u-blox Divests Dual Mode Cellular-Satellite Communications Business to Trident IoT
Thalwil, Switzerland – 7 April 2025 – u-blox (SIX:UBXN), a global leader in positioning and short-range communication technologies for automotive, industrial, and consumer markets, has divested its dual mode cellular-satellite communications business — along with a core development team — to Trident IoT, Inc., California, for an undisclosed amount.

This move aligns with our strategic focus on our Locate business.”
