Fugro AtomiChron® Timing Service
Augments Resilience, Assurance, Precision and Availability on a
Global Scale
CHANDLER, Ariz., May 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV)
today announced the availability of SecurePNT™ 6200 with
SecureTimeSM services, a resilient timing clock solution
that delivers the most comprehensive assurance of positioning,
navigation and timing (PNT) services used in critical
infrastructure operations worldwide. SecurePNT and SecureTime build
on VIAVI's proven assured PNT solutions with the addition of the
Fugro AtomiChron® timing service, enabling intelligent
zero-trust multisource assurance combining signals from
Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO), Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Medium Earth
Orbit (MEO) GPS and GNSS constellations.
Essential networks throughout the world – including 5G
communications, transportation, energy, public safety, finance,
defense and data centers – rely on publicly available GPS and
GNSS signals for synchronization based on timing and location.
These signals are occasionally unavailable or at risk of being
jammed or spoofed, or satellites themselves can be attacked, with
potentially catastrophic consequences. Governments have begun
mandating that critical infrastructure providers improve resilience
of their networks through more responsible use of PNT services.
VIAVI's portfolio of assured PNT products have been proven to
provide redundant timing and location security in civilian and
military applications, based on connectivity to the broadest range
of timing sources in the market. The Fugro AtomiChron®
timing source enables the VIAVI SecureTime eGNSSSM GEO
service to deliver true authenticated and encrypted resilience and
higher accuracy, not previously supported by traditional GNSS,
through:
- Anti-spoofing detection and mitigation
- Authentication on all GNSS satellite constellations beyond
Galileo OSNMA
- Encryption
- <5ns accuracy and <1ns optional timing accuracy,
traceable to UTC/NIST
- The most comprehensive and cost-effective global coverage in
the market
This solution comes with the hallmarks of the VIAVI assured PNT
portfolio:
- TrustedPNT™ sensor fusion technology – fusing, weighing,
comparing, authenticating and verifying as many timing space and
terrestrial sources as possible, based on an intelligent zero-trust
multisource model
- Patented µTranscoder™ – enabling users to rapidly
retrofit their legacy GPS/GNSS clocks with a resilient and
multisource PNT clock, by simply placing the 6200 between the
legacy GPS/GNSS antenna and its receiver
- Compliance with evolving government guidance, requirements and
standards, including the DHS Resilient PNT Conformance
Framework, the NIST 8323.1 Cybersecurity Framework for PNT Profile,
the CISA Federal PNT Services Acquisition Guidance, and the IEEE
Resilient PNT P1952 Standard in progress.
"We're delighted to partner with VIAVI to strengthen their PNT
solutions. Time synchronization is one of the greatest challenges
for critical infrastructure," said Roel de
Vries, Business Developer AtomiChron® at Fugro.
"The Fugro AtomiChron® service improves the
accuracy of time keeping to the nanosecond and provides protection
from GNSS signals being spoofed, using our navigation message
authentication."
"The public and private sectors are on high alert against
threats to critical infrastructure, with positioning, navigation
and timing being especially vulnerable," said Doug Russell, Senior Vice President, AvComm,
VIAVI. "We're excited to be working with a fellow market leader
in Fugro, augmenting our proven resilient PNT solutions with
AtomiChron®'s precision, reliability and global
availability."
