 services through our Pinnacle and TerraPoiNT solutions. Our Pinnacle solution, launched in partnership with AT&T Services, Inc. (“AT&T”) as part of its FirstNet® initiative, can provide accurate altitude service to any device with a barometric pressure sensor and covers over 90% of commercial structures over three stories in the U.S. Our Pinnacle system is primarily used for public safety applications, including enhanced 911 (“E911”) for Verizon Communications, Inc. (“Verizon”), and a growing number of devices operating on the remaining national cellular network providers.

Our TerraPoiNT system is a terrestrially based dedicated, complementary PNT network designed to overcome the limitations inherent in the space-based nature of GPS. GPS is a faint, unencrypted signal, which is often unavailable indoors, distorted in urban areas, and vulnerable to both jamming and spoofing. TerraPoiNT overcomes these limitations through a network of wide-area location transmitters that broadcast a PNT signal on our licensed Lower 900 MHz M-LMS spectrum. Unlike GPS, the TerraPoiNT signal can be reliably received indoors and in urban areas, is difficult to jam or spoof compared to GPS, and can support signal authentication (e.g., encryption). Further, the TerraPoiNT signal can embed Pinnacle information to provide a full three-dimensional PNT solution. TerraPoiNT received the highest scores in testing by the DoT reported in 2021 regarding potential PNT backup solutions, in each category tested, and was the only solution evaluated capable of providing the full set of services provided by GPS. Continuing our engagement with the DoT, in 2024 we were awarded a contract to establish performance characteristics for TerraPoiNT to allow DoT to incorporate our solutions into a clearinghouse of solutions defined in the DoT Complementary PNT Action Plan, for potential use by Federal government customers.

Key Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We have generated limited revenue since our inception. We derive our revenue from PNT products and services. Our revenue includes revenue generated through services contracts with wireless carriers, services with applications developers, technology demonstration, assessment and support contracts with government customers, sales of equipment, and licensing of proprietary technology. We recognize revenue when an arrangement exists, services, equipment or access to licensed technology are delivered, the transaction price is determined, the arrangement has commercial substance, and
