PNT Board Letter On Ligado Published

August 10, 2018

Written by Editor

Blog Editor’s Note: The National Space-based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Advisory Board is a Federal Advisory Committee Act body established by Presidential directive and administered by NASA. It reports to the US government’s PNT Executive Committee which is co-chaired by the deputy secretaries of the Department of Defense and Department of Transportation.

This letter about Ligado’s applications before the FCC follows a July 2017 letter on the same topic.  Both letters strongly oppose Ligado’s application.

What Can YOU Do? How Can YOU Help?

PNT is the quiet backbone of everything but too many leaders still don't see the risk.

But you do. You understand the systems, the dependencies, the failure chains. That insight is rare — and it's exactly what your country needs right now. Contact your government leaders and industry decision-makers and tell them resilient PNT isn't a feature — it's the foundation everything else depends on.
