New cooperation improves precision in surveying and construction
Fixposition, based in Schlieren, is collaborating with Topcon on its next generation of satellite-based positioning systems. The Californian company will equip drones with Fixposition's visually assisted technologies for high-precision positioning.
Fixposition announced a collaboration with Topcon Positioning Systems at the Geo Week 2026 trade fair. The fair is taking place in Denver, Colorado, until 18 February 2026. According to a press release, the Schlieren-based specialist in real-time kinematic (RTK) and visually assisted positioning will provide its solutions to the Californian company. The technologies developed by the spin-off of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, founded in 2017, are to be integrated into the high-precision satellite-based positioning systems of the Californian company Topcon.
Topcon offers high-precision GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning technologies for geomatics, construction and agricultural applications worldwide, according to Ron Oberlander, head of Topcon’s Geomatics platform. The integration of Fixposition’s visual positioning technologies will help his company create added value for its customers.
“Fixposition has developed technology that improves satellite positioning and benefits users even when working inside buildings and transitioning between indoor and outdoor areas, without disrupting the 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, says he is “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 do more without compromising on quality, even in environments where GNSS connections are difficult.”
