• NextNav issued a clarification on May 4, 2026, citing a rooftop field test in San Jose designed to rebut claims that its proposed 5G-powered 3D PNT network in lower 900 MHz would interfere with RFID systems.
• Demonstration showed a standard RFID reader continued operating with multiple tags in close proximity and direct line of sight to an operating 5G PNT base station, including under “unrealistically high” 5G signal levels.
• NextNav pointed to prior engineering studies in FCC filings concluding RAIN RFID can coexist with 5G in 902-928 MHz without operational impact, citing third-party concurrence from RKF Engineering.
• Company framed outcome as support for FCC action to optimize spectrum use to enable a terrestrial GPS backup while maintaining Part 15 unlicensed operations across 902-928 MHz.
