The flexibility you need
We offer standard products, configurable products, and product platforms that can be adapted and integrated.
On May 7, 2020 Orolia hosted the first industry discussion on the Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) Executive Order, a federal initiative to protect critical infrastructure from GPS/GNSS jamming and spoofing threats, and other disruptions to critical PNT services. These threats can deny access to, or compromise, essential PNT data that critical infrastructure needs to operate.
“We can’t afford to wait for a major PNT disruption to trigger action. Key initiatives like the PNT Executive Order provide essential awareness that these threats exist and confirm the need to respond today with proven solutions that can keep critical infrastructure running smoothly.”

The Executive Order on Resilient PNT
According to NIST, the National Institute for Standards and Technology, It is estimated that GPS/GNSS signal disruption could result in $30-$45 billion in economic losses over a 30-day period, not to mention the impact of system failure for most systems that rely on GPS signals. Today, nearly everything relies on these signals — from your mobile phone to your car’s route guidance system, up to the power grid, satellite systems and other critical infrastructure.
The important information that GPS/GNSS signals deliver is accurate Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) data, which are critical data elements required for most technologies to function today. These signals can be disrupted unintentionally by environmental conditions or intentionally with jamming and spoofing. Spoofing is often worse than jamming because a rogue actor intentionally causes the signal to deliver false information, and the system operator will not even know it’s happening.
To help mitigate these risks, on February 12, 2020 the federal government issued an Executive Order on Strengthening National Resilience through Responsible Use of Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Services.
White Paper
This white paper from C4ISRNET discusses how preparation and countermeasures can assure U.S. forces maintain critical GPS capabilities.
There will be increased emphasis on:
As the world leader in Resilient PNT solutions, Orolia is in a unique position to support the Executive Order. We can serve as an expert resource for federal agencies, critical infrastructure owners and the private sector to test PNT vulnerabilities, recommend proven Resilient PNT technologies and backup options to strengthen systems, and share best practices on continuous improvement and ongoing system monitoring.
At Orolia, we’ve been Resilient PNT experts for more than forty years, and we’re the only provider of comprehensive PNT solutions to make critical infrastructure more resilient – from testing and simulation to interference detection and mitigation (IDM), as well as resilient PNT network systems. When failure is not an option, the world’s most GPS/GNSS-reliant systems trust Orolia.
