5 big analyst AI moves: Apple lifted to Buy, AI chip bets reassessed
Investing.com -- NextNav Inc. (NASDAQ:NN) stock rose 5.3% on Friday following the company’s announcement of a successful integration of its 5G-based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) technology with an Oscilloquartz GNSS-enabled grandmaster clock.
The integration represents a significant step toward commercializing a GPS complement and backup solution for national security, public safety, and mission-critical enterprise timing applications. According to the company, the combined solution successfully produced GPS-quality timing output signals in both outdoor and indoor environments where satellite signals might be unavailable or compromised.
"This successful integration shows the real-world potential of fusing NextNav’s terrestrial 5G PNT technology with GPS and Oscilloquartz’s world-class synchronization systems," said NextNav Co-Founder and CTO, Arun Raghupathy. "The result is a far more resilient solution that we believe will ensure continuity of timing across a wide range of critical use cases—from national security and defense to financial services and telecommunications."
The Oscilloquartz grandmaster clock, which employs a Zero Trust Architecture, is designed to accept and fuse multiple timing sources. This integration enables resilient operation even in GPS-denied or degraded environments, providing redundancy for critical infrastructure that depends on precise synchronization.
Gil Biran, GM of Oscilloquartz at Adtran, noted that reliable timing is "foundational for critical infrastructure" and that combining GPS with NextNav’s terrestrial signal delivers "the redundancy and robustness required for next-generation networks, national security, and critical industries."
Oscilloquartz is a subsidiary of Adtran, specializing in synchronization and timing solutions for telecommunications and other industries.
