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 Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Consequently, resilient position, navigation and timing (PNT) in GNSS denied environments has become critically important. Jamming—either unintentional or malicious—and spoofing incidents present challenges to systems that have come to rely on an always-available GNSS signal. During this webinar, Microchip will focus on the importance of local time sources as a key contributor to resilient PNT.
