NextNav Named an IDC Innovator for Location and Geospatial Data

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NextNav, a leader in next generation GPS, today announced that it’s been recognized as an IDC Innovator in the IDC Innovators: Location and Geospatial Data, 2021 (IDC #US47643221, November 2021) report.

“This is a great achievement and validator for the entire NextNav team,” said Ganesh Pattabiraman, founder and CEO of NextNav. “As our company enters a new chapter, we’re energized to continue scaling our technology and partnering across industries to bring next generation location capabilities to the market.”

The report profiles four companies that provide location and geospatial data solutions. The recognition builds on recent industry recognitions for NextNav. Last year, the company was named the top performing solution by researchers in a Department of Transportation evaluation that concluded NextNav demonstrated PNT performance of value in all applicable use case scenarios.

The company has seen widespread adoption of its technology across the adtech, gaming, public safety, and other industries. In the past year, the company has partnered with Gimbal and Atlas Reality, maker of Atlas: Earth, and has made its vertical location capabilities available to millions of software developers through both the Unity Engine and Epic Unreal Engine. In public safety, partners such as FirstNet (Built by AT&T), Intrepid Systems, Motorola Mobility, 3AM Innovations, and TRX Systems have all leveraged NextNav’s 3D geolocation technology to enhance their location capabilities.
