Signal analysis from the Z-Wave Alliance Unplugfest event in Carlsbad, California, on Oct. 28, 2025, shows the current real-world noise floor and peak Part 15 signal power in a typical suburban environment. Analysis from Pericle Communications estimates Part 15 signal strength would need to be at least 538 times and up to 741 million times greater to achieve equivalent link reliability if NextNav’s proposed high-power downlink band is approved.
