NextNav's Pinnacle technology excels in providing precise vertical geolocation data, making it invaluable for modern digital applications needing 3D location precision. Utilizing the barometric sensors found in a wide range of devices, Pinnacle can achieve accurate altitude measurements that surpass the FCC’s requirement with metro-wide coverage using a dedicated network. This system offers easy integration through simple software updates, allowing developers to improve their applications with Pinnacle's robust vertical positioning capability.
The technology is supported by a complex infrastructure of altitude stations, which maintain a carefully curated, high-density survey dataset to ensure accurate, real-time altitude data across metropolitan areas. This makes it particularly valuable in urban environments, where traditional GPS might falter due to interference from dense construction. Notably, the Pinnacle system also prioritizes security and confidentiality, having undergone independent SOC 2 T-II examinations.
Besides the technical prowess, Pinnacle is an industry leader in enhancing situational awareness and operational effectiveness for first responders. Its easy-to-use SDKs and APIs enable the seamless integration of their technology into existing digital architectures, supporting varied use cases ranging from public safety to commercial location-based services. This wide-ranging applicability makes it a critical component for any organization seeking to improve or expand their positioning capabilities.
