NextNav Cleared for More Coexistence Tests
Stakeholders think the FCC is nearing a notice of proposed rulemaking related to PNT systems.
WASHINGTON, April 17, 2026 – NextNav has federal approval to do more field tests of its proposed 5G GPS backup.
The Federal Communications Commission cleared the company on Thursday to begin another round of tests in Pueblo, Colo. to gauge how well NextNav’s proposed system could coexist with a railroad company’s automatic equipment identification (AEI) systems.
NextNav was approved in December for similar coexistence testing with eight 5G radios placed throughout San Jose Calif.
