Key solutions at a glance

BlueSky GNSS Firewall

BlueSky is the flagship GNSS security solution and can be deployed inline between the GNSS antenna and timing server or as a dedicated monitoring appliance. It protects ePRTC and PRTC deployments against malicious or faulty satellite signals. 

ePRTC (Enhanced Primary Reference Time Clock)

Provides trusted timing even when GNSS is unavailable. Protection against GNSS outages and spoofing and autonomous cesium-based timescale.

TimeProvider 4500

TimeProvider 4500 Grandmaster includes extensive cybersecurity features including network security, timing security, and GNSS protection. 

Trusted Time Architecture (vPRTC)

Microchip’s Virtual Primary Reference Time Clock (vPRTC) architecture reduces dependence on GNSS by distributing trusted time over terrestrial fiber networks.

SyncServer S600/S650

SyncServer S600/S650 offers secure enterprise timing infrastructure while maintaining high-capacity NTP/PTP performance.
