Our Vision.
To deliver universal positioning
and navigation capabilities
to billions of devices,
from everyday smartphones
to highly complex navigation systems.
M-GPS® technology provides secure, robust, and accurate navigation in all environments (indoor/outdoor, land/sea/air). M-GPS® acts as a standalone localization system, but also is a natural complement to existing solutions like legacy GPS, and any other sources of navigational data.
M-GPS® doesn’t need to connect to any type of network including cellular, BLE or Wi-Fi, conserving battery power and ensuring high device security.

"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.”
