A federal government shutdown could delay administrative processes that support certain aspects of our business. While we do not expect material impact from short-term disruptions, extended shutdowns may affect the timing of planned initiatives that depend on government action. We continue to monitor developments and adjust execution timelines as appropriate.

Previous wording
We are the market leader in delivering resilient, next generation, complementary positioning, navigation and timing (“PNT”) solutions designed to overcome the limitations and vulnerabilities of the existing space-based Global Positioning System (“GPS”) and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (“GNSS”). We are evolving our complementary PNT solutions to use 5G New Radio (“5G NR”) technologies (“NextGen”), in conjunction with our Petition for Rulemaking filed with the FCC, to update and reconfigure the Lower 900 MHz band and our spectrum licenses. We expect the evolution of our platform to NextGen will significantly improve the efficiency, flexibility, and scale of our operations, technically enabling the delivery of high-quality PNT based on a 5G broadband network. Our NextGen solution is being designed to allow one or more partners to integrate our Lower 900 MHz spectrum into their 5G networks. We expect that this will result in wide-scale availability of both complementary PNT services and additional broadband capacity.

We are the market leader in delivering resilient, next generation, complementary positioning, navigation and timing (“PNT”) solutions designed to overcome the limitations and vulnerabilities of the existing space-based Global Positioning System (“GPS”) and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (“GNSS”). We are evolving our complementary PNT solutions to use 5G New Radio (“5G NR”) technologies (“NextGen”). We have filed a Petition for Rulemaking with the FCC to update and reconfigure the Lower 900 MHz band to facilitate a transition to 5G for its services. We expect the evolution of our platform to NextGen capability will significantly improve the efficiency, flexibility, and scale of our operations, enabling the delivery of high-quality PNT via a 5G broadband network. Our NextGen solution is being designed to allow one or more partners to integrate our Lower 900 MHz spectrum into their 5G networks. We expect that this would result in wide-scale availability of both complementary PNT services and additional broadband capacity. We have been granted 165 patents related to our systems and services, and standardized certain of our technologies with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), a global telecommunications standards-setting body.
Previous wording
Our complementary PNT solutions are built on a deep asset base, including valuable FCC licenses. Our licenses include a contiguous 8 MHz block of 900 MHz M-LMS spectrum covering over 90% of the U.S. population, and on March 7, 2024, we signed an agreement, subject to appropriate regulatory approvals, to acquire an additional 4 MHz of M-LMS licenses covering part of the U.S. population. On April 16, 2024, we petitioned the FCC to commence a rule making to reconfigure and update the rules governing the Lower 900 MHz band plan to allow us to utilize a 15 MHz nationwide configuration for both PNT and 5G broadband (“Petition”). The Petition is subject to an ongoing FCC regulatory review process. We believe that modernizing the Lower 900 MHz band will simultaneously enable a high-quality terrestrial PNT network to complement and back up GPS, address a critical national security vulnerability, and add 5G broadband capacity. We have been granted more than 160 patents related to our systems and services, and standardized certain of our technologies with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), a global telecommunications standards-setting body.
