About

Balboa Geolocation (Balboa Geo) is a software-defined, hardware-enabled company building alternative and complementary positioning, navigation, and timing (AC-PNT) technology for environments where GPS is unavailable or contested. Its POINTER platform delivers real-time, three-dimensional, centimeter-level positioning indoors, underground, and underwater. The underlying technology was developed at Caltech's NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory with R&D funding from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and DARPA, and is exclusively licensed worldwide to Balboa Geo. The company is headquartered in El Segundo, California.

Exclusive worldwide license to POINTER, a patented magnetoquasistatic positioning technology developed at NASA JPL that provides centimeter-level 3D location indoors, underground, and underwater — places where GPS and RF-based systems fail — as a dual-use platform for both defense and commercial markets.
