GEOFLEX, VEDECOM Tech, YoGoKo and SYSNAV announce the first worldwide end to end centimeter localization service dedicated to the automotive and mobility services industries

About GEOFLEX

GEOFLEX is the operator of new Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) augmentation services based on PPP-CNES technology, enabling it to be located at 4 cm (2D-95%) around the world, on land, at sea and in the sky, all the time, with a single receiver, without any permanent GNSS station nearby.
The activity was created in 2012 with the preliminary objective of testing in operational conditions the PPP-CNES technology, by creating the first compatible receiver, to become the technical and sales operator of the newly PPP technology.
Eighteen months after the signing of exclusive and global agreements for the industrialization and commercialization of PPP-CNES technology, GEOFLEX has opened on the 1st of January 2018 a first level of operational services allowing to position itself around the world with a single receiver and a precision (2D-95%)
of up to 4 cm with 30 minutes of convergence for PPP-IAR (Precise Point Positioning with Integer Ambiguities Resolution).
GEOFLEX is to date the only agnostic operator broadcasting its corrections in an interoperable format (RTCM3).
These corrections may, optionally, for the customers integrating very high added value services be accompanied by a BOX of GNSS augmentation services. This equipment is also available as a hardware and software development kits and to allow customer reduced Time to Market and to maintain their focus on their production systems.

About VEDECOM Tech

VEDECOM Tech was created in March 2017 as a VEDECOM engineering affiliate in charge of the development and the industrialization of innovative technologies for new mobility programs, from prototyping life proof of concept to real operational experimentation on open road and the implementation of new industrial sectors. It is a hub of
innovation and collaborative engineering built from the ecosystem of the VEDECOM Institute.
VEDECOM, which was created in February 2014, is a Research Institute for Energy Transition (ITE), developed as part of the French Government’s Investments for the Future Program (PIA). VEDECOM is organized as a collaborative and pre-competitive research hub, bringing together more than 50 members such as world-wild manufacturers, research laboratories and communities.
The VEDECOM Institute and VEDECOM Tech are dedicated to sustainable, safe, efficient and affordable terrestrial mobilities.

About YoGoKo

YoGoKo provides communication solutions for the connected & cooperative vehicle. Established in 2014 after 10 years’ worth of R&D, YoGoKo developed Y-SMART, a unified software platform combining hybrid communication technologies (ITS-G5, DSRC, Wi-Fi, cellular 3/4/5G, LoRA, 802.15.4, satellite,…) as needed to provide extended & secure connectivity. Y-SMART allows vehicles to exchange data directly with their surrounding environment (vehicles, roadside infrastructure, urban infrastructure …) while offering performant connectivity to the cloud.
The Y-SMART platform manages communications, data, and services. It avoids the development of solutions in non-interoperable silos and facilitates the deployment of innovative services. It allows, amongst others, the transmission of information related to road safety and traffic efficiency, data collection and processing, fleet tracking and management, remote diagnosis, software over-the-air updates, Internet access and other added- value applications and services.
Y-SMART is integrated into various hardware platforms fitting to the appropriate deployment environments.
YoGoKo solutions are currently deployed in V2X pilot deployments (e.g. SCOOP@F) and in connected autonomous vehicle programs (VEDECOM, ALTRAN, AutoCITS …).

About SYSNAV

Issued from the Defense labs, SYSNAV is a fast-growing French SME that designs and develops innovative navigation systems, geo localization and motion capture solutions without GPS signal and without infrastructure, for critical or even extreme environments.
Its solutions are based on a new generation of “magneto-inertial” geolocation technology, widely awarded nationally and internationally, as a substitute for or supplement to GPS.
SYSNAV markets dedicate solutions for different industries where localization information is strategic, and offers its customers high value-added technology advice via Le Lab SYSNAV to integrate them.
These solutions are now targeting the sectors of security and defense, medical, airport and nuclear.
