Iridium to ship PNT ASIC chip next year to protect mass‑market devices from GNSS jamming and spoofing

Iridium plans to release next year a tiny PNT ASIC microchip that embeds complementary Positioning, Navigation and Timing protections into mass‑market devices to guard against GNSS jamming, spoofing and time disruptions. The product reinforces the L‑band operator’s core strengths as SpaceX’s Starlink pushes into adjacent direct‑to‑device services.

U.S. to expand facial‑recognition to photograph all non‑citizens exiting airports, seaports and land borders A new federal rule will authorize U.S. authorities to capture facial‑recognition images of all non‑citizens exiting the country through airports, seaports and land crossings. The policy expands biometric collection at ports of entry and obliges operators to integrate exit‑photo processes into existing passenger and border workflows.
