Precision Clocks for Resilient Timing in GNSS Denied Environments
 
Date: August 26, 2021
Sponsored Content by: Microchip
 
Summary: Today’s society has ubiquitous dependence on GNSS. Consequently, resilient positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) in GNSS- denied environments has become critically important.

During this webinar, Microchip will focus on the importance of local time sources as a key contributor to resilient PNT.
