At NextNav, we’ve spent years developing breakthrough technologies that solve for the challenges presented by GPS. We know that the services NextNav enables – from providing floor-level accuracy for E911 calls with Pinnacle or resilient PNT with TerraPoiNT – are all because of our technology, which is covered by several patents.

NextNav products and categories of products may be covered by one or more patents in the U.S. and internationally, as is indicated below. This website page is provided to satisfy the virtual patent marking provisions of various jurisdictions, in particular it is intended to serve as notice under 35 U.S.C. § 287(a). Items listed below may be sold individually or as part of a combination product. Additional patents are pending and issued in the U.S. and internationally.
