VIAVI Solutions Unveils Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing from Jackson Labs
Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAV) has launched the PNT-6200 Series Assured Reference, enhancing resilience in positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT). This solution, stemming from VIAVI's acquisition of Jackson Labs Technologies in November 2022, targets telecommunications, avionics, and military markets. The PNT-6200 aims to safeguard critical infrastructure from threats like GPS spoofing and jamming, providing various timing source integrations including Low Earth Orbit and atomic clock services. The product will debut at MWC Barcelona from February 27 to March 2, 2023.
- Launch of PNT-6200 Series enhances resilience in positioning and timing.
- Addresses vulnerabilities in GPS, increasing security for critical infrastructure.
- Integration of diverse timing sources enhances operational reliability.
- None.
As networks become dependent on disaggregated, cloud-native architectures, traditional methods of positioning and timing become less reliable. Concurrently, they are increasingly susceptible to threats of spoofing and jamming. GPS, the most widely used timing and geolocation system, uses low-power radio signals that are easily jammed or spoofed, often inadvertently. These issues can disrupt operations in a range of environments, from aircraft instrument landing systems to timing and synchronization in mobile networks.
The PNT-6200 Series Assured Reference provides maximum resiliency for critical infrastructure dependent on positioning and timing. This compact system can supplement or even replace GPS signals based on connectivity to the broadest range of timing sources in the market, including Low Earth Orbit (LEO), GNSS, commercial satellite, terrestrial, wireline, and atomic clock services. When plugged directly into the antenna port of the timing receiver, the PNT-6200 Series takes the timing signal from the most reliable source and converts it to a radio frequency (RF) signal as a direct replacement for the GPS input, seamlessly enabling continuous operation.
With Private 5G emerging as a major focus for enterprises, resilient PNT will be critical to enable efficient deployment and robust cybersecurity. When installing 5G systems indoors via microcells, access to GPS for timing synchronization and E911 positioning purposes becomes difficult or impossible, and placing an antenna on the roof of the building may not be feasible. With indoor reception, and fully GNSS-independent timing and positioning capability world-wide, the small form factor and diversity of signal sources enable the PNT-6200 Series to effectively address these challenges.
"Almost immediately after we joined VIAVI, we have been able to take advantage of the superior scale of the company, from sales force to supply chain," said Said Jackson, Founder,
