SANTA ROSA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS):

What: At ION GNSS+ 2026, Keysight will demonstrate smarter ways to design, emulate, and validate Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) technologies to accelerate innovation and assure resilient systems. With Spirent now part of Keysight, the company will present its expanded expertise and capabilities across Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), alternative PNT, autonomous systems, NAVWAR, sensor fusion, and realistic field-to-lab testing.

When: September 14 - 18, 2026

Where: Keysight booth #201, Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, Orlando, FL

Info: Keysight at ION GNSS+ 2026

Keysight experts will show how intelligent insights and advanced test solutions can reduce development risk, accelerate validation, and speed time-to-market with the following demonstrations:

Building Resilient PNT with Sensor Fusion

Keysight will demonstrate how PNT X supports resilient PNT development by bringing GNSS together with inertial and other sensors, LEO PNT, and signals of opportunity in a controlled test environment. Developers can evaluate how multiple positioning and timing sources work together, then stress these layered PNT architectures under realistic contested conditions including jamming and spoofing.

Enabling System-of-Systems Testing

By synchronizing PNT X and EWASP, Keysight creates a coordinated, multi-domain RF test environment. Combining realistic GNSS/PNT signals with radar, communications signals, and dynamic EW threats, developers can evaluate system performance under complex, time-aligned conditions and validate resilient PNT behavior in increasingly representative operational scenarios.

Integrating GNSS and Non-Terrestrial Networks

This demonstration shows how PNT Xe and UXM bring GNSS and non-terrestrial network (NTN) testing together in a controlled lab environment. Developers can evaluate chipset interoperability, positioning performance, and GNSS/NTN integration to explore layered architectures that combine multiple PNT sources to accelerate development of next-generation resilient PNT solutions.

Bridging the Realism Gap from Field to Lab

SimXTRACT software showcases how engineers can overcome the problem of understanding composite GNSS signals in a real environment, and how they affect a PNT device’s performance. By decomposing captured I/Q data from record and playback systems into discrete line-of-sight signals, multipath, and precise ground truth, SimXTRACT enables the creation of a fully editable GNSS simulation scenarios that replicate the original environment in a Keysight PNT emulator.

Key Terms

gnss technical

GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite System, a network of satellites that provide precise location and timing information anywhere on Earth, like a constantly available digital map and clock. It matters to investors because many industries—transportation, agriculture, telecom, finance and defense—rely on this positioning and timing for products, services and critical infrastructure; improvements or disruptions in GNSS can change costs, create new revenue streams, or introduce operational risk.

sensor fusion technical

Sensor fusion is the process of combining data from multiple sensors—like cameras, radar, microphones, or motion detectors—to create a single, clearer picture of what’s happening in the real world. For investors, better fusion means products and systems that are safer, more reliable, or smarter (think a car using several eyes and ears to avoid collisions), which can reduce costs, speed product adoption, and improve a company’s competitive edge.

non-terrestrial networks technical

Networks that use space- or high-altitude platforms—such as satellites, balloons or high-flying drones—instead of ground-based wires and cell towers to deliver voice, data and broadcast services. Think of them as cell towers in the sky that extend coverage to ships, planes, remote regions and areas where building ground infrastructure is costly. Investors care because these networks open new markets and revenue streams but require large upfront capital, long regulatory approvals and technical risk, affecting growth potential and valuation.

i/q data technical

I/Q data are paired measurements that capture a radio or digital signal’s in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components, representing the real and imaginary parts of the waveform so complex variations in amplitude and phase can be recorded and analyzed. For investors, I/Q data matter when evaluating companies in wireless, radar, or semiconductor industries because they are the raw technical measurements used to test device performance, enable demodulation and signal processing, and demonstrate compliance with communications standards—think of them as the detailed recipe behind how reliably a device sends and receives information.
