PosiTim Company Focus
PosiTim is focussed on solutions and services for the high accuracy GNSS market. We are experts in satellite navigation and with high accuracy we mean millimeters!

PosiTim Software NAPEOS
Our high accuracy GNSS processing software is the NAPEOS software package as developed and maintained at the European Space Opertations Centre (ESOC) of the European Space Agency (ESA). Our general manager and founder of the company, Dr. Tim Springer, has been, and still is, one of the key developers of the GNSS part of this NAPEOS software. NAPEOS is used by ESA since the beginning of 2008 for all its activities in the International GNSS Service (IGS). But within ESA the NAPEOS software has a much longer history as its development started around 1995 for the flight dynamics department within ESOC. NAPEOS is one of the best GNSS processing softwares available on the market today.

What's in a name?
You may wonder where the name PosiTim comes from!?
Well it is based on four different words. First of all it comes from the two words that are central to GNSS; the words Position and Time. These two keywords coupled with the first name of the company founder and the resemblence with the word positive have led to the selection of the company name PosiTim.
