Orolia, the worldwide leader in Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) solutions, has formed a strategic alliance, including an equity investment, with Satelles Inc to develop, market and sell PNT solutions based on Satelles? Satellite Time and Location (STL) signal technology. STL is a unique space-based PNT technology that provides location and timing data independent from traditional GPS and other GNSS satellite signals. By using STL, Orolia?s Spectracom and McMurdo branded solutions will be less susceptible to vulnerabilities ? spoofing, interference and jamming ? associated with GPS/GNSS.

Many highly sensitive military, defence, government and commercial applications and operations including maritime/aviation, fleet/asset tracking management, search and rescue and data center management require accurate and reliable PNT data. Today, these applications rely on signals from GPS/GNSS satellites SBAS/GAGAN or Regional Satellite Navigation Systems such as the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite system (IRNSS). There are instances, however where GPS/GNSS/IRNSS signal strength and security are not sufficient and prone to signal disruption. For these cases, STL can be used as a secure signal of opportunity to complement GPS/GNSS making the application more accurate and secure and less prone to interference attack.
