Time & Frequency Systems Solutions for Defense Communications

Some of the most demanding timing applications are in defense communications because the environment is the harshest, the need for accuracy is the greatest and the price of failure is the highest. Coupled with massive deployment of GNSS as a timing source for synchronizing wired and wireless telecommunications networks, the industry faces security risks to a point where governments, major telecommunications/mobile operators and enterprises are now urgently looking to protect their networks against regional GNSS issues, as well as the potential of a global GNSS outage.

Microsemi provides reliable, secure and scalable components and complete timing systems to support the mission critical communication networks of the U.S. government and its allies. Microsemi’s Enhanced Primary Reference Time Clock (ePRTC) architecture is engineered to enable network operators to implement a synchronization network that is resilient to GNSS vulnerabilities of any magnitude. Microsemi's Hydrogen, Cesium and Rubidium standards and quartz oscillators support the strategic communications needs of the US defense community as well as tactical communications deployments that require compact, light and low-power-consumption systems. Innovations like the Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC) enable even the individual soldier to gain lifesaving timing and frequency advantages whether on foot or in a vehicle.
