🛰️ LEO PNT – reality or hype? With the rise of LEO satellite constellations, many are wondering if they could transform positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) or if it's just a hype. Can these smaller, closer satellites overcome the limitations of current MEO GNSS systems? In this article, we explore the exciting opportunities and significant challenges that LEO PNT presents. From potentially higher signal power and better accuracy to improved resilience against jamming and spoofing, LEO satellites have the potential to make a significant impact. However, these benefits come with complexities in design, signal processing, and implementation. Dive into our comprehensive analysis to discover if LEO constellations could complement or even replace conventional MEO GNSS.

At u-blox, we are incredibly proud that our technology contributes to sustainability and the conservation of endangered species! 🌍 Through organizations like Wildlife ACT Innovations, our cloud-based positioning technology is being used to track and monitor species such as lions, cheetahs, wild dogs, pangolins, and rhinos across Africa. 🦁🦏 For example, tracking pangolins—a species heavily trafficked and at risk of extinction—requires a solution that is both discreet and efficient. Our technology supports regular monitoring without causing stress to the animals or draining battery life, which is essential for species that spend much of their lives in remote, underground habitats. 📊 Combining CloudLocate and M10 GNSS modules, our solution delivers precise, non-invasive tracking that allows conservationists to collect valuable data on animal movements, behavior, and health. This data is critical for preventing genetic contamination, monitoring endangered species, and reducing human-wildlife conflict.

In our modern world, the smooth operation of essential services—such as energy, water, and transportation—is critical. However, these systems are vulnerable to physical attacks. MoxyByte, operating in Germany and Austria, has developed an innovative solution to protect critical infrastructure: the Secure Ultra Low Power IoT device (SULPI). 🛡️ 💡 SULPI is designed to secure access points to critical infrastructure such as fiber optic cables, gas pipelines, and water supply lines. It integrates with cloud-based control centers to trigger real-time alerts when unauthorized access is detected at hatches and cabinets. Our SARA-R5 series modules support SULPI by ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments, ultra-low power consumption, and timely dispatch of alerts to prevent potential threats. This collaboration raises the standard for infrastructure security, demonstrating how innovation and reliability can seamlessly work together.
