Commlabs, now operating as Nextnav, develops a location-enabled platform designed to deliver precise positioning in environments where GPS underperforms, notably indoors and in dense urban canyons. The company was founded by technologists with backgrounds at Qualcomm and TI and is based in Sunnyvale, California, operating with a relatively small to mid-sized team. The technology aims to complement traditional satellite-based positioning by providing reliable location information where GPS reliability is limited. Its primary customers are wireless carriers and other organizations that require dependable location data beyond standard GPS. In May 2026, Nextnav announced a collaboration to develop a 3GPP Positioning Reference Signal within the OCUDU Ecosystem Foundation, aiming to extend the open-source RAN stack to support Integrated Sensing and Communications and PNT use cases in 5G and future networks.
