NN says joint testing has been needed for two years and alleges opposition has resisted it.
@cfrischer1 The use cases for satellite part 15 are extremely limited, & to suggest this is bad for $NN is silly. If there is interference or not is the only thing that matters whether on land or in space.
@darkstarsats @JoesAutopen @cfrischer1 @CalgaryLeveen @mil01425146 @SteveCrowley Probably for the same reason the opposition has submitted reports that need to break the laws of physics in order to suggest interference. $NN
@snack8812 @CalgaryLeveen Hi - could you explain why you think the "admin in office" is against $NN? Is this just because of the OIRA delay? Or are there other reasons? TYIA
@darkstarsats 2/x) $NN can play a video for congress of them running tests right outside the capital building, or maybe even inside, and say "see, no interference."
@darkstarsats 1/x) the point is that next time $NN is front of congress, when the opposition claims interference, Miriam can say "congressman, did you notice your key card not working?" "Sergeant at Arms, were there any issues w/ electronic security?" etc etc
I think there is signal value here. No way the FCC runs $NN tests at the literal capital building unless they have sign-off from the highest levels. To much risk of this being labeled a “stunt” unless the FCC and higher powers are strongly supportive. https://t.co/Eaxyu0UbS4
@darkstarsats @dylan_ascencios @dan_tmt and why would anyone have to retool antennas or receivers when almost all (but not all) Part 15 are center tuned to 915, which $NN doesn't want. Why are 10 Mhz around 915 not enough when EU and China do it with 5 or 6 MHz?
The 907-918 MHz Part 15 allocation is compared with smaller European and Chinese bands for similar devices.
@mil01425146 @darkstarsats Hudson and Guthrie have both been vocal supporters of the need for terrestrial backup to GPS/PNT. Hudson has even spoken at the same events that $NN CEO Sorond has spoken at. This is bullish.
@scottwilsonUSD @cfrischer1 just more of the same. no effort to explain why US RFID/part 15 needs all of lower 900 when the rest of the world functions fine with much less, & ignoring that $NN is meant to be just part of a system of systems.
@scottwilsonUSD @cfrischer1 Womack is seemingly in $WMT's pocket & claiming $NN will interfere with RFID. However, $NN has the proof that they do not interfere with RFID, so presumably Womack will go away.
@JoesAutopen yes - it is on Carr. The same Carr who has surely seen the real world testing that $NN has done, and still submitted a draft NPRM. Is it your belief that the real world data was negative, and Carr chose to purposefully put his head on the chopping block?
SpaceX, Amazon and mobile network operators may compete for $NN’s low-band spectrum, creating an extreme upside case if several parties need the asset.
@CalgaryLeveen @cfrischer1 @sScCrRaAbBLLeE 4/x) i'd bet RFID would drop their objections to $NN's plan in exchange for licensed status in 907-918 (or 908-917Mhz). Seems like a fair compromise to provide terrestrial backup to GPS in the U.S. for free.
NextNav ($NN) does not seek 907 to 918 MHz, despite RFID’s strongest signal at 915 MHz and narrower RFID allocations in Europe and China.
NextNav calls for interference testing in the 902-928 MHz band and questions RFID’s use of the spectrum. An NPRM could require real-world tests.

@cfrischer1 validation of what $NN CFO Tim Gray said at Seaport a few weeks back: https://t.co/OT4MFWbPxQ

NextNav’s appointment of CTIA CEO Ajit Pai to its board is presented as a signal of confidence in its FCC regulatory outlook.
Sounds like terrestrial GPS is being prioritized $NN https://t.co/EZoHuCydcB

Terrestrial backup to GPS is essential. $NN https://t.co/sCRxCPCldm
