In its Public Notice, the FCC says, “We seek comment on all aspects of the Petition, including its associated costs and benefits.”

Earlier in 2024, NextNav filed a petition asking the FCC to reconfigure the 902-928 MHz band (Lower 900 MHz Band) and adopt new rules to enable the deployment of a 5G terrestrial PNT network that would complement and back up the U.S. GPS.

With the 6 August 2024 release of Public Notice DA 24-776, the FCC’s Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) and Office of Engineering and Technology are seeking comments on a petition for rulemaking set forth by NextNav.
