Critical Infrastructure

Terrestrial 3D PNT can serve as a complement and back up to GPS

Expanding
the reach of PNT services with next generation terrestrial 3D PNT powered by spectrum

Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) data powers critical infrastructure systems in telecommunications, energy, financial services, and many other industries. That same PNT data is also necessary for essential services for first responders and Enhanced 911 (E911).

Next Generation terrestrial 3D PNT powered by spectrum is designed by NextNav to complement GPS and extend the operational reach of resilient, secure, reliable PNT services.

Ensure uninterrupted operation of critical infrastructure and autonomous systems, even if GPS services are disrupted

PNT Cybersecurity

PNT Cybersecurity

The risks to modern GPS / PNT systems and the fact that these systems are increasingly software driven has led to security concerns becoming ever-more closely tied with GPS vulnerabilities. Terrestrial signals are over 100,000x stronger than GPS providing risk mitigation.

Telecom PNT Resilience and Mobile Broadband

Telecom PNT Resilience and Mobile Broadband

Telecommunications infrastructure depends on reliable PNT services to synchronize networks, improve capacity, and provide vital services to public safety and 911. Terrestrial 3D PNT can add a layer of resilience to GPS, and added capacity for mobile broadband services.

Timing Synchronization

Timing Synchronization

Synchronizing the electrical grid requires precise timing and phases to ensure uninterrupted, resilient service. Terrestrial 3D PNT can allow for precise timing at the nanosecond level.

PNT for Data Centers

PNT for Data Centers

TerraPoiNT penetrates indoors and in urban locations where GPS signals are unavailable or degraded. This allows TerraPoiNT to meet the timing needs of complex data centers without the need for installation of additional cabling.

Security for Urban Automation

Security for Urban Automation

Autonomous vehicles and drones rely on seamless, highly available PNT for 3D positioning and navigation. Terrestrial 3D PNT provides a resilient and secure layer for PNT services which covers entire metropolitan areas.

Indoor Inventory Management

Indoor Inventory Management

Automated asset tracking systems allow warehouse managers to efficiently manage inventory at scale with IoT devices. Terrestrial 3D PNT can power inventory management operations with precise 3D geolocation data available indoors.

Enhancing Safety Applications

Enhancing Safety Applications

Industrial safety often requires detailed tracking of “lone workers” in multiple dimensions and indoor locations. Terrestrial 3D PNT can extend the reach of location-based applications without the need for investment in site-specific infrastructure.
