While the use of GNSS based time has become more vital for critical infrastructure operations, the security of the GNSS signal itself has become increasingly vulnerable to a wide range of jamming and spoofing threats, both intentional and unintentional. Given the inherently fragile nature of the GNSS signal, an important way Read more »
Microsemi has enabled cable TV and internet provider Stofa, based in Denmark, to successfully complete the first trial in Europe deploying a new type of architecture—Remote PHY (R-PHY)—based upon the DOCSIS® 3.1 standard in Europe. Read more »
Critical Infrastructure relies on position, navigation, and timing (PNT) which is now almost exclusively delivered using GNSS. The threat of GNSS errors has become Read more »
Cesium beam atomic clocks, such as Microsemi’s 5071A and TimeCesium products, have been popular frequency standards for deployment in Critical Infrastructure for many years. The cesium clock used in communications Read more »
When a GNSS failure occurs, dispatching personnel to a location to resolve an issue could take hours or even days. Critical Infrastructure operators rely on holdover clocks to provide valuable Read more »
GNSS-based errors, whether intentional or unintentional, can quickly impact a vast geography and widely dispersed locations. Additionally, a large variety of operational environments must be accounted for Read more »
In recent articles, I’ve talked about ESMA’s MiFID II requirements and how this regulation – effective January 2018 – will require trading systems to time stamp key trading event records within an assured level of accuracy… Read more »
The integrated GNSS master (IGM) portfolio is often viewed as an excellent small 1588v2 PTP grandmaster at the edge of the network to serve clusters of base stations. Read more »
