NextNav Advances GPS Backup Network Bid Amid FCC Review
Original: NextNav Eyes GPS Backup Network as FCC Review, SpaceX Support Build Momentum
NextNav is pushing forward with its plan to build a terrestrial backup network for GPS, as the FCC reviews its proposal for repurposing spectrum near 900 MHz. The effort has drawn support from SpaceX, adding weight to the company's case. If approved, the network would provide a resilient alternative positioning, navigation and timing service in case GPS signals are jammed, spoofed or lost.
Why now: Ongoing FCC review and SpaceX's public backing have put NextNav's spectrum proposal back in the spotlight.
