About the Company

Xona Space Systems

Delivers precision navigation and timing services

Xona Space Systems provides precision navigation and timing (PNT) services using low Earth orbit satellites. Its secure signals resist interference and multipath and work with low-cost receivers to augment GNSS or provide an independent navigation solution for commercial, government, and defense customers. The system broadcasts PNT signals from LEO satellites that users receive with simple receivers and can combine with GNSS for higher accuracy. Its goal is to deliver reliable, high-accuracy positioning and timing data at scale to power autonomous vehicles, precision agriculture, and other intelligent systems.
