LEO PNT Satellite Signal Simulator Unveiled at JNC 2023 Conference

Spirent, a global provider of test and assurance solutions, will be demonstrating the first fully-certified Xona satellite constellation simulator, SimXona, at the 2023 Joint Navigation Conference (JNC) in San Diego. The JNC is the largest US military positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) conference, with government, defence, and industry participation. Spirent developed SimXona to generate Xona Space Systems’ low Earth orbit (LEO) small satellite signals which are the foundation of Xona PULSAR, the emergent first commercial LEO PNT service. To track the simulated signals and show a complete emulation-to-end-user experience, Spirent and Xona are collaborating with Hexagon | NovAtel, a global leader in PNT, which is developing the first Xona-enabled receivers. As part of the JNC technical programme, Spirent, Xona, and NovAtel will share initial test results on Thursday, June 15, in a joint technical presentation: “Testing of LEO PNT for Resilience in GNSS Contested Environments.” The presentation will highlight the impressive results of Xona signal resilience in the presence of RF jamming.
