National Timing Grid monitoring
Monitoring and alerting for Ireland's time distribution chain, helping operators understand system performance, stability, and resilience at national scale.
Explore the NTG projectWe help essential services check that the clocks and satellite signals they depend on are reliable, detect disruption, and respond with confidence.
Accurate time is not just about knowing the hour. It lets equipment agree on when events happen.
Mobile networks use precise time to coordinate communications, electricity networks to compare measurements, and financial systems to record transactions accurately. Transport, cloud services, and emergency systems also depend on trusted timing.
Many systems obtain precise time from GPS and Galileo. These satellite navigation systems are collectively known as GNSS. If their signals are blocked, manipulated, or degraded, the equipment using them may no longer have a reliable reference. We independently monitor these sources so operators can see when something is wrong.
Trusted by
A timing-dependent system may appear to be running normally while its reference source is degraded, manipulated, or drifting.
Intentional or accidental radio interference can block satellite signals and remove a trusted timing source.
False signals can mislead receivers, creating incorrect position or timing data that looks plausible.
Local radio noise, poor installation, or weak reception can degrade timing quality without immediate failure.
Equipment can continue operating while its local clock moves away from the trusted reference.
Without independent monitoring, teams may not know whether GNSS and timing sources are still reliable during an incident.
Independent checks turn timing and satellite observations into information your team can act on.
Observe satellite signals and timing sources at the sites that matter to you.
Check observations against trusted references and independent data to identify inconsistencies.
Notify your team when monitoring identifies degraded signals or timing anomalies.
Use recorded observations to investigate incidents and support operational decisions.
Monitoring identifies an anomaly, your team receives an alert, and recorded observations help establish where and when the change occurred. Operators can then investigate and follow their incident procedures. Monitoring provides evidence; it does not itself repair the source or switch equipment to a backup.
Explore Meridian monitoringReliable monitoring gives operational teams the evidence they need to protect services, reduce uncertainty, and respond faster when GNSS or timing sources become unreliable.
