Topcon integrates technology from Fixposition

(CONNECT) Fixposition has announced a collaboration with Topcon Positioning Systems at the Geo Week 2026 trade fair. It will take place in Denver in the US state of Colorado until February 18th, 2026. According to a press release, the Schlieren-based specialist for visual real-time kinematics (RTK) and visually supported positioning will provide the Californian company with its solutions. The technologies of the spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, which was founded in 2017, are to be integrated into the high-precision satellite-based positioning systems of the Californian company Topcon.

Topcon provides high-precision GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning technologies for geomatics, construction and agriculture applications worldwide, said Ron Oberlander, head of Topcon's Geomatics platform. The integration of Fixposition's visual positioning technologies helps his company to create added value for its customers.

"Fixposition has developed a technology that improves satellite positioning and benefits users even when working indoors and transitioning between indoor and outdoor areas without disrupting workflow by combining RTK GNSS with Artificial Intelligence to ensure positioning accuracy. We see this AI-powered technology as an innovative integration into our next-generation GNSS solutions."

Zhenzhong Su, CEO and co-founder of Fixposition, said: "We are proud to deliver Fixposition's xFusion, vision and multimodal fusion positioning technology to support Topcon's next generation GNSS solutions. We look forward to bringing this new solution to market and helping surveying professionals in geomatics, construction and agriculture achieve faster results and accomplish more without compromising quality, even in environments where GNSS connectivity is difficult." ce/mm
