How NextNav Pinnacle® works

Leveraging the barometric sensors already available in phones, tablets, and many other devices, Pinnacle® delivers “floor-level” altitude measurements which exceed the FCC requirement for 3m accuracy.

Device Sensor

Device Sensor

Tiny sensors in your device measure environmental conditions.

Device sends reading. NextNav altitude station data.
NextNav Cloud

NextNav Cloud

The Pinnacle service compares device data to local conditions, subtracting the weather and other factors to leave behind a highly accurate altitude measurement.

NextNav Cloud sends altitude.
NextNav Altitude Stations

NextNav Altitude Stations

These stations create a hyperlocal model of environmental conditions.
