It’s easy to take GPS for granted, because we use it every day and it works so well. But what if someone interfered with the reliability and accuracy of GPS on which we depend?

WEBINARS

Precision Clocks for Resilient Timing in GNSS Denied Environments

Date: August 26, 2021
Time: 1 p.m. EDT | 12 a.m. CDT | 10 a.m. PDT
Duration: 60 minutes
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. 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.
