NextNav Highlights Capabilities of its Nationwide Vertical Location Service at International Wireless Communications Expo
30 September 2021 - 3:19PM
This week, NextNav, a leader in next generation GPS, detailed the
capabilities of its vertical geolocation network, Pinnacle, at the
International Wireless Communications Expo (IWCE), one of largest
annual public safety conferences in the nation. Gillian Smith, VP
of Marketing at NextNav, participated in a panel session discussing
Z-axis, highlighting how NextNav – alongside Intrepid Networks
– delivers precise vertical location information to power
FirstNet Built with AT&T.
Smith emphasized the need for widespread adoption of Z-axis to
better support first responders in carrying out their life-saving
missions safely and effectively. The panel session, moderated by
Jeff Johnson, CEO of Western Fire Chiefs, included panelists Amos
Chalmers from FirstNet Built with AT&T, Britt Kane from
Intrepid Networks, and Eddie Reyes from the Prince William County
(Virginia) Office of Public Safety Communications.
“NextNav remains committed to supporting first responders with
the life-saving geolocation information they need to safely and
effectively respond to emergency situations,” said Smith.
“Nationwide Z-axis deployment is of the utmost importance.
Alongside our partners, AT&T/FirstNet Built with AT&T and
Intrepid Networks, as well as public safety community champions,
we’ll continue to lead the industry toward more widespread adoption
of Z-axis and 3D geolocation solutions that help protect and save
lives.”
NextNav Pinnacle delivers floor-level altitude measurements that
exceed the FCC mandate for three meter accuracy across over 4,400
U.S. cities and towns. Pinnacle provides incident commanders and
first responders with precise location and altitude intelligence,
helping to maximize situational awareness and minimize response
times to protect and save lives.
NextNav was recently selected by FirstNet, Built with AT&T
to provide highly accurate altitude capabilities for first
responders. Intrepid Networks also integrated NextNav into its
Response for FirstNet® application to bring vertical location to
first responders. Additionally, earlier this year, the company
partnered with 3AM Innovations to bring Pinnacle’s precise vertical
location into the patented Florian platform to improve first
responder safety and incident response outcomes.
In June 2021, NextNav entered into a definitive merger agreement
with Spartacus Acquisition Corporation (NASDAQ: TMTS, TMTSW, and
TMTSU) (“Spartacus”) in a transaction that would result in NextNav
being listed on the Nasdaq. The transaction is expected to close in
the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to satisfaction of customary
closing conditions.
