Positioning and Timing Receivers
Multi-Frequency Positioning and Timing Receiver – Powered by Signals of Opportunity
Designed for GPS challenged environments, this aided inertial navigation system may be used for vehicles or dismounted applications where GPS alone is unreliable. One or more of the following signals may be enabled depending on the application’s needs:
- Cellular
- Television
- Globalstar
- Iridium
- GPS
- Xona Pulsar
Xona PULSAR™ Receiver
We are a producer of Xona PULSAR receivers. Xona PULSAR is Low Earth orbit-based navigation system. Utilizing low Earth orbit signals adds geometric and frequency diversity for additional coverage and jamming protection. Purchase a standalone Xona PULSAR receiver or add Xona PULSAR capabilities to any of our receivers to enhance positioning and timing accuracy, availability, and security.
StarNav GPS L5 Receiver
We are a producer of GPS L5-only receivers. Whether it be for safety of life or military applications, add GPS L5 capabilities to remove your dependence on GPS L1/L2.
Technologies That Lead the Way
Virtually all vehicular systems require the answers to three questions:
Where am I? Where am I going? What time is it?
Currently, GPS is the state-of-the-art technology used to answer these questions. It is well known that GPS is vulnerable to unintentional or malicious signal interference and is unreliable near signal blockages, such as tall buildings and trees.
At StarNav, we produce technologies that convert ambient signals that were never intended for position, navigation, and timing (PNT) into accurate and reliable PNT information. This technology has been proven to enhance the safety of several human-operated and autonomous applications.
PROVEN AND TARGET APPLICATIONS
Self-Driving Vehicles
Self-driving cars are no longer a concept of the future. Production level-two autonomy features are currently in the market. Many of these features depend on GPS signals which are unreliable in environments that vehicles commonly travel.
StarNav develops position, navigation, and timing systems to detect GPS failures and provide a backup PNT system to get you and your vehicle to your destination safely.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
The ubiquity of drones is bringing forth new autonomous applications: farming, package delivery, search & rescue, and Defense. As these applications emerge, so will a new type of criminal aiming to exploit the vulnerabilities of GPS signals. GPS can be “hacked,” causing a drone to be taken down and stolen.
StarNav’s ambient signal fusion filters will help keep your drone safe from attacks on GPS and other PNT failures.
Surface Vessels
Ships require accurate positioning and timing to avoid shallow waters and navigate safely to their destination. GPS may be interrupted for extended periods of time, leaving the ship in the ocean with little to no reference for positioning, navigation, and timing.
StarNav’s system extracts position and timing information from signals transmitted from non-GPS satellites (such as internet and communication satellites) so your ship and crew remain safe during GPS failures.
Orbital Determination
Low Earth orbiting (LEO) satellites for internet, weather monitoring, and communications are cluttering Earth’s orbit space. Accurate orbit determination is required for collision avoidance, satellite-based research, and navigation via LEO satellite signals.
Current orbit determination relies on GPS, which can become compromised. StarNav’s system uses a satellite’s own transmitted signals for accurate orbit determination that operates completely independent of GPS.
