Iridium Unveils PNT ASIC for Global GPS Protection

Innovation, , , , , , , ,

This new chip is intended to offer comprehensive protection against the rising threat of jamming and spoofing of traditional Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as GPS, which has led to high-profile disruptions and significant economic risk.
