Emitech Group Integrates Guide-GNSS and becomes a major player in satellite-based GNSS metrology

By Eric Van Rees - 10th June 2025 - 14:05

Emitech Group announces the acquisition of Guide-GNSS, an independent COFRAC-accredited testing laboratory specializing in the validation of satellite-based geolocation system (GNSS) performance.

This strategic move marks Emitech’s entry into a rapidly growing field and complements its expertise in functional, regulatory, and environmental testing.

A unique expertise in GNSS metrology
Founded in 2010, Guide-GNSS is now a recognized European leader in the evaluation, validation, and
certification of GNSS Based Positioning Terminals (GBPT). Accredited to ISO 17025 with a level 3 flexible scope—a rare case in Europe—the Toulouse-based laboratory relies on precise, tailored, and proven methods to conduct tests in real-world conditions or on test benches using real or simulated GNSS signals. These positioning systems play an increasingly essential role in critical functions, particularly in sectors such as automotive, rail, aerospace, maritime, and agriculture.

Guide-GNSS’s services include:
• GNSS performance testing (accuracy, integrity, resilience to GNSS attacks),
• Design of customized test scenarios and modeling of synthetic environments for digital simulation,
• Consulting in GNSS engineering and advanced metrology.

Guide-GNSS is also a co-author of the EN 16803 series of standards, underscoring its role as a technical reference in its field.
