In the power generation industry, accurate time-keeping by supervisory control systems is of utmost importance. Operational failures can propagate rapidly across plant systems and trigger a chain ...

Here on Earth, it might not matter if your wristwatch runs a few seconds slow. But crucial spacecraft functions need accuracy down to one billionth of a second or less. Navigating with GPS, for ...

Adva has extended the capabilities of its compact Oscilloquartz PTP timing technology to enable power utility and broadcast networks to achieve sub-microsecond synchronization. Now electricity ...

Precision time is ubiquitous today thanks to GPS and WWVB. Even your Macbook or smartphone displays time which is synchronized to the NIST-F1 clock, a cesium fountain atomic clock (aka the ‘Atomic ...

The most precise timekeepers ever made, atomic clocks, might one day help robotic and crewed missions on Mars stay in sync with each other, as well as enable the equivalent of GPS on the red planet.

Time synchronization of sensor nodes is critical for optimal operation of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Since clocks incorporated into each node tend to drift, recurrent corrections are required.

We’ve gotten used to the fact that the clocks on our internet-connected computers and smartphones are always telling the right time. Time servers, provided by a variety of government agencies as well ...
