VIAVI Introduces Groundbreaking Edge Grandmaster Clock for PNT
VIAVI Unveils Cutting-Edge EdgeGM 7000 for PNT Resilience
VIAVI Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAV) has launched a revolutionary product called EdgeGM™ 7000, expanding their SecurePNT portfolio. This innovative solution addresses critical challenges in Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) services essential for various infrastructures globally. It features an advanced Edge Grandmaster Clock designed to deliver up to 25G Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and a multi-orbit altGNSS, facilitating robust synchronization crucial for operations that depend heavily on timing and location.
Addressing Security Challenges in Critical Infrastructure
As technological advancements evolve, so do the threats facing critical infrastructure. Systems like telecommunications, defense networks, and energy grids are increasingly vulnerable to disruption. These risks stem from reliance on public GPS and GNSS signals that can be jammed or spoofed. Governments are actively pushing for improved resilience in the networks that govern these vital services.
The Importance of multiorbit Solutions
VIAVI’s SecurePNT and SecureTime services offer unparalleled resilience by integrating multiple signal sources. Utilizing GNSS-dependent government signals alongside independent commercial constellations from different Earth Orbit levels, this system enhances reliability. The EdgeGM 7000 is distinguished by its compact design, fitting a half 19” wide and only 1U height in a rack-mountable format, making it both powerful and versatile for customer needs.
Advanced Features of EdgeGM 7000
The EdgeGM 7000 not only meets but exceeds Level 4 PNT resiliency as defined by IEEE standards. It boasts impressive scalability, allowing users to upgrade from 1/10G to 25G PTP seamlessly through a simple licensing process. Additionally, clients can activate GNSS backup as needed, enhancing operational flexibility. This progressive design ensures that organizations are better prepared for future challenges in PNT services.
