etherWhere has partnered with Xona Space Systems to develop a receiver capable of tracking Xona’s high-performance, multi-frequency PULSAR
signals.
etherWhere’s PULSAR + dual-band GNSS receiver will be a one chip, low power solution that integrates all four GNSS constellations while receiving and processing the Xona PULSAR signal simultaneously. The single chip solution with single digit mW power consumption is intended to further enable IoT, asset tracking, mobile, precise timing, and secure geolocation applications.
etherWhere’s Hybrid Constellation solution, a mix of traditional GNSS receivers and LEO satellite receivers, integrated onto a single low power silicon, is the most comprehensive offering for applications requiring low power, redundancy, and security with anti-jamming and anti-spoofing technology. etherWhere’s next generation small form factor GNSS products are adding support for Xona PULSAR signals.
Xona Space Systems is developing PULSAR, a nexgen position, navigation, and timing (PNT) service to address growing user demands for higher performance from satellite navigation technologies. PULSAR is provided by a constellation of small but powerful LEO satellites 20 times closer to Earth than existing GPS. This novel and patented architecture enables unprecedented benefits including enhanced multipath mitigation and higher accuracy, as well as stronger interference and spoofing protection. PULSAR can be easily integrated into a variety of solutions, including traditional GNSS receivers, to reduce customer engineering investment and enable quick time to market.
“We’re thrilled to work jointly with Xona Space Systems to provide unprecedented PNT performance to the end user with mass market user equipment. Integrating Xona PULSAR into our new products will empower users with PNT performance in the smallest form factor and lowest cost they’ve never witnessed before. There is tremendous value in what our PULSAR + dual-band GNSS receivers can achieve.” — Michael Raam, CEO, etherWhere CEO. “”
“We are thrilled to welcome etherWhere to the PULSAR ecosystem,” said . “etherWhere is on the cutting edge of developing high-performance PNT user equipment at very low power – Xona PULSAR will elevate the performance of their receivers to deliver even more value to their customers.” — Bryan Chan, Vice President of Business Development and Strategy, Xona
