By Renee KnightLow-power GNSS chipset solutions provider etherWhere has partnered with Xona Space Systems to develop a receiver that tracks Xona’s multi-frequency PULSAR signal. PULSAR, a next-generation position, navigation, and timing (PNT) service, is provided by a constellation of small, powerful low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites that are 20 times closer to Earth than existing GPS.
By Inside GNSSXona Space Systems is now working with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the U.S. Space Force to accelerate the development of its Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) architecture that leverages the company’s PULSAR service.
By Inside GNSSLow Earth orbit (LEO) constellations offer a new avenue for assuring PNT. With satellites closer to the Earth, they provide stronger signals and improved positioning accuracy with rapidly changing geometry. They complement GNSS resiliency, security and precision for PNT, making LEO an attractive alternative PNT option for the industry to pursue.

By Inside GNSSPositioning is the fundamental prerequisite for autonomy—and both absolute (global) and relative (local) information is required. While a critical piece, GNSS and inertial need to be combined with other sensors, like cameras, to perceive the surrounding environment to enable autonomous navigation.
