Newo builds an artificial-intelligence platform that creates human-sounding voice and text agents capable of answering, routing, and resolving customer inquiries across channels such as phone calls, SMS, web chat, and WhatsApp. Tailored for managed service providers, VoIP providers, software companies, and agencies serving small-to-medium businesses, the system is designed for production-grade use rather than experimentation. Partners can white-label and customize agents to engage SMB customers in sectors from dental practices and restaurants to home delivery and cleaning services. More than 15,000 AI agents have already been created on the platform, demonstrating early traction.

Xona is developing Pulsar, a Low Earth Orbit PNT constellation designed to provide centimeter-level positioning, stronger signals, and military-grade encryption while remaining compatible with existing GPS devices. The company plans a full constellation of 258 satellites and says its satellites fly closer to Earth and broadcast signals that are substantially stronger than legacy GNSS systems. Xona reports over a dozen commercial receiver partners already tracking Pulsar signals, with field testing underway across critical infrastructure, construction, agriculture, and IoT applications. Early customers in timing-critical sectors are expected to benefit from initial constellation coverage as soon as 2027. To support rapid deployment, Xona is building a manufacturing facility in Burlingame and expanding operations in Montreal and London, aiming to produce satellites at a cadence the company says will outpace traditional national production rates.
