RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NextNav (Nasdaq: NN), a leader in next generation 3D geolocation technology, and First Due, the all-in-one AI-powered platform for fire and emergency medical services (EMS) agencies, today announced a partnership that brings NextNav's vertical location and 3D visualization technology to Fire and EMS giving these agencies a powerful new tool for personnel accountability. This partnership and NextNav's technology will allow incident commanders to visualize not only the horizontal location of personnel but also their vertical position. By displaying first responders using a NextNav 3D wireframe view of buildings directly within First Due's Incident Command and Response solution, commanders on scene can now pinpoint the exact real-time location of personnel inside tall or complex structures. This capability supports faster and more informed decision-making during emergencies and is designed to enhance responder safety and operational awareness, helping both front-line personnel and their command teams make better tactical choices in high-pressure situations. 'We're focused on ensuring First Due delivers real impact when it matters most. With the ability to visualize personnel not just on a 2D map but within a 3D model of a structure, incident commanders gain powerful situational awareness in the moments that count,' said Andreas Huber, Co-founder and CEO of First Due. 'We're proud to continue our partnership with NextNav and further develop solutions that aim to improve operational outcomes during the most complex urban responses.' 'NextNav is excited to bring its accurate z-axis location and 3D visualization services to First Due's application ecosystem.

NextNav's 3D Location Technology Now Helping 9-1-1 Telecommunicators in Portions of North Central Texas
RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NextNav Inc. (Nasdaq: NN), a leader in next generation positioning, navigation and timing (PNT), announced today that its 3D mapping system is now live at select early adopter Emergency Communications Centers (ECCs) within the North Central Texas Emergency Communications District (NCT9-1-1). Full deployment across the district is scheduled for completion later this quarter. This breakthrough technology allows 9-1-1 call centers to see not just the horizontal location of a caller, but also their vertical position — in other words, how high they are within a building. By visualizing calls in a 3D wireframe view of buildings, first responders can visualize where help is needed faster and more accurately, especially in tall or complex buildings. "The ability to locate callers and responders with this level of precision is a significant advancement for public safety. It allows us to respond faster and more accurately, particularly in urban and multi-story settings." said Rodger Mann, Chief Innovation Officer of NCT9-1-1. "NextNav has been a valuable partner, consistently demonstrating a strong commitment to enhancing public safety." The system is powered through a partnership between NextNav and a next-generation cloud platform for public safety. Key features include real-time vertical location data, estimated floor levels, and detailed 3D building maps — all integrated into the dispatch center's main mapping system. 'Our technology gives emergency teams a clearer picture of what's happening inside buildings during an emergency,' said Rob Clark, Senior Director - Public Safety of NextNav. 'That can make all the difference when seconds count.' This rollout marks a major milestone in bringing advanced vertical location data into real-world emergency response for NCT9-1-1— and sets the stage for similar upgrades at 9-1-1 call centers across the country.

Job ads fall for a second month
The mid-year economic slowdown appears to be weighing on the job market with job advertisements falling for a second month. Data from employment website Seek NZ showed job ads fell 3% in June from a month earlier, and 3% lower than a year ago. Applications per job ad - recorded with a one-month lag - were down 2% monthly. It comes as various economic datasets point to the country's economic recovery stalling in the middle of the year. Seek country manager Rob Clark said job ad levels remained broadly flat for the past year. "While the volume remains below pre-Covid levels, there are pockets of growth, which should be cause for some optimism," he said. Job ad volumes were mixed across the regions, with Gisborne, Marlborough and Southland the only regions to see month-on-month growth in June. In Auckland and Canterbury, volumes fell 2% in June, while Wellington fell 4%. Otago was flat, while Waikato fell 4%. The only industry to see an increase in volumes was Information & Communication Technology, with more demand for ICT managers and networks & systems administrators. "Despite a monthly dip in June, demand within government and defence has jumped 51% year-on-year, and we're seeing a growing number of industries return to annual growth within the professional and consumer services sectors," Clark said.
