NextNav (Nasdaq: NN) has partnered with Critical Response Group (CRG) to enhance public safety through advanced indoor mapping solutions. This collaboration will integrate NextNav Pinnacle technology, providing critical vertical location data to improve emergency response. The partnership aims to equip thousands of building owners and public safety agencies with enhanced mapping capabilities, ensuring effective emergency preparations. NextNav Pinnacle currently covers over 4,400 cities across the U.S., delivering precise vertical location services for public safety.
NextNav (Nasdaq: NN) demonstrated its TerraPoiNT technology during a trial for the European Commission's Joint Research Centre in Italy. The test evaluated alternative positioning, navigation, and timing (APNT) technologies to provide reliable PNT services independent of GNSS.
The study highlights that PNT services contribute approximately 10% to European GDP, with potential economic losses of 1 billion EUR per day if GNSS fails. Results of the JRC evaluation are expected in spring 2022.
NextNav has partnered with a major wireless carrier to implement its Pinnacle 911 solution, enhancing vertical location for Enhanced 911 (E911) in over 4,400 U.S. cities. This service significantly improves emergency response by allowing accurate location tracking inside multi-story buildings, exceeding FCC's Z-axis requirements. The technology delivers floor-level accuracy (±3m) 94% of the time, which is pivotal for public safety. The partnership aims to reduce emergency response times by over 80%, thus saving lives and enhancing safety.
