High Performance • GPS-like performance indoors and in

urban environments

• Accurate vertical position

• Fast time to first fix

• Fully managed network Wide Area Broadcast Network

• Highly synchronized beacons, with deployment optimized for location

• Encrypted signal on licensed spectrum, similar to GPS

• Broad coverage from minimal sites

Limited Receiver Impact • Firmware upgrade to typical GPS

digital baseband: standalone solution

• Handset integration largely limited to band support

• On-device computation of location

• Reduced power consumption

Limited Application and Core Network Impact

• Designed to leverage existing elements with configuration to support NextNav information

• Similar to “Standalone GPS Mode” call flows

Key Principles & Innovations • Network architecture effectively results in a terrestrial positioning constellation, featuring significant

commonality with GPS

– Timing-based system, using highly synchronized terrestrial transmitters for device-based trilateration

– Wide-area network architecture, providing consistent indoor service across coverage area

• System designed for minimally-disruptive adoption in mobile handsets and other devices

– Re-use of GPS digital baseband

• Air interface-agnostic system – allows for evolution of location technology independent of air interface (2G, 3G,

4G etc.)

• Unique height system results in 1 – 3m vertical precision by encoding real-time environmental reference

information in positioning data payload

• Unique business model – shared network (similar to GPS) across multiple parties ensures costs are

competitive

– NextNav deploys, manages and runs the network on a nationwide basis

Communications Safety, Reliability and

Interoperability Council Trials (“CSRIC”) • In 4Q12 the FCC’s CSRIC advisory group held a comprehensive, independent trial of location technologies for

indoor E911 in the San Francisco / Silicon Valley area.

• Joint effort by Public Safety, technology vendors and national wireless carriers. Results released March 2013

CSRIC Test Protocol Review

• CSRIC 3, Working Group 3 was chartered by the FCC with, among other things, creating an information base

from which indoor location accuracy standards for E911 could be established

– WG3 consists of technology vendors, public safety representatives and the four major U.S. wireless carriers

• Test program was performed by a 3rd party (TechnoCom), and was completely blind to participants

– Over 13,000 test calls for each participating vendor at 75 indoor test points per building (including deep building

core)

– Test bias towards dense urban / urban (70% of test points)

• Extremely rigorous test process, appropriate for mission-critical applications, resulted in some vendor attrition,

with performance for all vendors impacted (7 expressed interest, 4 started and 3 finished)

• Results published in March 2013
