Lateration
Set new standards in the field of localization.
Lateration GmbH operates as a developer of precise positioning systems for both indoor and outdoor environments. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Ettlingen, Germany, the company specializes in creating robust hardware and proprietary algorithms to deliver reliable location accuracy, even in challenging conditions. The firm is represented by its CEO, Dr. Juri Sidorenko.
The core of Lateration's business is providing position tracking devices and systems that ensure secure data transmission. This technology is designed for clients who require high-precision location data for their operations. While specific clients are kept confidential, the company acknowledges partnerships with cross-industry global players such as Blackned, Rheinmetall, BWI, NXP, and ARX Robotics. This suggests a market focus on industrial, defense, and technology sectors where precise automation and navigation are critical. The business model appears to be centered on providing these integrated hardware and software solutions to enterprise clients.
Lateration's technology is based on lateration, a method of determining a position by measuring distances to multiple reference points. The company's products likely utilize techniques such as Time of Arrival (ToA) or Received Signal Strength (RSSI) to calculate these distances, offering a dependable alternative to GPS in environments where satellite signals are weak or unavailable. The hardware is built to be rugged and operate reliably under difficult environmental pressures. In 2022, the company received accelerator funding from ESA BIC Hessen & Baden-Württemberg. A subsequent equity financing round in February 2025 was backed by Lakestar, indicating investor confidence in the company's technology and market potential.
