Xona is building satellite navigation infrastructure based on a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation. Founded in 2019, the company is developing systems that provide positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services with signal authentication, targeting applications where traditional GPS may be insufficient. The company secured $170 million in Series C funding to support its development.
The company's primary product, Pulsar, is a LEO satellite constellation designed to deliver advanced PNT signals. It is engineered for 2cm horizontal positioning accuracy, with signals reported to be 100 times stronger than those from traditional GPS. The planned constellation will comprise 258 satellites. The technology is being applied across autonomous systems, robotics, and precision agriculture.
Xona's technical work encompasses satellite navigation, LEO system design, and signal authentication. The company operates on a global scale, developing infrastructure intended to serve industries requiring reliable, high-precision positioning data resistant to jamming.
