Partnership Announced Between etherWhere and Xona Space Systems
Will Develop Low Power PULSAR + GNSS Receiver
A low power PULSAR + GNSS receiver will be developed under a partnership agreement recently announced between etherWhere and Xona Space Systems. The etherWhere’s PULSAR + dual-band GNSS receiver will be a one chip, low power receiver that integrates all four GNSS constellations while receiving and processing the Xona PULSAR signal simultaneously, and be capable of tracking Xona’s high-performance, multi-frequency PULSAR signals. The single chip solution with single digit mW power consumption is intended to further enable IoT, asset tracking, mobile, precise timing, and secure geolocation applications.
"Integrating Xona PULSAR into our new products will empower users with PNT performance in the smallest form factor and lowest cost they’ve never witnessed before.”

etherWhere’s Hybrid Constellation solution, a mix of traditional GNSS receivers and LEO satellite receivers, integrated onto a single low power silicon, is the most comprehensive offering for applications requiring low power, redundancy, and security with anti-jamming and anti-spoofing technology. etherWhere’s next generation small form factor GNSS products are adding support for Xona PULSAR signals.
"Integrating Xona PULSAR into our new products will empower users with PNT performance in the smallest form factor and lowest cost they’ve never witnessed before,” said Michael Raam, etherWhere CEO.
Xona Space Systems is developing PULSAR, a next-generation position, navigation, and timing (PNT) service to address growing user demands for higher performance from satellite navigation technologies. PULSAR is provided by a constellation of small but powerful low Earth orbit satellites 20 times closer to Earth than existing GPS. This novel and patented architecture enables unprecedented benefits including enhanced multipath mitigation and higher accuracy, as well as stronger interference and spoofing protection. PULSAR can be easily integrated into a variety of solutions, including traditional GNSS receivers, to reduce customer engineering investment and enable quick time to market.
“etherWhere is on the cutting edge of developing high-performance PNT user equipment at very low power – Xona PULSAR will elevate the performance of their receivers to deliver even more value to their customers.” said Bryan Chan, VP of Business Development and Strategy.
