u-blox Holding AG Explores How Celeste LEO PNT Complements GNSS for the Mass Market u-blox Holding AGwas exploring how the introduction of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) signals can complement and integrate with existing Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to support mass-market positioning solutions. The announcement comes following the launch of the European Space Agency’s (ESA) first Celeste LEO-PNT demonstration satellites (IOD-1 and IOD-2) on 28 March 2026, marking a key milestone in bringing LEO-based signals into the operational positioning environment and ESA’s first step toward extending satellite navigation into low Earth orbit. As the positioning ecosystem evolves, LEO-based signals are emerging as a complementary layer to established GNSS. Designed to augment systems such as Galileo, LEO satellites introduce a new building block characterized by lower orbital altitude, increased signal strength, and rapidly changing satellite geometry. GNSS remains the foundation of global positioning, delivering proven coverage and consistency at scale. This evolution is not only about additional signals, but about how positioning systems behave over time. The dynamic geometry of LEO satellites introduces new system characteristics that influence convergence speed, robustness, and performance in challenging signal conditions. Under its Navigation Innovation and Support Program (NAVISP) Element 2 (EL2) project, co-funded by ESA, u-blox is conducting a technical assessment of the role of LEO signals in multi-layer positioning architectures. This work forms part of a broader effort to bring LEO-PNT capabilities to mass-market GNSS receivers, combining emerging LEO signals with established GNSS systems. This includes early integration work on u-blox’s X20 GNSS platform, exploring how different signal types and frequency bands can be optimally incorporated into u-blox’s positioning systems. The scope of work includes: Observation and characterization of emerging LEO signal transmissions; Analysis of interactions between LEO signals and GNSS measurements; Evaluation of the impact of dynamic satellite geometry on positioning performance; Exploring different system-level approaches for integrating LEO signals into future platforms. u-blox expects to contribute to the development of the new LEO satellite ecosystem with significant innovation in the positioning solution, collaborating with key partners like ESA. 공시 • Mar 20
U-Blox Ag Launches Jody-W6 Secure Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E Module for Industrial Iot U-Blox AG announced the launch of the JODY-W6, the latest addition to its JODY family of modules. Based on the NXP Semiconductors IW623 chipset, the JODY-W6 combines tri-band Wi-Fi 6E (2.4 /5 /6 GHz) with 2×2 MIMO and Bluetooth Dual-Mode including LE Audio and qualified against Bluetooth Core 5.4. This integration delivers higher throughput, better network availability, and an improved audio experience while addressing the industry’s growing need for secure, professional-grade wireless connectivity in industrial and IoT applications. The introduction of Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth LE Audio comes at a critical time, as industries face increasing spectrum congestion, demand for richer user experiences, and the need to comply with emerging cybersecurity regulations. JODY-W6 is built on the NXP IW623 chipset and supports tri-band Wi-Fi 6E with 2×2 MIMO: Featuring Bluetooth Dual-Mode including LE Audio, JODY-W6 is qualified against Bluetooth Core 5.4. With a compact footprint and pin compatibility with the JODY module family, the new host-based multiradio module facilitates seamless migration across technology generations, offering simplicity, flexibility and cost savings in design. JODY-W6 provides a professional-grade solution designed to withstand harsh operating environments (-40 °C to +85 °C) while bringing enhanced security features, including NXP EdgeLock and secure boot on chip, to address growing cybersecurity requirements across industrial IoT deployments. The JODY-W6 is well suited for industrial automation, healthcare, network infrastructure, and smart building applications, as well as security and surveillance systems that demand secure, high-throughput, and low-latency wireless performance. Supporting SDIO or PCIe interfaces, the JODY-W6 offers flexibility for a wide range of host-based designs. The module is available in variants with two or three antenna pins, making it adaptable to diverse product requirements. Evaluation kits, including EVK-JODY-W683 and an M.2 form factor option, simplify design, testing, and integration. With the launch of the JODY-W6, U-Blox AG is expanding its portfolio of professional-grade wireless modules and integrating the latest NXP IW623 chipset and supporting Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth LE Audio. The JODY-W6 addresses critical industry challenges such as spectrum congestion, cybersecurity compliance, and demand for high-performance wireless solutions. Samples of the JODY-W6 (Industrial) will be available starting early Second Quarter 2026, with volume production planned for end of Second Quarter 2026. 공시 • Nov 28
