Westminster-based Trimble Inc. (Nasdaq: TRMB) and Xona Space Systems are partnering to integrate Trimble correction services with Xona’s PULSAR high-performance navigation service. The initial satellite launches are expected in late 2026, with services beginning in 2027 through the PULSAR satellite network.
The collaboration aims to deliver reliable, high-precision positioning for various applications, including geospatial, low-power mass mobile and IoT. Burlingame, Calif.-based Xona has received an investment from Trimble Ventures to support this initiative. The PULSAR service will utilize a network of small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) to provide secure positioning and navigation services directly to existing GNSS hardware.
The integration with Trimble correction services is designed to enhance the reliability of navigation solutions, particularly in areas with limited cell coverage or challenging geographies. Xona’s co-founder and CEO, Brian Manning, highlighted the significance of this partnership, stating, “Trimble’s experience and track record in high-integrity precision navigation is world class. We are thrilled to work towards combining the knowledge and capabilities of Trimble and Xona, to deliver unmatched performance to customers in the future through our PULSAR next-gen position, navigation, and timing (PNT) service.”
