U-blox explores how Celeste LEO PNT complements GNSS for mass market

u-blox Explores LEO-PNT Integration Following ESA Celeste Satellite Launch - Inside GNSS - Global Navigation Satellite Systems Engineering, Policy, and Design

The launch of ESA’s first Celeste LEO-PNT demonstration satellites has prompted u-blox to announce it is actively assessing how Low Earth Orbit signals can complement GNSS in mass-market positioning architectures. ESA launched the first two Celeste in-orbit demonstration satellites — IOD-1 and IOD-2 — on March 28, marking the agency’s first step toward extending satellite navigation into low Earth orbit. u-blox, working under ESA’s Navigation In…

U-blox explores how Celeste LEO PNT complements GNSS for mass market

Low-Earth-orbit signals add increased signal strength, geometry diversity and robustness to GNSS. U-blox, a global leader in positioning and short-range communication technologies for automotive, industrial and consumer markets, is exploring how the introduction of low-Earth-orbit (LEO) signals can complement and integrate with existing GNSS to support mass-market positioning solutions. The announcement comes following the launch of the European…
