Through this acquisition, Orolia will significantly enhance Assured PNT capabilities across the global company’s portfolio to support mission-critical applications.

Talen-X have extensive technology integration and world-class PNT engineering resources that will enable Orolia to rapidly develop and offer new, superior products and services to the U.S. market.
“Our culture of innovation, together with our demonstrated testing capabilities, will complement Orolia’s global technology expertise and significantly enhance the reliability, performance and safety of military operations,” said Tim Erbes, CTO of Talen-X.
