Great discussion on all the technology innovations for public safety. We @NextNav honored to be part of the ecosystem by working toward a 5G 3D technology to provide #GPS resiliency. @FCC @BrendanCarrFCC @Research_USDOT @IAFFofficial

Deepak Joseph, NextNav’s VP of Product Management, explores the opportunities that 5G-powered 3D PNT unlocks across AI, public safety, transportation, critical infrastructure, and more. "Mobile network operators have spent billions building 5G networks. The return on that investment requires more than a connectivity business model. PNT is the platform that moves operators from connectivity providers to mission-critical infrastructure partners." Read the full article here: hubs.la/Q04h_Tq60 #PNT #5G #3D #NextNav

Great night to celebrate 30 years of Alpine Group. We at @NextNav value their partnership. @rshawreds

.@skynews reports 1M+ jamming incidents have been recorded since the beginning of the Iran conflict. @RUSI_or Dr. Thomas Withington: Iran has “mastered” #GPS disruption. The lack of a GPS complement and backup is one of the biggest US national security risks. news.sky.com/story/everyone…

NextNav's first-ever wireless indoor timing solution delivers 20 nanosecond timing accuracy in real-world field testing, exceeding critical infrastructure timing requirements by 5x Read the latest on our 5G PNT Network in Santa Clara County, CA: nextnav.com/demonstrates-f…

NextNav announced today that we have joined the OCUDU Ecosystem Foundation, a collaborative initiative hosted by the @linuxfoundation to advance open, secure, and interoperable Open RAN centralized unit and distributed unit (CU/DU) implementations.

Our engineer put recent claims about RFID interference to the test. Using the company’s 5G PNT Network and a standard RFID reader with multiple RFID tags, the team demonstrated that these systems can coexist. See for yourself:

.@GPSWireless recently covered NextNav’s RFID coexistence demonstration with our 5G-powered 3D PNT network in the lower 900 MHz band. The piece also highlights the growing focus on resilient PNT and U.S. drone dominance initiatives. Read more: locationbusinessnews.com/nextnav-demons…

Drone incursions expose serious gaps in America’s low-altitude airspace awareness. In a new @FCC filing, we explain how modernizing the Lower 900 MHz band could unlock wide-area drone and counter-drone monitoring using the same 5G signals that enable accurate PNT. nextnav.com/comments-fcc-d…

@CNN reports that pilots and aviation experts are noting an increase in cockpit warnings alerting danger from false #GPS signals, impacting commercial airplanes. Without a modern #3D #PNT solution, pilots will remain subject to spoofing and jamming. cnn.com/2026/04/28/sci…

Earlier this week @Edmortimer1 joined @BroadbandCensus for a live discussion on “Indoor Location Gaps and FirstNet Reauthorization in Public Safety.” The conversation reinforced a critical shift: solving indoor location isn't a technology challenge, it’s a coordination challenge across policy, infrastructure, and implementation.

⏱️ Reminder: NextNav's @Edmortimer1 goes live in one hour, joining @BroadbandCensus to discuss the evolving role of broadband in public safety and emergency response. Tune in at 12 PM ET: broadbandbreakfast.com/broadband-brea…

Great to engage and learn from PNT leaders at @USDOT

Look forward to participating in this important discussion. Tune in to learn about our efforts to provide a 5G complement to GPS.

Panelist Spotlight: Ed Mortimer Edward Mortimer is Vice President of Government Affairs at @NextNav, where he leads engagement with government officials, agencies, and industry associations on positioning, navigation, and timing technologies. With more than 30 years of experience at the intersection of the public and private sectors, he focuses on educating policymakers about resilient PNT systems using 5G broadband spectrum as a terrestrial complement and backup to GPS. Ed joins Broadband Breakfast Live Online on Wednesday to discuss the evolving role of broadband in public safety and emergency response. 📅 Wed. Apr. 22 | 12 Noon ET

Look forward to engaging with @IAFFofficial and other public safety leaders to provide indoor location 3D solution that will improve safety and save lives. #PNT #GPS @NextNav @FCC

As 2025 comes to a close, one thing is clear: GPS resiliency can’t wait. Here’s a look back at a year of progress and the momentum carrying us into 2026. 🔗 nextnav.com/year-of-progre… #NextNav #PNT #GPS #PublicSafety #NationalSecurity #HappyNewYear

2025 was a pivotal year for PNT resiliency. Across public safety, national security, and critical infrastructure, the conversation shifted from why resilient PNT is needed to how quickly it must be delivered. This year, NextNav worked alongside first responders, policymakers, and industry partners to help turn urgency into action.
