# oneNav, Inc.

> oneNav is a Silicon Valley semiconductor startup building the world's first L5-direct GNSS receiver - a chip architecture that skips the aging GPS L1 band entirely and uses the modern L5 satellite signal to deliver positioning that is more accurate, lower-power, and far harder to jam or spoof. Founded in 2019 by Steve Poizner and Dr. Paul McBurney, the company sells IP cores and ASICs to smartphone, wearable, IoT and defense customers.

- **Founded:** 2019
- **Headquarters:** Sunnyvale, California, United States
- **Founders:** Steve Poizner (Co-Founder & CEO), Paul McBurney (Co-Founder & CTO)
- **Team size:** ~37-45 employees
- **Products:** pureL5 Digital IP Core, L5-direct ASIC, L5-direct-PNT, L5-direct-SN, pARC GNSS Augmentation
- **Notable:** Unveiled the world's first L5-direct mobile GNSS receiver (2021)., Announced the world's first single-frequency pureL5 GNSS digital IP core., Brought up the world's first L5-direct GNSS receiver ASIC on GF 22FDX (2025).

## Products & services

- **pureL5 Digital IP Core** — A single-frequency L5 GNSS receiver IP core licensable to chipmakers. At a 3nm node it occupies roughly 0.28 mm² and consumes about 4.7 mW in 1Hz tracking mode.
- **L5-direct ASIC** — The world's first L5-direct GNSS receiver chip, fabricated on the GlobalFoundries 22FDX platform. Acquires and tracks L5-band signals from GPS, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS without the L1 signal.
- **L5-direct-PNT** — Positioning, Navigation and Timing module aimed at defense and critical-infrastructure customers operating in jammed or spoofed environments.
- **L5-direct-SN** — Real-time satellite monitoring and signal integrity product for network operators and non-terrestrial network (NTN) deployments.
- **pARC GNSS Augmentation** — A precision augmentation product launched alongside the Series C round, improving accuracy for mass-market and automotive use.
