NanoVista

What NanoVista does

NanoVista (纳微星科（北京）科技有限公司) is a Beijing-based deep-technology company founded in March 2022 as a spin-off from Tsinghua University Electronics Engineering PNT Center, focused on securing global navigation satellite system (GNSS) spatiotemporal position information against spoofing and interference. The company develops high-trust satellite navigation technology covering anti-spoofing detection, high-precision time-frequency synchronization, high-precision positioning/orientation, and satellite navigation signal simulation. Its proprietary baseband signal processing and self-developed algorithms support simultaneous handling of 32+ spoofing interference signals with alert response within 5 seconds, spoofing source localization accuracy better than 30 meters, and timing accuracy down to ≤20ns (NV-TS200). The product portfolio spans three lines: trusted precision time-frequency synchronization (NV-NT, NV-TS, NV-GB, NV-FS, NV-MT series), navigation signal simulation (NV-CS, NV-SS, NV-NVS series), and navigation security testing (NV-SS100, NV-RPS100), with products certified to comply with Ministry of Public Security standard GA1800-2021 and electric power industry standard DL/T 1100.5.

The company's primary customers are Chinese state-owned enterprises and government entities operating critical national infrastructure: electric power grid operators (certified by China Electric Power Research Institute and State Grid Electric Power Research Institute), communications carriers (5G base station timing, vPRTC deployment, GNSS anti-spoofing protection), and military/defense organizations (missile guidance, fleet navigation, armored vehicle positioning). Secondary customer segments include commercial and industrial UAV manufacturers, autonomous vehicle OEMs (T-BOX trusted security integration and roadside trusted security solutions), financial trading networks requiring secure timing, and academic research institutions for GNSS signal simulation and testing. The company holds ISO9001 certification, National High-Tech Enterprise status, Beijing Specialized and Refined SME designation, and Zhongguancun High-Tech Enterprise certification, and has won the 2023 Satellite Navigation Positioning Science and Technology Progress Award (Special Prize) and the 2024 China General Chamber of Commerce Science and Technology Award (First Prize).

NanoVista operates a direct enterprise sales model with pre-sales engineering support, selling hardware products (timing modules, time synchronization devices, navigation signal generators, signal test equipment) and signal simulation/testing services through project-based procurement and customized solution sales — no third-party channel or distributor network is used. The company employs 11-50 people (approximately 20 R&D personnel) and operates a wholly-owned Shenzhen subsidiary established in September 2022. As of 2023, NanoVista had raised nearly 100 million RMB in cumulative equity financing across angel and angel+ rounds from investors including Qingkong Jinxin Capital Management and Everest Venture Capital, with the most recent round (Angel+) closing in 2023 to support business scaling and product development.
