Keynote: Timing and Synchronization Efforts in the DHS National Risk Management Center January 15, 2026 1:00 am – 1:25 pm
Questions 3: Sector Independent – Timing Sources January 15, 2026 11:50 am – 12:00 pm
A New Timing Interface for Laboratory and Wider Area Applications January 15, 2026 11:30 am – 11:50 am Description The venerable co-axial 1PPS interface has only recently been standardised by the ITU (G.703). However it only transfers phase information at a very low rate. A ‘new’ interface is proposed that is 100% compliant with the […]
Rubidium Atomic Clocks for Wireless Mobile (5G) and Test & Measurement Applications January 15, 2026 11:10 am – 11:30 am Description Rubidium Atomic Oscillators have been an option in high-performance laboratory test equipment due to their accuracy and small size for decades. With the demanding timing requirements of next generation 5G mobile communication standards, Rubidium […]

Questions 2: Sector Independent – Timing Sources January 15, 2026 10:30 am – 10:40 am
Time for Multiband GNSS January 15, 2026 10:10 am – 10:30 am Description Until recently multi-band GNSS (L1/L2/…) has been limited to military, high precision and high-cost applications. With multi-band GNSS capability becoming mainstream and available at cost points approaching L1 devices: it can address not only for ePRTC, but also for PRTCs and even […]
Advancements in OCXO Technologies January 15, 2026 9:50 am – 10:10 am Speakers Ullas Kumar (Rakon) Description OCXOs are used as local reference clocks in telecommunication systems. Quartz-based oscillators provide best spectral purity because of its high Quality (Q) factor. Temperature stability and ageing performance of OCXOs enable them to be adequate enough for most […]
High Accuracy Network Time Transfer Links Traceable to GNSS Reference January 15, 2026 9:30 am – 9:50 am Description Ultra-accurate time transfer through optical links is now possible in the nanoseconds range thanks to technologies such as White-Rabbit. This allows complementary solutions integrating GNSS references and network time transfer links. Taking advantage these complementarity technologies […]
Keynote: Time Determination for Network Performance Analytics and Optimization January 15, 2026 9:05 am – 9:30 am Speakers Charles Barry, PhD (Luminous Cyber Corporation) Description Network performance monitoring, analysis and remediation requires accurate timestamps of events that occur across a distributed network. Root cause analysis of network impairment or congestion depends more upon when certain […]
