TerraPoiNT - Resilient Positioning System

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.

Pinnacle - Vertical Positioning System

NextNav's Pinnacle system redefines the typical approach to geolocation by providing highly accurate vertical positioning. This capability adds an essential 'z-axis' dimension to traditional latitude and longitude data, allowing users to precisely determine altitude to within less than 3 meters. Suitable for various applications, Pinnacle utilizes barometric pressure sensors, already embedded in most modern devices, to deliver altitude information that surpasses FCC requirements for accuracy. Deployed via a dedicated and managed network, Pinnacle covers entire metropolitan areas with consistency, ensuring extensive usability across urban spaces. This technology is not only designed to function with existing infrastructure but can efficiently integrate into any application through NextNav's user-friendly SDKs and APIs. The system's altitude stations create a detailed environmental model, facilitating precise vertical mapping that enhances operational efficiency for entities such as emergency services and commercial logistics. Moreover, the Pinnacle system brings the agility of metro-wide coverage without necessitating new building-specific infrastructure. The network is maintained solely by NextNav, offering reliable service that developers can trial readily through accessible development keys. NextNav also commits to enhancing the industry’s barometric sensors through its Pinnacle Certified program, demonstrating a dual commitment to technological advancement and operational effectiveness.
