   "Access to improved navigation and time is paramount to the modernization and automation of several industries, including agriculture, natural resource management (mining), and transportation. This project focusses on development of Xona-enabled user equipment (receiver) technology for use within heavy industry applications, in particular precision agriculture and mining. This includes field-testing of the signals and hardware, testing of live satellite transmissions, and development of an in-house Xona PULSAR receiver. The in-house receiver will serve as a baseline to showcase various features",
   "The project will demonstrate the benefits enabled by a new generation of commercial position, navigation, and timing (PNT) satellites developed by Xona Space Systems. Ionospheric space weather, especially in the Canadian Arctic, can produce severe degradation of navigation and communications capability over land, sea and air. Xona’s powerful signals coupled with large satellite constellation size will produce an unprecedented quantity of high-quality radionavigation data that can be exploited in the domains of remote sensing and Earth Observation. By incorporating ionospheric data extracted fr",
   "This project is to create a Services Operation for space-based Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) service in Canada. It explores the development of data and other services deployed on cloud infrastructure to interface with customers both via internet and satellite connection.",
   "Xona Space Systems is building satellite navigation infrastructure in low Earth orbit (LEO) to deliver high performance Position, Navigation, and Time (PNT) services to industries who have critical reliance. This feasibility study examines space segment architectures for deployment, manufacturing, and performance for delivering these PNT and related services.",
   "The project aims to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the technical and economic aspects of manufacturing satellite subsystems, entire satellite buses, and a comparison of options for Xona’s PULSAR constellation in a local context to Montréal/Canada."
