National Timing Infrastructure

The strength of a nation’s infrastructure is increasingly dependent on the accuracy of time. With pervasive cybersecurity threats disrupting Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), an alternative time system is a matter of national security. To address this need, our time scale and time measurement systems deliver a range of solutions to enable traceability to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) without depending on GNSS. These solutions provide nations, institutions, and scientific labs with complete control over the time sources on which their critical infrastructure depends.

• Multi-channel measurement system to provide clock time differences
• Ensemble and time scale algorithms to combine the clocks into one output
• Local realization of UTC and contribution to worldwide UTC calculated by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM)
• Distribution of 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 1 PPS, TOD and IRIG clock signals and packet timing, including Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
• Measurements can be archived in a database for analytics
• User interface to provide integrated system command and control
• Automatic generation of BIPM reports (clock, common view and TAIPPP)
