(Nasdaq: NN), a leader in next-generation positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) and 3D geolocation, announced today that its plan for a terrestrial PNT backup and complement to GPS in the Lower 900 MHz would prevent hundreds of millions of dollars in losses in the event of a global GPS outage. The Brattle Group’s economic analysis finds that a 1-day global GPS outage could cost the American economy $1.6 billion, and NextNav’s proposal could prevent a loss of $663 million to the economy for a 24-hour outage period.\nAdopting NextNav’s proposal to reconfigure the Lower 900 MHz band offers the US economy a $10.8 billion insurance policy to protect against GPS outages without taxpayer funding, plus additional benefits of $3.8 billion from increased resiliency. The total quantified value of a GPS backup is $14.6 billion based on The Brattle Group’s report.\nConducted by economists Coleman Bazelon and Paroma Sanyal of the Brattle Group, a highly recognized global economics firm, the study carefully evaluates the potential economic impact of a GPS outage and explores various scenarios that could result in a GPS disruption. It also examines the benefits of adopting NextNav’s proposal, including enhanced location accuracy that would benefit first responders to help improve emergency services. More findings from the report are below. The full report is available here.\n\"The need for greater resiliency in lifesaving and mission-critical terrestrial PNT technologies has been acknowledged by four Presidential administrations, yet few proposals have provided a clear path to a robust solution without substantial government intervention or taxpayer funding,\" said Dr. Coleman Bazelon, lead economist of the report. \"Our analysis shows that NextNav's widescale solution provides a total economic value of $14.6 billion and the equivalent to more than a $10 billion insurance policy if GPS goes dark.\"\nThe Brattle Group Economic Analysis\nTo estimate the private sector value, the Brattle Group treated the terrestrial PNT backup solution as an \"insurance policy\" against GPS outages. The analysis estimates the potential economic loss for a 1-day, 7-day, and 30-day GPS outage to be $1.6 billion, $12.2 billion, and $58.2 billion, respectively. In the event of an outage, NextNav’s solution could reduce losses by $663 million, $6 billion and $31.9 billion, respectively. Given the probability of these outage events, the value to the American economy of the proposed terrestrial PNT approach is the equivalent of offering a $10.8 billion economic insurance policy to protect against GPS outages.\nThe report forecasts the top five sectors that would benefit most include telecommunications, maritime, telematics, location-based services, oil and gas.\n\n\n\nTABLE 5: POTENTIAL LOSSES BY SECTOR DUE TO A GPS OUTAGE ADRESSABLE BY NEXTNAV\n\n\nSector\n \nPotential Losses ($ millions)\n\n\n \n \n1-day Outage [A]\n7-day Outage [B]\n30-day Outage [C]\n\n\nTelecommunications\n[1]\n$51\n$1,670\n$13,528\n\n\nMaritime\n[2]\n$221\n$1,545\n$6,620\n\n\nTelematics\n[3]\n$164\n$1,147\n$4,915\n\n\nLocation-based services\n[4]\n$89\n$626\n$2,681\n\n\nOil and gas\n[5]\n$48\n$333\n$1,426\n\n\nAgriculture (soil mapping)\n[6]\n$42\n$291\n$1,247\n\n\nMining\n[7]\n$30\n$208\n$890\n\n\nSurveying\n[8]\n$10\n$72\n$310\n\n\nElectricity\n[9]\n$9\n$60\n$258\n\n\nFinance\n[10]\nNegligible\nNegligible\nNegligible\n\n\nTotal\n \n$663\n$5,951\n$31,875\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nTable: Summary of potential losses incurred by each sector for each outage scenario that are addressable by NextNav’s proposed 3D Terrestrial PNT SolutionSource: The Brattle Group\n\nThe report also finds that additional resiliency for GPS backup has a value of $3.8 billion for the United States. Using the Government Accountability Office's cost estimates for a jamming-resistant, military-grade GPS signal, the report estimates that NextNav’s proposal would result in additional benefits.\nFinally, the Report examines a partial set of benefits from having a terrestrial PNT system that complements GPS. For example, first responders would benefit from more accurate location information, which would improve emergency services and save lives. The report notes that in a related context, the Federal Communications Commission stated that reducing emergency response times by one minute via improved location accuracy for emergency services could be valued at $97 billion annually.\n\n\"The need for a reliable GPS backup is not just a national security issue, it's an economic imperative,\" said Mariam Sorond, CEO of NextNav. \"Our proposal offers a solution to safeguard a system that underpins American commerce, public safety, and national security without relying on taxpayer funding. We are committed to being part of a solution that unleashes the Lower 900 MHz band’s potential and is a win for the American people.\"\nChange drives innovation. With the NextNav proposal, the FCC has the opportunity to update legacy rules to ensure a safer tomorrow.\nAbout NextNav Inc.NextNav Inc.
