TOTEM, Point One Navigation, and Orange partner to deploy Europe's largest positioning correction network
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Point One Navigation, a leader in precise positioning technology, today announced a strategic partnership with TOTEM, the industrial tower company, and Orange, a world-leading telecommunications operator, to accelerate the deployment of the largest GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) correction network across Europe. By leveraging TOTEM's extensive portfolio of thousands of accessible high-level telecommunication towers and rooftops across France and Spain, along with Orange's advanced connectivity solutions – including their M2M SIM cards and 4G/5G connectivity, Point One can rapidly deploy its network and provide continuous, centimeter-level accuracy to its customers.
Infrastructure synergy: TOTEM's Tower network and Orange's connectivity
This partnership is essential to Point One's global expansion, allowing the company to install and manage its own GNSS corrections base stations on over 500 TOTEM sites. With this new infrastructure Point One will bring immediate benefits to customers across various sectors - from construction and surveying to precision agriculture and public safety – depending on high-accuracy data for critical operations.
Unlike traditional models that rely on revenue-sharing agreements with telecom partners, this collaboration allows Point One to maintain full ownership and operational control of its network infrastructure. This approach ensures the highest standards of reliability, performance, and scalability, reinforcing Point One's position as a leader in providing precise, reliable, and easy-to-integrate location services that power the future of autonomous systems.
Centimeter-level accuracy with unparalleled reliability
This strategic partnership goes beyond infrastructure to include close collaboration with Orange, to strengthen the entire ecosystem. Point One's integration with Orange's infrastructure provides an additional layer of resilience and performance to the GNSS corrections network.
The partnership is built on a comprehensive collaboration model:
- Direct supply partnership: Orange Business provides essential SIM cards for Point One's global Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) network connectivity, ensuring users can access precise location data anywhere in the world through Point One's network.
- Commercial channel partnerships: Orange Business will also act as sales channel, recommending Point One's solutions to end customers in their respective markets.
- Scope and regional coverage: The agreement defines the specific service and regions covered for each collaboration, ensuring smooth implementation. This framework enables both companies to explore co-selling opportunities, opening new growth markets, while maintaining clear operational boundaries.
Beyond infrastructure: a comprehensive technology ecosystem
"This partnership with TOTEM is a fundamental step in our European expansion and a testament to our commitment to building a global, professionally managed RTK network," said Aaron NATHAN, CEO at Point One Navigation. "TOTEM's infrastructure provides the ideal platform for our base stations, allowing us to deliver seamless, centimeter-level accuracy with high uptime and reliability to our customers in France and Spain. This collaboration not only strengthens our network but also positions us to be an indispensable enabler of the new technology frontier in Europe."
"TOTEM's collaboration with Point One showcases how we are leveraging our infrastructure to facilitate technological innovation and support the development of next-generation applications," said Emmanuel ROCHAS, CEO of TOTEM. "By hosting Point One's advanced GNSS corrections base stations, we are playing a crucial role in enabling new potential customers on our towers: robotics, automated ground vehicle (AGV), Internet of Things (IoT) players. This partnership demonstrates our dedication to fostering a dynamic ecosystem that brings new value to all stakeholders and scale faster."
"At Orange, we are excited to contribute to this innovative partnership that illustrates our commitment to creating open-innovation ecosystems that generate value for our customers and partners while supporting the development of next-generation technologies," said François GUY, SVP SME Enterprises France Market at Orange. "This collaboration creates a powerful synergy between Point One's precision positioning technology, TOTEM's strategic infrastructure assets, and Orange's networks."
This strategic partnership highlights the critical role of TOTEM's infrastructure as the foundation for Point One's European expansion. By leveraging TOTEM's strategically located tower sites and Orange's technological expertise, Point One can rapidly deploy its high-precision GNSS network with optimal coverage and reliability, while accelerating the adoption of centimeter-accurate positioning across multiple industries throughout Europe.
