GPSPatron seeks to protect critical infrastructure

June 30, 2021 - By

GPSPatron is offering products and services to protect equipment, particularly GNSS-dependent critical infrastructure. Its GP-Probe TGE2 is designed to protect time servers against threats including spoofing, jamming, ionospheric scintillation and system errors. An embedded PPS phase-error measurement function enables reliable monitoring of the time server’s health by measuring the time offset between internal and external PPS. The GP-Probe, in conjunction... read more

Many technologies can help GNSS, but few can replace it

June 30, 2021 - By

Alternative. Complementary. Backup. Co-primary. These are some of the terms used to refer to sources of positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) data other than GNSS satellites. The four current GNSS constellations — supplemented by two regional ones and by public and private augmentation systems — have firmly established themselves as the primary source of PNT data by virtue of their accuracy, reliability,... read more

Editorial Advisory Board PNT Q&A: Promising alternatives to GNSS

June 30, 2021 - By

What is the most promising development or project in alternative PNT? “PNT from LEO (low-Earth orbit) satellites offers the most immediate alternative to GNSS because the signals are ~30 dB or more stronger, reducing jamming vulnerability. With these new constellations being launched to improve communications, PNT services can ‘piggyback’ on the secure two-way links and avoid spoofing attacks as well.... read more
