TerraPoiNT - Resilient Positioning System

TerraPoiNT represents a strong leap forward in providing resilient, secure, and precise Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) solutions. Designed to supplement and strengthen existing GPS capabilities, it harnesses a terrestrial transmitter network to assure availability even where GPS fails, such as indoors or in dense urban structures. Unlike conventional GPS systems, TerraPoiNT capitalizes on a network of terrestrial transmitters that create signals significantly stronger and less susceptible to interference, thereby ensuring a stable connection for mobile devices. TerraPoiNT is also noteworthy for its security features, providing encrypted transmissions resistant to GPS spoofing and jamming, bolstered by its capability to detect such interference incidents. As a comprehensive solution allowing both position and timing services independently, TerraPoiNT uses the 920-928MHz spectrum band and supports integration for various industries, including critical infrastructure, telecom, and even defense sectors. Licensed to companies like Broadcom, it achieves a synergy with conventional GNSS technologies, enhancing service availability and resilience.

NextNav 3D - 3D Location Visualization

NextNav 3D offers an innovative tool for visualizing real-time 3D locations by complementing existing 9-1-1 and Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems. It utilizes z-axis data to identify the specific height at which a caller or responder is located, whether on the ground floor or higher levels, thus greatly enhancing situational awareness. The SDK provided by NextNav 3D simplifies the implementation process into existing applications, allowing public safety agencies to leverage indoor multi-story awareness through 3D maps and wireframe building data. This capacity means that command centers and telecommunicators can visually monitor caller positions in three dimensions, extremely useful in dense urban environments where vertical accuracy is essential. Additionally, the solution operates in a budget-friendly manner as a service model rather than high upfront capital expenditure. Integrated with most CAD systems, the service provides a cost-effective solution for agencies looking to upgrade their situational response tools. By transforming flat location data into multi-dimensional visuals, NextNav 3D plays a crucial role in improving public safety response times and operational efficiencies.
