Building the future of geolocation
We started NextNav with an audacious goal: build the future of geolocation.
The country’s principal positioning, navigation, & timing (PNT) system, GPS, is foundational to national security and the US economy (and powering critical infrastructure), but coverage is limited indoors and in urban canyons, and GPS is vulnerable to jamming and spoofing.
In a recent FCC filing, NextNav proposed rearranging the Lower 900 MHz band to enable its use for terrestrial positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services, as well as mobile broadband.
A terrestrial 3D PNT complement and back up to GPS, will mitigate the risks to the country, help public safety by providing location information and situational awareness indoors and in multi-story buildings, and unleash commercial opportunities.
