Broadband Breakfast on May 28, 2025 – Understanding Global Positioning
What challenges and opportunities do alternatives to GPS present? What might a more diversified PNT landscape look like in practice?

Join us as we explore the goals of the FCC’s inquiry, the potential of emerging PNT systems – including both terrestrial and space-based technologies – and the perspectives of key stakeholders in government and industry. What challenges and opportunities do alternatives to GPS present? What might a more diversified PNT landscape look like in practice?
