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.
Steve Poizner is a serial Silicon Valley entrepreneur who sold GPS-in-cell-phones pioneer SnapTrack to Qualcomm for $1 billion, served as California Insurance Commissioner, ran for governor, taught high school for a year, wrote a New York Times bestseller, and is now back in the lab as Co-Founder and CEO of oneNav - building the world's first L5-direct GNSS receiver ASIC to make GPS jamming-proof for drones, autonomous vehicles, and defense applications.
