If you were to fall asleep for years, when you woke up what would your first questions be?
They would probably be "where am I" and "what time is it?"
Location and time are the fundamental building blocks of the connected world. Every day when any piece of technology turns on, it has to answer the same questions of "when" and "where". For years we have looked to GPS for this information. However technology has been lurching forward in recent years and now needs far more precision and and protection to operate safely than GPS alone can provide.
At Xona, we believe that modern technologies such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, AI, and aerial mobility have the potential to drastically improve the quality of human life. These technologies have made massive strides in recent years and in structured environments have proven their utility. Unstructured environments without modern infrastructure still pose a major challenge to scaling beyond limited areas.
The superpower of space is scalability. We believe that space holds the key to unlock the true potential of these technologies by turning the entire world into a structured environment, and bringing the benefits of these technologies to where they are arguably needed the most.
Imagine a world where robotic farming can reduce hunger in developing countries, or self-driving cars operate safer than human drivers in the middle of a snow storm, or dangerous mining jobs can be replaced with autonomous equipment.
Our mission is simple. Maximize the impact of modern technologies.
How?
By providing the most robust and accurate navigation and timing services on the planet to tear down the boundaries that plague growth and expansion today.
