 in research and development and related functions, and more than half of these employees hold advanced engineering and scientific degrees, including many from the world’s top universities. 

To date, we have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our relationship with our employees to be good. None of our employees are either represented by a labor union or subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

Facilities

 We maintain a distributed workforce with facilities in Reston, Virginia, Santa Clara, California, Puteaux, France, Noida, India and Bangalore, India. Our principle executive office is in Reston, Virginia. Our corporate offices in Virginia include executive, finance, and regulatory functions, while our California facility hosts our operations and technology development, among other functions. Our French and Indian locations are focused on software development and research and development functions. We may add additional facilities in other locations in the future. 

Regulatory

 There are government regulations pertaining to our operation, use, and export of our vertical location and PNT solutions, some of which are currently applicable to us and others that will become applicable to us as we expand our operations. As we expand service to additional countries and regions, we will become subject to additional governmental approvals and regulations. 

Radio Spectrum

Certain of our services rely on the use of radio communications spectrum, which is regulated in the United States and in most other countries. In the United States, spectrum access is licensed and regulated by the FCC. We hold radio licenses issued by the FCC that authorize the use of 8 MHz of contiguous spectrum in the 900 MHz band covering more than 90% of the population in the United States, and on March 7, 2024, we announced an agreement, subject to appropriate regulatory approvals, to acquire an additional 4 MHz of M-LMS licenses in parts of the United States. These licenses and the FCC rules impose obligations on us regarding the use of this spectrum, including power and operational limits, coexistence, build-out, and usage requirements, and a license renewal obligation. We must comply with these requirements to retain access and use of these spectrum resources.

On April
16, 2024, we filed a Petition for Rulemaking with the FCC, seeking to
significantly accelerate and expand the availability of our PNT services as a
complement and backup to GPS through a modernization of the Lower 900 MHz band,
and the configuration and operating rules governing our licenses. The Petition
is subject to an ongoing FCC regulatory review process.
