TerraPoiNT from NextNav represents a groundbreaking advance in Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) systems by providing a resilient alternative to GPS. This system is particularly designed to function in environments where GPS is traditionally weak, such as indoors or urban areas. It delivers secure, fully encrypted signals resistant to spoofing and jamming. By relying on a network of terrestrial transmitters rather than satellite data alone, TerraPoiNT offers significantly stronger signal strength, providing a critical PNT solution capable of ensuring uninterrupted operational capability.
NextNav’s TerraPoiNT system is built on an extensive network of low-cost broadcast beacons and integrates seamlessly with existing GPS/GNSS technologies for improved navigation accuracy. The system utilizes a frequency-flexible waveform and operates independently from communication networks, guaranteeing its independence and resilience. Moreover, the solution incorporates components like Timing as a Service (TaaS), vital for maintaining synchronized systems across industries requiring precise timing.
The network is engineered to support various industry standards and has demonstrated superior performance metrics according to evaluations by the Department of Transportation. TerraPoiNT also includes cybersecurity measures to detect and mitigate GPS interference, making it a vital component for infrastructure protection. Its utility is further amplified by partnerships with major integrated circuit manufacturers, enhancing the applicability of NextNav’s technological innovations across industries like telecommunications and critical infrastructure.
