Who we are!

“It would be great if I could use my smartphone for navigation inside an airport to make sure I catch my connecting flight on time.”

This idea was the starting point for the founding of Pinpoint.

Our story

We are three founders with backgrounds in electrical engineering, specializing in circuit and system design. Through our many years of experience with real-time positioning systems—such as asset tracking for vehicles—we knew that the future of navigation lies in highly precise and reliable positioning, even indoors.

With Ultra-Wideband (UWB), we bring exactly this level of precision to smartphones. Our technology enables decimeter-level indoor navigation and works where GPS reaches its limits.

The key to this is our self-developed SATlets—small, intelligent anchor points that take on the role of GPS satellites indoors. They create a local positioning network, enabling precise, stable, and scalable navigation within buildings.

Our Location

In the environment of Chemnitz University of Technology, we have built an international development team that transfers our patented intellectual property across various device platforms and scales it globally. Our close connection to the university enables sustainable growth and access to new talent, while the proximity to successful startups inspires us to establish our technology worldwide.

We believe that the combination of experienced engineering expertise and young, creative minds is the key to turning visionary technologies like UWB and our SATlets into reality.

Our Mission

“We make indoor navigation as simple, precise, and intuitive as it is outdoors.”

With our UWB-based technology and SATlets, we enable people to navigate complex buildings effortlessly, reduce stress in time-critical situations, and unlock new digital services.

At the same time, privacy protection is at the core: positioning is processed directly on the end device—secure and efficient.

We are also driving the standardization of positioning technology—independent of hardware and device.
