Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) announces the availability of the SecurePNT™ 6200 with SecureTime.SM The service is a resilient timing clock solution that provides comprehensive coverage for positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services used in critical infrastructure operations around the world. SecurePNT and SecureTime are built on VIAVI's proven and reliable PNT solution with the addition of Fugro AtomiChron.®Timing service. Enables intelligent zero-trust multi-source assurance that combines signals from geostationary orbit (GEO), low earth orbit (LEO), and medium earth orbit (MEO) GPS and GNSS constellations.
Critical networks around the world, including 5G communications, transportation, energy, public safety, finance, defense, and data centers, rely on publicly available GPS and GNSS signals for timing and location-based synchronization. These signals are sometimes unavailable, are at risk of jamming and spoofing, and the satellite itself can be attacked, with potentially catastrophic consequences. Governments are beginning to require critical infrastructure providers to use PNT services more responsibly to improve network resiliency.
VIAVI's portfolio of assured PNT products is proven to provide redundant timing and position security in civilian and military applications based on connectivity to the broadest range of timing sources on the market.Fugro Atomicron® Timing source enables VIAVI SecureTime eGNSSSM GEO services provide true authentication and cryptographic resiliency and greater accuracy not previously supported by traditional GNSS through:
- Anti-spoofing detection and mitigation
- Certification on all GNSS satellite constellations beyond Galileo OSNMA
- encryption
- <5ns accuracy and <1ns optional timing accuracy, traceable to UTC/NIST
- The most comprehensive and cost-effective global coverage on the market
This solution features features of the VIAVI Guaranteed PNT Portfolio.
- TrustedPNT™ Sensor Fusion Technology – Fuses, weighs, compares, authenticates, and validates as many timing spatial and terrestrial sources as possible based on an intelligent zero-trust multi-source model.
- Patented µTranscoder™ – Users can quickly retrofit legacy GPS/GNSS clocks with resilient multi-source PNT clocks by simply placing the 6200 between the legacy GPS/GNSS antenna and its receiver.
- Compliance with evolving government guidance, requirements, and standards, including the DHS Resilient PNT Conformance Framework, NIST 8323.1 Cybersecurity Framework for PNT Profile, CISA Federation PNT Services Acquisition Guide, and the ongoing IEEE Resilient PNT P1952 Standard.
“We are pleased to partner with VIAVI to power our PNT solution. Time synchronization is one of the biggest challenges for critical infrastructure.” Said Roel de Vries, Business Developer AtomiChron® At Fugro. “Fuguro Atomicron”® The service improves timekeeping accuracy down to nanoseconds and uses navigation message authentication to provide protection against spoofed GNSS signals. ”
“The public and private sectors are on high alert for threats to critical infrastructure, particularly vulnerable to positioning, navigation, and timing.” Doug Russell, AvComm, VIAV Senior Vice PresidentI. “We are excited to work with market leaders at Fugro to enhance our proven and resilient PNT solution with AtomiChron.®accuracy, reliability, and worldwide availability. ”
