You can also find data sheets and information on our website:National Timing Infrastructure Page_________________________________Troubleshooting GNSS Timing Problems—Three Unusual Real-World Exampleswebinar pageOur portfolio provides you with options for constructing a time scale solution. You can purchase the Precise Time Scale System (PTSS), which is an integrated solution that comes preassembled in a cabinet with robust AC and DC power and includes a comprehensive factory acceptance test. Or you can construct your own time scale solution by purchasing individual items. For example, if you own two or more cesium clocks, you can simply connect the SyncSystem 4380A Time Scale Edition and the Time Scale Orchestrator software to transform their frequency references to also be the foundation for a time scale that is traceable to UTC.“This was an excellent opportunity to provide solicited feedback to US Government officials on ways they can help bring complementary PNT offerings to the market and assist with adoption by critical infrastructure. Microchip was recognized as a leader in the PNT market, and it was honor to participate in the roundtable,” said Randy Brudzinski.TimePictra Synchronization Management Software Release 11.1 Available NowLearn about unusual GNSS jamming data and its sources in the Recent Podcasts and WebinarsB2B Tech Talk podcast.Position, Navigation and Time (PNT) BlogSyncServer Time Server S600/S650 v5.0 ReleasedWe have just released update 11.1 of our TimePictra Synchronization Management Software solution.

The meeting was held at the DOT’s headquarters in Washington, DC. We were one of only two suppliers of timing receivers in attendance. Other participants included telecom service providers, Lumen and Verizon, and representatives from a wide variety of US Government agencies, including the DOT, FAA, DHS, DoD, FBI and DOE. A handful of alternative Time-as-a-Service (TaaS) companies were also in attendance. These TAAS companies consisted of eLORAN advocates such as Hellen Systems and Ursanav, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) PNT providers such as Satelles and Xona and fiber connect services such as Hoptroff and OPNT.New Trusted Time for Zero Trust Network Application Note • REST API for SDN integration and increased scalability by Dr. Robert Hampshire, DOT deputy assistant secretary for research and technology and chief science officer; the US Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, made an appearance to thank participants for their input on the important topic of complementary PNT to address the continued risks of being solely dependent upon GNSS.We have just released new software maintenance and technical support offerings. Now you have a choice of service offerings:New features that have been added to the BlueSky GNSS Firewall 2200 hardware include a new L1/L2/L5 GNSS receiver and new independent RF power monitoring of L1, L2 and L5 bands. to view and listen to recent educational webinars and podcasts about synchronization and timing.
