Who Should Read This White Paper? Network and System EngineersNetwork and System ArchitectsNetwork and System AdministratorsDirectors/Managers of IT InfrastructureCTOs By Pritam Kandel Introduction Network time service is not something many businesses think about as a key component of their critical infrastructures. In fact, it is often overlo...

Which clock is used as the reference for all other clocks How to transfer the time from the reference clock to all other clocks The solution is to use a master clock as your reference. Master clock systems are used in a wide variety of applications and industries including aerospace and defence, broadcast, radio and telecom, network systems, financ...

Every day, all of us use this little technological miracle called GPS to take advantage of precise and trustable position, navigation and timing (PNT), all over the world. More than 2,000 billion Euros of critical infrastructures around the world are directly dependent upon GPS every day – including public and private, aerospace and defense, smart ...

By Robyn Federman, Head of Global Commercial Marketing for Orolia Most think of GPS as simply a way to get directions from their smartphone, or to tell a friend where they're hanging out. Those of us who develop resilient positioning, navigation and timing solutions (PNT) for a living know that there's a lot more to it. GPS generates about $1.4 tri...

By David Sohn, Solution Architect (And Which One Do You Really Need?) NTP (Network Time Protocol) and SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) are similar TCP/IP protocols in that they use the same time packet from a Time Server message to compute accurate time. The procedure used by the Time Server to assemble and send out a time stamp is exactly the s...

By Ron Dries, Applications Engineer Monitoring and managing PNT devices that can be spread across the globe can be challenging. It is also necessary to ensure the devices are configured and running properly. In certain applications, there could also be the need to schedule a task or automate some functionality of a PNT device. The built-in web GUI ...

By David Sohn, Solution Architect A leap second is a discontinuity in the world's official timescale and is a risk for those developing and maintaining GPS/GNSS systems and/or managing a time synchronization deployment. The last leap second occurred on December 31, 2016. This blog is to help you understand the leap second vulnerability and plan ahe...

Nearly 200 SecureSync® Time Synchonization Servers for U.S. Enroute Radar Systems Background FAA employs a variety of radar types for short-, medium- and long-range air traffic control requirements. Those different radars require different types of timing signals and outputs to suit their operations. Orolia was selected by the FAA for this competit...

Now your digital clocks don't have to be just used to show time, they can also show daily messages like news and event reminders. In a crisis situation, you can deliver critical information to the areas that need to know. Digital Clock Messaging is an advanced, powerful communication platform that delivers better communication and productivity thro...

What Is NTP Over Anycast? NTP (Network Time Protocol) over Anycast mode is a software technology that allows two (or more) NTP servers to sync clients via a single IP address. NTP is a packet network-based synchronization protocol to sync a client clock to a network master clock. Anycast is a networking methodology using standard routing protocols ...

As demand for accurate positioning grows globally and spreads across various industries, there are initiatives being taken to offer new signals and services accessible via GNSS satellites. Some such services are already being tested in 2021. The time frame and value of these upcoming services can be difficult to decipher because of the large number...

Recent webinars have focused on a variety of proven, resilient technologies to combat GNSS and PNT vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure. In this webinar, we will focus on how PNT monitoring can further protect critical systems from these vulnerabilities through continuous monitoring and improvement. Similar to cybersecurity for network system...

In today's modern network infrastructure, millions of dollars are spent to ensure that networks are reliable, highly available, and most of all, secure! Cybersecurity has emerged as the critical area in all facets of the internet, yet still, there are often-overlooked areas which can degrade security measures meant to protect. One such example is t...

By Tyler Hohman, Director of Products, Orolia Defense & Security Most in our industry are aware of the threat that GPS interference poses, both in the US and overseas. GPS jamming is commonplace. Spoofing, however, is different than jamming in that it can be utilized in a far more devious manner. Both jamming and spoofing have a common goal – t...

Network cybersecurity is top of mind these days for both government agencies and commercial enterprise. As the heart of network synchronization, time and frequency systems should include a standard suite of security features that give network administrators confidence in the cybersecurity protocols of their time servers. This is our philosophy at O...

Network experts already know that distributing the correct time is key to maintaining their critical infrastructure programs. However, keeping accurate time is also fundamental to many cybersecurity applications. Certificates have an expiration date attached to them, and system logs frequently contain time stamps that operators rely on for diagnosi...

When: Thursday, September 12, 2019  At: 1:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time Join John Fischer, Omer Sharar, and John Pottle as they describe common threats rot GPS/GNSS signals as well as solutions to detect and mitigate interference such as jamming and spoofing for critical systems. You'll hear from industry experts who will present commercial and ...
