Septentrio extends its boxed receiver range with AsteRx EB

Septentrio announces a new enclosed multi-frequency GNSS receiver: AsteRx EB. Its IP67 enclosure protects the receiver from harsh weather conditions, while built-in advanced GNSS+ algorithms ensure reliable operation in environments that are challenging for GNSS, such as areas with foliage or near GNSS interference sources. The RAIM+ integrity monitoring system ensures truthful positioning, which is essential for autonomous navigation. www.septentrio.com

Infleqtion delivers quantum precision timing

Infleqtion has announced availability of the first quantum-enabled precision timing solution delivered as part of the company’s partnership with Safran Electronics & Defense. The new solution includes Infleqtion’s Tiqker™ quantum optical clock, which has been integrated and validated with Safran’s White Rabbit and SecureSync® systems. Modern systems depend on technologies such as GPS or GNSS for precise timing, but these are vulnerable to jamming, spoofing, and natural disruption. As threats to traditional timing infrastructure grow, the need for resilient, independent alternatives has become critical. infleqtion.com

Net Insight leads development of next-generation PNT technology

Net Insight has been awarded a development project through the European Space Agency’s Navigation Innovation and Support Program (NAVISP), a European program designed to foster innovation in the PNT domain and strengthen Europe’s technological competitiveness. This project is supported by co-funding from the Swedish National Space Agency, aimed at accelerating the development of robust Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) technology, to address growing societal needs and increasing risks to critical infrastructure. Through collaboration with the Swedish National Space Agency and ESA’s NAVISP program, the project gains access to both national and European funding and support for research and development in PNT technology. At the same time, it enables national initiatives to be aligned with broader European strategies for robust and operationally reliable PNT architectures. NAVISP is designed to stimulate new technologies and applications beyond traditional GNSS- based systems and plays a key role in Europe’s efforts to ensure robust and competitive PNT solutions. www.netinsight.net
