Intelligent Repeater System - A solution for indoor location with GPS
July 29, 2015
An intelligent repeater system offers a cost-effective indoor positioning solution for GPS-denied environments. This system allows for the use of standard GPS devices for seamless transition between live sky GPS and indoor or subterranean locations to calculate position within zones defined by the number of GPS simulators.
NTP over Anycast
May 17, 2015
Spectracom time servers include an NTP over Anycast feature to greatly simplify network synchronization deployments. You can use a single server address for NTP clients while optimizing a high availability and scalable server configuration.
For the highest performance, Spectracom recommends multiple redundant GPS-based time servers at stratum-1. Similar time server appliances are deployed at stratum-2 with unicast connections to stratum-1. Then, utilize anycast routing of NTP between stratum-2 servers and all other network elements.

Geo-PNT, a valuable tool for ISR applications
March 9, 2015
The Geo-PNT is the first of its kind to combine a GPS receiver, inertial sensor, and precision oscillator to reduce SWaP in high reliability military applications such as signal intelligence and synthetic aperture radar, or anywhere where precision positioning, attitude and timing references and measurements are needed.
The Leap Second Problem
February 9, 2015
If you know about upcoming leap second on December 31, 2016, you know that a time discontinuity can cause problems with distributed computing processes. While network time protocol tells that an extra second is coming, it is up to the OS and the application to manage it in such a way that it will not disrupt the operation.
