Jamie Perez's questions to NextNav Inc (NN) leadership • Q3 2024
Question
Jamie Perez inquired about the technical requirements of the proposed band reconfiguration, potential interference from toll collection systems, the obligations of amateur radio operators, the hierarchy of spectrum users, and whether the federal government would be the primary customer.
Answer
Executive Mariam Sorond clarified the plan is a 'tweaking' of rules requiring new hardware and software, likely rolled out with a partner. She stated there is no interference from toll companies to their systems and confirmed amateur operators must operate on a non-interference basis. She described the user hierarchy (federal, ISM, licensees, unlicensed/amateurs) and affirmed that federal agencies could be customers for the GPS backup service.
