Company Description

NextNav offers urban and indoor positioning services for public safety and commercial applications.

NextNav, LLC was founded in 2008 (formerly known as Commlabs Inc.) to solve the indoor positioning problem, taking into account ecosystem issues, high-precision performance requirements and the economics of the location market. NextNav is now deploying the revolutionary Metropolitan Beacon System (MBS) positioning technology across the U.S. to allow mobile phones and other devices to reliably determine their location in indoor and urban environments where GPS signals can’t be received. NextNav’s system provides accurate horizontal positioning with floor-level height precision. Delivered over a managed network on licensed spectrum, with carrier-grade dependability and metropolitan-wide coverage, NextNav’s positioning services are designed for E911, public safety and emergency response as well as the multitude of consumer and commercial applications that require precise indoor location accuracy.
