NextNav, Inc. (NASDAQ: NN) is a location infrastructure company that delivers high‐precision, three‐dimensional (“3D”) geolocation services. Leveraging a nationwide network of small‐cell transmitters and licensed spectrum in the 900 MHz band, NextNav provides vertical and horizontal positioning data that enables indoor/outdoor location awareness. Its technology is designed to enhance public safety applications—such as improved E-911 call routing—and to support a growing array of commercial use cases in telecommunications, asset tracking and the Internet of Things (IoT).
The company’s flagship offerings include Pinnacle, a 3D geolocation service that supplies real‐time altitude and horizontal coordinates, and TerraPoiNT, a service tailored for IoT and smart infrastructure. Through these services, NextNav delivers continuous, carrier‐grade positioning in dense urban environments, as well as indoors, where traditional GPS signals often fail. NextNav’s platform also supports SWIM™ (Seamless Wireless Indoor Mapping), enabling partners to integrate floor‐level accuracy into their applications without extensive sensor networks.
Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Reston, Virginia, NextNav holds nationwide spectrum licenses awarded by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The company began commercial deployments in the mid‐2010s and has steadily expanded coverage to major metropolitan markets across the United States. Its infrastructure is built to scale, aiming to serve both public safety agencies and private enterprises seeking to leverage precise location data for asset management, autonomous systems, connected vehicles and smart building initiatives.
NextNav’s leadership team is led by Michael J. Pullen, President and Chief Executive Officer, who brings decades of experience in wireless communications and network operations. The company collaborates closely with wireless carriers, device manufacturers and software integrators to accelerate the adoption of 3D location services. With a focus on technology innovation and strategic partnerships, NextNav is positioned to fulfill rising demands for accurate, reliable geolocation in both emergency response and commercial applications.
