Beyond GNSS: Simulating alternative and complementary PNT signals in the lab
The ever-growing reliance on PNT technologies, and the emergence of new threats, means we need more sources of PNT to keep receivers robust and resilient. There are plenty of new sources to choose from, from PNT constellations in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) like Xona PULSAR, to Locata’s ground-based service, which offer independent backup to GNSS. […]

Introducing PNT X: Our most powerful and flexible PNT simulator ever
Positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) are critical capabilities in an ever-growing range of systems – from military drones to communications satellites, and from autonomous cars to crewless container ships. Even lunar landers are now equipped with GNSS receivers. And while global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) like GPS were once the default source of space-based PNT, […]
