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.

u-blox IoT gateway module enables Industrial IoT

u-blox a global leader in wireless and positioning modules and chips, announced its technology is powering a new smart factory solution from Industrial IoT leader HMS Industrial Networks. The Anybus Wireless Bolt uses the u-blox ODIN-W2 Bluetooth + Wi-Fi IoT gateway module to provide easy-to-use and robust wireless connectivity for industrial environments.
The Anybus Wireless Bolt is a simple to install, rugged IP67 wireless
module which connects industrial equipment to the cloud. It mounts onto existing industrial equipment, similar to a mechanical bolt and features an 18-pin internal connector compatible with industry standard protocols operating over serial, CAN, or Ethernet interfaces. Via its wireless
