For years, the wireless industry searched for 5G’s “killer app.” In her latest column for the @ForbesTechCncl, NextNav CEO Mariam Sorond argues that one of 5G’s most important missions may not live up to the hype but will be far more consequential: strengthening public safety and national security. forbes.com/councils/forbeste… #5G #PNT #GPS #Forbes

Today, NextNav announced we've joined @GSMA and other industry partners in an industry-first call to action bringing together leaders from telecommunications, aviation, security, and drone operations to help shape the future for safer drone airspaces.

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.” youtube.com/watch?v=AdsArTdR…

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.

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

.@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-fir…

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/nex…

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-doc…

@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/science/g…

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.
