NextNav Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results and Operational Highlights
- FCC issues order granting consent to assignment of Lower 900MHz licenses to NextNav
- NextNav supports urgent call for NPRM with technical, economic, and operational analysis
�In the second quarter we continued to advance toward our goal of addressing one of our nation’s most critical infrastructure needs with a sense of urgency and purpose,� said Mariam Sorond, CEO of NextNav. �We appreciate the FCC’s order granting consent to the assignment of the Telesaurus licenses, further enhancing our spectrum position and operational leadership in the Lower 900MHz band. We substantiated with data and analysis the significant benefits and minimal costs of our proposal to optimize the Lower 900 MHz band. We look forward to continuing to support the FCC’s important work as we seek to enable a widescale, future-proof complement and backup to GPS as quickly as possible.�
Operational Highlights
- On May 13, 2025, NextNav filed reply comments in response to the FCC’s Notice of Inquiry, Promoting the Development of PNT Technologies and Solutions, making the case for the FCC to promptly issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would enable a terrestrial complement and backup to GPS without the need for multibillion dollar taxpayer expenditures. The filing can be found .
- On June 10, 2025, NextNav presented implementation and deployment details of our 5G-based PNT solution to FCC staff. Details can be found .
- On June 20, 2025, the FCC issued an order granting consent to the assignment of 128 active M-LMS licenses to NextNav and waived an FCC rule that forbids one licensee from holding both an A-block license and a B- or C-block license in the same license area. The order can be found here.
- On June 24, 2025, NextNav’s CEO participated in an event focused on the urgent need for GPS resiliency, featuring distinguished Congressional, FCC, DoD and public safety representatives. Details of the event can be found .

The filing can be found here.
- On July 17, 2025, NextNav submitted an economic report prepared by the Brattle Group establishing that NextNav’s proposed optimization of the Lower 900 MHz band would impose minimal costs while generating substantial national benefits, potentially amounting to tens of billions of dollars. The filing can be found here.
