New low-Earth navigation satellites can provide up to 100 times more signal strength than GPS and other global navigation systems operating from higher altitudes – enabling more accurate positioning in dense cities, under dense foliage, and even indoors. Such signals can be difficult to disrupt in the face of commercial airlines, shipping, and various smartphone applications. increased interference from GPS recording.
This vision can begin to materialize when the first six satellites of Xona Space Systems of California are scheduled to be launched in October 2026, with the first service starting in 2027. When the entire constellation of 258 Pulsar satellites will be launched in the following years, Xona says that customers will be able to accurately point their position anywhere in the world.
“This extra power means we can go into places that GPS can’t reach today,” Adrien Perkinsco-founder and VP of engineering at Xona Space Systems, told Ars. “Our advanced capabilities allow you to get into more difficult areas than you could with GPS alone.”
