From Arctic geometry gaps to sovereignty exposure, can Canada afford continued dependence on external GNSS systems? The strategic silence in Ottawa has finally broken. For decades, Canada’s reliance on the American Global Positioning System (GPS) […]
Atomic clocks have become central to the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and GPS because they are highly developed quantum sensors that enable precise timing and positioning. Defense timing today depends on GPS signal distribution, […]
Emlid is joining GoGeomatics Expo 2025 as a Bronze Sponsor. The flagship three-day event, which connects Canada’s geospatial, geomatics, and construction communities, will take place November 3-5, 2025, at the Big Four Roadhouse in Calgary. […]
From the GPS in your phone to the navigation systems guiding aircraft and ships, our modern world depends on knowing exactly where “north” is. But here’s the twist — there isn’t just one north. There […]
At GeoIgnite 2025 in Ottawa, Luc Vaillancourt, founder of BALIZ, delivered one of the event’s most thought-provoking talks: “Two Solitudes in Geomatics.” Drawing inspiration from Canadian literature and culture, Vaillancourt used the metaphor of “two […]
As the world becomes more unpredictable, the case for Canada’s self-reliance in critical infrastructure is stronger than ever. One of the biggest gaps is in satellite navigation. Positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) have become core […]
Among the critical topics addressed at the LidarCANEX event held recently was the impact of Solar Cycle 25 on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-dependent field operations — a subject of increasing importance for those engaged […]
Hydrography is a cornerstone of safe and efficient navigation in Canada’s vast and complex waterways. From charting the world’s longest coastline to adhering to international maritime standards, the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) ensures maritime safety […]
