At Systork, innovation and security are at the heart of everything we do. As we continue to provide cutting-edge GNSS solutions, we are excited to announce that we are fully embracing the open source model across our product lines. This shift isn’t just about using open source software, it’s about contributing, collaborating and ensuring the highest levels of transparency and security for the users.
Why are we making this change?
Our decision was motivated by several factors, including:
- Compatibility and collaboration with industry leaders
In the GNSS world, collaboration is essential. Many larger companies in the tech ecosystem also rely on open source technologies. By sharing our own contributions, we ensure that our modules remain compatible with industry-leading technologies. When we use open source solutions from these companies, we can actively contribute improvements to their code, fostering a two-way collaboration that benefits both parties. Our goal is to make sure that our technology works seamlessly with others, ensuring a smoother experience for our customers.
- Continuous improvement through community contribution
Open source is not just about using freely available code, it’s also about giving back. By adopting an open source approach, we encourage developers from around the world to collaborate, suggest improvements and contribute. It’s a community-driven process that accelerates growth and ensures that everyone benefits from the best available technology.
- Increased Flexibility and Transparency
By adopting an open source approach, we offer our users more flexibility in adapting and understanding our solutions. With open source, everyone can see how the code works, which is a key advantage in today’s world, where security is a top priority. This transparency builds trust and enables users to modify and customize the technology to suit their specific needs. It also allows for continuous improvement, as users can contribute to enhancing the code and functionality.
How we use open source at Systork
We are integrating open source code into our GNSS modules, Linnet Mosaic-X5 and Linnet ZED-F9P, and plan to extend this approach to our future products and developments. By doing so, we ensure greater flexibility and customization for users, enabling them to adapt our solutions to their specific needs.
We’re also committed to being active participants in the open source community. We don’t just consume—we contribute. In this spirit of collaboration, whether you’re a user of our technology or simply someone passionate about open source, your contributions will always be taken into account.
You can find our open source code directly in our shop, available within each product’s documentation. We encourage you to explore the code, recommend improvements, and even contribute your own ideas. Together, we can ensure that our GNSS modules remain at the cutting edge of innovation.
At Systork, we believe that the future of technology is open and collaborative. Our commitment to open source reflects our belief that transparency and teamwork are essential for driving innovation. We’re excited to embark on this journey and to contribute to a stronger, more secure, and more open technological ecosystem.
