October 7, 2025 | SeptentrioEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Septentrio, part of Hexagon, a leader in high-precision GNSS technology, and Xona Space Systems, pioneer in low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite navigation, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to deepen their collaboration on next-generation positioning and timing solutions.
This agreement builds on Xona's recent successful launch of Pulsar-0, its first production class LEO PNT satellite. Within days of launch, Septentrio began tracking and analyzing Pulsar signals, an early milestone toward unlocking the service’s full potential.
Together, the companies will continue joint testing and validation to prove Pulsar’s full capabilities, including:
- Native centimeter-level accuracy
- 100x stronger signal strength that reaches indoors and under dense foliage
- Robust protection against jamming and spoofing
Through this partnership, Septentrio and Xona will advance receiver development, evaluate real-world performance, and explore commercial opportunities across diverse set of industrial and defense applications. Potential use cases span drones and autonomous vehicles, precision agriculture, construction and mining, robotics, timing and critical infrastructure.
Jan Van Hees, VP Business Development Septentrio and Brian Manning, CEO Xona Space shake hands after signing MOU.
This collaboration marks a significant step toward addressing the growing demand for robust, high-precision navigation in challenging environments. The MOU underscores a shared vision of both companies to advance satellite-based navigation technology and unlock the potential of hybrid GNSS-LEO solutions.
