Global Navigation Satellite Systems Engineering, Policy, and Design
With support from the European Space Agency (ESA), Switzerland-based Luxtelligence has demonstrated prototyping capabilities in a novel photonic platform. The platform is based on thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN), suited for the development of high-speed electro-optic modulators. Such modulators could, in turn, be used in positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) technologies.

Europe’s Galileo navigation system has taken a significant leap forward with the completion of a major upgrade to its Galileo Ground Segment. As one of the most complex ground segments ever developed in Europe, the challenge lay in seamlessly upgrading a system that serves more than four billion users globally—without disrupting service.
