The 988 Lifeline can be an essential resource to those facing mental health struggles. That is why I introduced the 988 Lifeline Location Improvement Act with a group of bipartisan colleagues. This legislation would improve geolocation capabilities and increase the effectiveness of the lifeline.
This #988Day, let's remind our communities that you don't have to be in crisis to reach out to 988. Whatever you're facing, your reason is reason enough. Get involved: 🌳 Host a walk 🎨 Create 988 chalk art 📣 Share 988 resources For more ideas, visit 988DayToolkit.org.

A study that defies physics should not define national security policy. NextNav’s Renee Gregory explains in @BroadbandCensus why flawed analysis should not stand in the way of a resilient #PNT complement and backup to #GPS: broadbandbreakfast.com/renee…

GPS is foundational to our way of life, but is vulnerable to jamming, spoofing, cyber-attacks and more. According to NIST, a GPS outage would cost the U.S. economy $1 billion per day (1.6 billion with inflation). That is a cost America cannot afford: nextnav.com/the-brattle-grou…

GPS often struggles inside dense cities and indoors. NextNav’s latest side-by-side demo shows how our 5G-powered 3D PNT solution compares to #GPS in a real-world environment, delivering latitude, longitude, and vertical height in real time. Here’s how NextNav answers the question “Where you are” in full 3D ⬇️ youtube.com/watch?v=iJ-l5Vqi…

Last year, NextNav CEO Mariam joined Admiral Michael S. Rogers, U.S. Navy (Ret.), and former Acting NTIA Administrator Diane Rinaldo for a @GPSWorld panel on the critical role of GPS and the need to build layers of resilience into America’s PNT infrastructure. The discussion covered #GPS vulnerabilities & the @FCC’s inquiry into complements and backups to GPS. youtube.com/watch?v=nAoqkidd…

At today’s hearing we are not asking anyone to take our word for it. We have extensive studies and real-world demonstrations that show unlicensed devices like RFID and security alarms can keep operation without disruption. See for yourself: 5G & Security/Alarm System Coexistence: nextnav.com/demonstrating-5g… 5G & RFID Coexistence: nextnav.com/demonstrating-5g… We are asking that the experts at the FCC be empowered to evaluate the evidence on the record.

At today’s hearing, Mariam Sorond referenced tragic real-world incidents where responders lost their lives because they could not be located inside a dangerous fire. Hear more from Ret. Assistant Chief of Phoenix Fire, Kevin Roche, on why accurate indoor 3D location matters. “There’s no other technology that would be more important to the fire service.” youtube.com/watch?v=AdsArTdR…

Former Boston Fire Commissioner Joe Finn highlights the urgent need for accurate indoor 3D location to support firefighter safety during Mayday situations. Knowing a responder's location means knowing the floor, level, and fastest path to reach them when seconds matter. Read more: broadbandbreakfast.com/joe-f… #PublicSafety #FireService #NextNav

Every map, dispatch, and delivery starts with the same piece of data — where you are. #GPS helps the world find its place. But the world also needs to know where it is when GPS signals are unavailable, like indoors. Check out NextNav’s side-by-side demonstration, showing how the company’s 5G-powered 3D #PNT solution can complement and backup GPS in places GPS signals can’t break through.
