Live from the hearing: In Mariam Sorond's opening statement, she highlighted the company’s 20+ years focused on strengthening America’s #PNT resilience.

With more than 150 patents in PNT & location technologies, NextNav brings deep technical expertise to help solve a national security challenge. #GPS

Happening now: NextNav CEO Mariam Sorond is testifying before the @HouseCommerce Subcommittee on Communications & Technology on the urgent need to strengthen America’s #PNT resilience. #GPS

The United States is the proud inventor of GPS. It’s a critical asset that should not be left without a backup. Both China and Russia have built resilient, terrestrial backups to space-based PNT. America does not yet have one.

With a rise in GPS attacks across the globe, addressing this national security vulnerability is of bipartisan interest – which every presidential administration this century has identified.

GPS is foundational to our way of life, but is vulnerable to jamming, spoofing, cyber-attacks and more. According to NIST, a GPS outage would cost the U.S. economy $1 billion per day (1.6 billion with inflation). That is a cost America cannot afford: https://t.co/qQ5echQWRm

Our studies showed definitively that RFID technologies are resilient by design and can continue to operate alongside 5G signals in the lower 900 MHz band without operational impact.

But sometimes seeing is believing...

As Mariam Sorond said, we agree with For Star Admiral Michael Rogers (Ret.) that America needs “one ground-based backup that leverages existing infrastructure to provide the speed and scale this problem requires”

GPS often struggles inside dense cities and indoors.

NextNav’s latest side-by-side demo shows how our 5G-powered 3D PNT solution compares to #GPS in a real-world environment, delivering latitude, longitude, and vertical height in real time.

Here’s how NextNav answers the question “Where you are” in full 3D ⬇️

Hear from Renee Gregory, VP of Regulatory Affairs at NextNav, reiterate how the company is addressing one of the most important vulnerabilities the United States faces today - the lack of a ground-based complement and backup to #GPS

“The US government has called for a resilient system of systems approach to this issue...We are here for a singular purpose. To solve a national security problem.”

NextNav demonstrated the first-ever wireless indoor timing solution, delivering 20-nanosecond sync that exceeds international timing standards.

Tested outdoors, indoors, and in #GPS-denied locations, the results show how a 5G-powered 3D PNT solution can support critical infrastructure timing needs. #PNT

Last year, NextNav CEO Mariam joined Admiral Michael S. Rogers, U.S. Navy (Ret.), and former Acting NTIA Administrator Diane Rinaldo for a @GPSWorld panel on the critical role of GPS and the need to build layers of resilience into America’s PNT infrastructure.

The discussion covered #GPS vulnerabilities & the @FCC’s inquiry into complements and backups to GPS.

A study that defies physics should not define national security policy.

NextNav’s Renee Gregory explains in @BroadbandCensus why flawed analysis should not stand in the way of a resilient #PNT complement and backup to #GPS: https://t.co/VlqIUN4RuB

Public safety is in our company's DNA. We'd like to thank those who have worked with us to improve emergency response in moments where every second matters.

[NextNav @NextNav]

As discussed in today’s @HouseCommerce hearing, public safety leaders continue to speak out on the urgent need for accurate indoor 3D location.

Read former Boston Fire Commissioner Joe Finn in @BroadbandCensus on “A Firefighter’s Mayday on the Urgent Need for 3D Tracking on the Fireground.”: https://t.co/W0FOeonY1k

[NextNav @NextNav]

At today’s hearing, Mariam Sorond referenced tragic real-world incidents where responders lost their lives because they could not be located inside a dangerous fire.

Hear more from Ret. Assistant Chief of Phoenix Fire, Kevin Roche, on why accurate indoor 3D location matters.

“There’s no other technology that would be more important to the fire service.”

[NextNav @NextNav]

At today’s hearing we are not asking anyone to take our word for it. We have extensive studies and real-world demonstrations that show unlicensed devices like RFID and security alarms can keep operation without disruption.

See for yourself:

We are asking that the experts at the FCC be empowered to evaluate the evidence on the record.

Former Boston Fire Commissioner Joe Finn highlights the urgent need for accurate indoor 3D location to support firefighter safety during Mayday situations.

Knowing a responder's location means knowing the floor, level, and fastest path to reach them when seconds matter.

Every map, dispatch, and delivery starts with the same piece of data — where you are. #GPS helps the world find its place. But the world also needs to know where it is when GPS signals are unavailable, like indoors.

Check out NextNav’s side-by-side demonstration, showing how the company’s 5G-powered 3D #PNT solution can complement and backup GPS in places GPS signals can’t break through.

With all the noise about whether 5G in the lower 900 MHz band affects unlicensed devices, we wanted to lower the temperature with real-world demonstrations.

Q: Will NextNav's 5G-powered 3D PNT solution interfere with RFID or security & alarm industry devices?

A: Nope
