Locus Lock Plans October Leo200 Evaluation Kit After Funding Round

Westminster-based Locus Lock plans to introduce its Leo200 software-defined satellite-navigation receiver platform in October 2026, initially through an evaluation kit for engineers. The product timetable accompanied a strategic funding round led by Range Ventures, the company announced September 24.

For teams considering the technology for their own equipment, the planned kit offers a way to evaluate Leo200 before deciding whether to integrate it. Locus Lock has not specified an October launch day, a kit price or a date for broader availability. The kit is a forthcoming evaluation offer, not a product the announcement says has already shipped.

Funding for the next product step

Locus Lock says its existing positioning technology is being integrated across air, ground, maritime and space platforms. Leo200 would give engineers a named receiver platform to assess for their own systems. Those existing integration efforts should not be confused with deployments of the still-planned evaluation kit.

The company says it intends to use the new funding to support customer-program deployments, develop its positioning technology and Leo200, and grow its engineering team. In-Q-Tel was among the named investors. Locus Lock did not disclose the amount raised or a hiring count, so the announcement establishes the company’s plans for the financing rather than a dollar figure for product development or jobs.

The next concrete product milestone is the planned October evaluation-kit introduction. That is when prospective users should get a clearer view of how they can assess Leo200 for their systems.
