UK-based GNSS software provider Focal Point Positioning will present Precise+, its high-precision GNSS technology, at the European Navigation Conference (April 28-30, 2026, Vienna, Austria), highlighting how its Supercorrelation approach enhances carrier-phase positioning.
On the first day of the conference, Focal Point Positioning principal engineer Javier Garcia will present a poster titled Precise+: Bringing the benefits of Supercorrelation to precise GNSS positioning. The research explores how the company’s patented Precise+ technology enhances carrier-phase measurements in challenging environments, enabling centimeter-level positioning accuracy. This capability opens new commercial opportunities, particularly in autonomous vehicle navigation and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Supercorrelation has reportedly improved GNSS reliability in challenging environments, significantly improving code-phase and Doppler measurements in real-world testing worldwide. Precise+ marks the next leap forward, extending these benefits to carrier-phase positioning and enabling centimeter-level accuracy in environments where high-precision GNSS has traditionally struggled.
“The European Navigation Conference is an important date in the calendar, and it’s an exciting opportunity to share our vision for Precise+ and the high-precision products it will make possible,” explained Jez Ellis-Gray, lead product manager at Focal Point Positioning. “As GNSS applications increasingly rely on consistent performance in difficult signal environments, improving measurement reliability remains an important area of research.”
“Our earlier studies and field trials have demonstrated how Supercorrelation can improve the reliability of standard GNSS measurements affected by signal reflection and obstruction,” added Ellis-Gray. “Through this research, we are demonstrating how new techniques can be applied to carrier-phase measurement that underpins high-precision positioning methods.”
