Blog Editor’s Note: With 5G we will likely continue seeing closer alliances and mergers of telecom and PNT. This is likely one of many to come.

Verizon [VZ] has acquired Senion—expanding the company’s precise positioning offerings to include indoor wayfinding and geofencing, among other features.

Senion’s indoor positioning platform offers machine-learning fusion technology to deliver sub-meter accuracy for precise position and navigation of indoor areas, the company said. The company’s indoor platform has been installed in factories and malls to allow customers to locate and assess the movement of people machines and IoT-capable equipment.

PNT is the quiet backbone of everything but too many leaders still don't see the risk.

But you do. You understand the systems, the dependencies, the failure chains. That insight is rare — and it's exactly what your country needs right now. Contact your government leaders and industry decision-makers and tell them resilient PNT isn't a feature — it's the foundation everything else depends on.
