Septentrio

Septentrio, founded in 2000 and based in Leuven, Belgium, is a manufacturer specializing in high-precision Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers. The company develops and sells receivers designed for system integrators and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), focusing on secure and reliable positioning solutions. Septentrio’s technology emphasizes resilience against GNSS jamming and spoofing, offering robust performance in challenging environments.

Key capabilities center around Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning and the integration of GNSS with inertial solutions. This technology supports a range of applications including industrial automation, GeoScience & Infrastructure, and unmanned vehicles, as well as Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) and space applications. Septentrio currently serves a global customer base, with over K+ customers worldwide, and powers some of the largest reference networks with over 10,000 receivers deployed.

Notably, Septentrio’s mosaic-X5 GNSS technology is utilized in ANavS GmbH’s mPOM system, a solution implemented by Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) for advanced railway track maintenance and vehicle localization. This demonstrates the company’s ability to deliver precise positioning even in GNSS-denied environments.

Septentrio positions itself as a market leader in resilient GNSS receiver protection against jamming and spoofing, offering both high-performance products and dedicated support to facilitate smooth integration for its customers. The company actively shares insights through webinars and publications, focusing on the evolving threat landscape of GNSS interference.
