Location intelligence. 

In all domains.

The AstraNav® patented M-GPS® positioning and navigation solutions are powered by software and harness the Earth’s own ambient magnetic field, so it works wherever you are.

  • "All of our PNT devices should have this software in them.”

  • "At Virginia Tech, we were able to easily integrate M-GPS with commercial off-the shelf (COTS) autonomous vehicles to achieve sub-meter accuracy positioning, even indoors. AstraNav M-GPS can achieve accurate, efficient, and resilient sub-meter positioning and has the potential to be a completely ‘plug-and-play’ technology for consumers over a wide range of applications and in all domains.”

  • “The AstraNav technology application and demo hardware worked flawlessly in sub-terrain environment scenario. On-the-fly mapping with backtrack and replay route were both demonstrated with great precision.”

  • “Since 2019, my team has independently reviewed AstraNav's M-GPS technology and the science behind it. I can confirm that it genuinely uses magnetic fields to provide stable and accurate navigation. Being independent of GPS, the technology fills the gap of other navigation approaches creating limitless opportunities for potential applications.”

Ubiquitous.

Ultra-reliable.

Software-defined.

Rapid scalability
driven by software.

M-GPS is a software platform that translates magnetic fields into navigational data — no new hardware or satellites required. And since it’s powered by Earth, it always works.

Powered by Earth.

Enabled by software.

Inspired by the principle of magnetoreception used by migratory animals, AstraNav's M-GPS technology harnesses multiple components of Earth's magnetic field as a universal source of navigational data.

M-GPS is highly stable, accurate and ubiquitous. M-GPS never loses its source of navigational data, providing an extremely reliable navigation experience for devices, vehicles and people, everywhere. M-GPS seamlessly integrates with existing navigational systems.

No Beacons.
No WiFi.
No Bluetooth.

No Problem.

M-GPS technology provides persistent location data with on-device processing and without any connectivity requirements (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, beacons, or cell service).


Works with billions of existing devices.

AstraNav's M-GPS software is designed to operate in virtually any device, including smartphones, aircraft, submarines, autonomous ground and air vehicles, shipping containers, industrial robots, and much more.

A complete solution for location intelligence.

M-GPS is a standalone positioning and navigation solution, providing 100% coverage across all domains.

It can also fuse with existing sources of positioning data (e.g., GNSS, 5G, LiDAR, BLE, radar, ADS-B, cameras) to provide an additional, independent source of navigational data without the need to replace or modify current systems.

 

M-GPS works
when all else fails.

M-GPS technology seamlessly takes over when GPS or other navigational platforms are compromised or lost.

Our technology is perpetually available, ensuring uninterrupted navigation capabilities in every situation, from the everyday to mission critical scenarios.
