Description

Multipurpose Positioning, Navigation and Timing monitoring station

• Multi-purpose equipment that allows monitoring and verification of Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) equipment and systems in real time.
• European Space Agency tested technology.
• Timing accuracy evaluated against best atomic clocks in National Metrology Laboratory (e.g., National Standard Authority of Ireland).
• Anti-spoofing and anti-jamming functionality with possibility to detect and/or reject false signals.
• Best in class accuracy allowing to monitor any time & sync equipment (ePRTC, PRTC-A/B, NTP/PTP servers) with accuracy below 10 ns.
• Configurable monitoring and alert system integrated in Grafana.
• Simple installation and integration.

 

You can choose from multiple options:

• single, or dual setup, where dual setup adds a complete redundancy and removes single point of failure
• different GNSS receiver manufacturer (u-blox’s ZED-F9T or Septentrio’s mosaic-T)
• Ethernet, or ethernet plus LTE mobile broadband backup

 

Integrity and Security

• Real-time detection and rejection of false Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals (anti-spoofing).
• Protecting all constellations (GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, GLONASS) and all signal bands (L1/E1, L2/E5b, L5/E5a).
• Anti-jamming – maintains the best performance under single band jamming events.

 

Immunity to GNSS Anomalies

• System design can deal with GNSS failures on a system or satellite level ensuring uninterrupted operation for mission-critical applications.
• Able to avoid GNSS system anomalies, such as GPS UTC anomaly from January 2016.
• Early detection of system failures, such as the Galileo week-long outage from 2019.

 

Regulatory compliance

• Provision of real-time traceability to UTC(k) to facilitate relevant compliance with regulation: MiFID II, NIS2 Directive, DORA, FINRA.

 

Operational Resiliency

• Two identical and completely independent units (1U rack only).
• 2x antenna, 2x GNSS receiver (all constellations, all signals), 2x CPU, 2x Power source
• Passive cooling!

 

Security by Design

• SSH access through local management port (USB interface) or SSH remotely over Ethernet port.
• All communication encrypted with TLS v1.3.
• Post-quantum cryptography compliant.

 

Reference System Resiliency

• At least two identical and completely independent systems.
• Power source backed-up by UPS and diesel generator.
• 4 different internet connections (three independent optical fibers and mobile LTE backup).
• Reference data generation setup replicated in different EU countries (IE, CZ, BiH, NL)
