The most common navigational signals used today are \u201cL1+L5\u201d hybrid signals, which must first acquire L1 signals before transitioning to L5 tracking.<\/p>\n<p>oneNav said its Pure L5 solution both acquires and tracks on the new L5 signals, which eliminates the need for L1 circuitry and cuts the size of necessary GNSS Radio Frequency (RF) hardware in half. The solution utilizes AI and machine learning to increase accuracy in challenging, dense urban \u201ccanyons\u201d \u2014 the spaces between large urban structures. This would optimize Pure L5 for applications requiring high precision in dense environments such as rideshare services, emergency response, and asset tracking.<\/p>\n<p>The startup made two other announcements alongside the release of Pure L5. First, it announced that it closed a $21 million Series B funding round, led by <strong>GV<\/strong>, with participation from <strong>Norwest Venture Partners<\/strong> and <strong>GSR Ventures<\/strong>. The Series B brings oneNav\u2019s total funding to $33 million. Second, it signed a strategic partnership agreement with Arlington-based venture capital firm<strong> In-Q-Tel<\/strong>, which will help oneNav provide the Pure L5 solution to U.S. intelligence and defense agencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mobile device industry \u2014 from phones to wearables \u2014 has made tremendous progress over the last 20 years,\u201d stated Karim Faris, general partner of oneNav investor GV. \u201cWhat\u2019s surprising is that location-based services continue to have a significant margin of error, which can make all the difference when locating a rideshare passenger or pinpointing an emergency situation.
