The TimeSource Enhanced PRTC (ePRTC) is designed to meet the newly consented ITU-T Recommendation G.8272.1 for enhanced Primary Reference Time Clocks and provides a unique solution to help protect telecom and mobile networks against GNSS vulnerabilities. Using an innovative approach to "generate time" by producing its own timescale which is driven by high performance Cesium frequency standards and aligned with GNSS time, the TimeSource ePRTC delivers an autonomous, secure and fault tolerant reference for time, phase and frequency synchronization.
Mitigates Threat of GNSS Vulnerabilities
The threat of GNSS vulnerabilities has become real in that events (signal anomalies, regional disruptions and even global outages) have already occurred. Governments across the globe are now asking their primary network infrastructure providers for a plan and solution for how they plan to defend against this serious threat. The TimeSource ePRTC delivers a unique solution that goes far beyond mitigating the threat of GNSS and instead enables an operator to deploy an autonomous time source that is impervious to GNSS anomalies and outages.
