU's accelerometer and gyroscope data to accurately predict the vehicle's trajectory. The result is a smooth, continuous precise location signal for onboard navigation, and in the case of its CES demonstration, producing a precise, sub-lane level trace on the map. * Sub-Lane-Level Accuracy for the Last Mile: The activity of limos picking up and dropping off executives at exact locations was similar to some last mile delivery scenarios. Last mile delivery is an especially challenging application, which demands a precise location solution of this caliber. This can include a delivery person locating an apartment door, or an autonomous delivery robot navigating sidewalks, or a drone landing on a special docking station. * Global Coverage, Local Precision: Its RTK Corrections Network - with over 2,000+ base stations and 99.9% uptime - delivers corrections with 1-3cm accuracy across five continents. Even for its demonstration at CES, no RTK base station was required - the rigs in the limos simply used the existing always-on RTK corrections network spanning the entire United States. * In-Field Observability: Its GraphQL API is a first-class citizen throughout the Point One solution. With no additional coding required, it provided the live telemetry from each rig showing solution status, satellite visibility, and correction quality, and streamed it to the demonstration booth in the Wynn. This level of transparency is a core tenet of Point One's comprehensive and modern location stack. Integrate, don't build. If you are an architect or engineer developing the next autonomous vehicle, robot, drone, mower, personal transport, human assistant, delivery service, or any other application that requires localization and navigation, the takeaway is that high precision is available in an integrated solution for you to use today. The affordability of ST's Teseo 6 removes the cost barriers in your bill of materials (BOM), and the precision that Point One created for its most advanced reference navigation system is now available on the Teseo 6, greatly simplifying the software complexity of your application.
