About Xona Space Systems

Xona Space Systems is a navigation infrastructure company. It is building a satellite navigation service called Pulsar. The company describes Pulsar as the most advanced positioning, navigation and timing infrastructure in low Earth orbit. It is designed to work with the signals people already use today.

The company says existing GPS devices can gain centimeter level accuracy through a software update. Device owners do not need to buy new hardware. The site lists 258 small satellites in an orbit of 1,080 km. It says the company launched the first commercially funded navigation satellite.

The company's news says Pulsar's first deployment will send six satellites to space. Another update says Xona named a new operations chief as Pulsar enters scaled production. The company also reported a $250 million Series D round.

Pulsar is aimed at many sectors. The site lists defense, agriculture, telecom, transportation and logistics, infrastructure and energy, maritime, construction and surveying, aviation, financial systems, fleets, mining and autonomous robotics. The site says the service can keep networks synchronized, power grids with fewer blackouts and fly aircraft with stability through interference.

The company has an ecosystem program for device makers. It lists Pulsar Verified receivers, simulators and test platforms. It also offers turnkey user and test equipment. Its partners listed on the site include Collins Aerospace, Septentrio, STMicroelectronics and Trimble.

Xona has offices in Burlingame, California, where its headquarters is, and in Montreal and London. The company lists four values: ambition, responsibility, collaboration and decisiveness. The careers page lists 51 open positions.

The site describes Pulsar as broadcasting a new signal that works everywhere people use GPS today. It says the satellites are high efficiency and built for navigation. Pulsar is described as having stronger signal strength and faster time to authentication. The company's media team can be reached through a dedicated media address.
