TerraPoiNT by NextNav is a robust solution designed to enhance and supplement the GPS system, providing position, navigation, and timing (PNT) services in environments where traditional GPS might falter. Utilizing a terrestrial network of transmitters, TerraPoiNT ensures that critical PNT data is available in indoor, urban, and GPS-denied areas. This device-independent system strengthens GPS capabilities by delivering stronger signals and supporting encryption to prevent signal interference and spoofing.
The technology leverages a unique waveform similar to that used by GPS systems, ensuring compatibility while offering a higher signal strength. TerraPoiNT is particularly significant for areas requiring high security and precise PNT data, such as national infrastructure and defense sectors. Its scalability allows for deployment in various U.S. markets, with customizable configurations to increase resilience and effectiveness.
Incorporating TerraPoiNT into operations enhances cybersecurity by monitoring for and detecting GPS interference. The system’s ability to deliver 3D positioning and timing consistency makes it indispensable for critical infrastructure, offering Timing as a Service (TaaS) and ensuring that vital systems remain synchronized even when traditional GPS is unavailable.
