Open Bosch Award:
The Open Bosch Award values the importance of open innovation through close collaboration between several hundred startup partnerships and Bosch, and in 2020 recognized NextNav’s collaboration with Bosch Sensortec. NextNav’s collaboration with Bosch has resulted in an innovative solution: a platform that localizes smartphones vertically and indoors by applying barometric pressure sensors in the phones and NextNav’s MBS (Metropolitan Beacon System) technology.
