PNT Pulse
Monthly PNT Industry Observation
A monthly read on where positioning, navigation & timing is actually heading — turning the month's GNSS / PNT & Earth-Observation news into "so what" insight, anchored to the EUSPA market framework and written in plain English. Three standing highlights: Automotive & AI navigation, Space (LEO-PNT) & Defense PNT, and a rotating roundup of everything else.
PNT Pulse — July 2026: The Rocket Company That Bought Its Own Satnav
A launch company agreed to buy the only commercial LEO-PNT service in orbit for about $8 billion, NIO synced a driver-assist update across two rival chip platforms, and GPS jamming kept scrambling ships in the Strait of Hormuz. A monthly read on where positioning, navigation & timing is actually heading.
PNT Pulse — May 2026: LEO Stops Asking for Directions
The month LEO-PNT stopped being GPS's customer and started being its rival: ESA's Celeste sang from orbit, Xona banked a $170M Series C, and u-blox began wiring LEO signals into mass-market chips. A monthly read on where positioning, navigation & timing is actually heading.
PNT Pulse — May 2026: The Constellation Is Done, the Argument Isn't
GPS III flew its final satellite and the Space Force called the constellation complete — right as Congress fought to revive the resilience plan it just defunded. Plus Mobileye's robotaxi push, u-blox's new automotive brains, and ICEYE's radar land-grab. A monthly read on where positioning, navigation & timing is actually heading.
