GNSS: Enabling precise global timing
Time and timing are at the core of all GNSS constellations, which have been designed to provide three primary functions: Position, Navigation and Time (PNT). All satellites within a constellation have their clocks synchronized either to their own timing reference (GPS, Galileo, BeiDou) or to Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) (GLONASS). The navigation and the ranging messages broadcast by GNSS constellations contain information that enable users to precisely estimate the constellation time and then compute a UTC time estimate.
GNSS constellations enable precise global time distribution. Accurate and precise time synchronization has become an integral part of modern technology. Without precise time: cellular, electrical and computer networks would fail to function optimally. Calian's unique patented antennas have been designed to meet the demanding requirements of precise timing.
