Kyocera International has integrated NextNav's Pinnacle Z-axis vertical location technology into its DuraXV Extreme+ feature phone. This integration aims to enhance emergency response by providing floor-level accuracy for 911 calls, particularly in challenging environments like urban areas and multi-story buildings. The phone features a Barometric Pressure Sensor, which meets FCC Z-axis/E911 requirements. NextNav reported a 94% success rate in delivering floor-level accuracy in independent CTIA tests. The DuraXV Extreme+ is now available through Verizon and includes improved data transfer speeds, updated Bluetooth support, and remote technical support capabilities, ensuring robust communication for first responders and users in demanding situations.
Bodytrak has partnered with NextNav to enhance its safety solutions for emergency services by integrating intelligent biometric headsets with vertical location intelligence. This collaboration aims to improve real-time physiological monitoring and precise indoor vertical positioning, vital for emergencies. The Pinnacle network from NextNav supports indoor and outdoor geolocation across 4,400 U.S. cities, ensuring efficient personnel tracking. Bodytrak’s technology alerts command centers to critical health markers, critical for preventing incidents, especially given the statistic that overexertion and stress account for 54% of firefighter deaths in the U.S. This partnership highlights the growing importance of advanced wearable technology in public safety.
