Key Features

Multi-Constellation & Multi-Band

  • Simultaneous tracking of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou with UTC traceability.
  • Multi-band reception for enhanced accuracy, ionospheric error mitigation, and improved resilience to jamming and spoofing.

Concurrent GNSS Monitoring

  • GNSS constellation monitoring feature to detect and report UTC time offsets among different GNSS sources, ensuring alignment and qualification as a trusted UTC timing source.

Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Support

  • Fully compatible with IEEE-1588 v2 for telecom, power, and industrial applications.
  • Configurable as “master” or “slave” to adapt to network requirements.

Multiple Time Outputs

  • Support for NTP/SNTP (client & server)
  • Up to 14 outputs (1PPS & 10 MHz) for high-precision time distribution.
  • Multiple IRIG-B outputs (modulated & unmodulated) available.

GNSS Integrity & Security

  • Advanced jamming and spoofing detection with mitigation algorithms.
  • Secure boot and firmware upgrade mechanisms for enhanced cybersecurity.

Compact & Scalable Design
