The growing reliance on critical infrastructure has increased the need for resilient timing solutions. Key sectors like telecommunications, energy, defense, and finance require accurate and reliable timing for smooth operations. As Global Positioning System (GPS) becomes more widely used for time synchronization and navigation, concerns about vulnerabilities such as jamming, spoofing, and signal disruptions have risen. To address these issues, Assured PNT systems, which provide resilience and redundancy, have become crucial. These systems incorporate various technologies, including multi-source assurance and zero-trust models, to ensure continued functionality even if one timing or positioning source fails.

For instance, In May 2024, Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) launched the SecurePNT 6200 with SecureTime services, a robust timing clock solution. This system provides comprehensive assurance for positioning, navigation, and timing services, which are crucial for global infrastructure operations. Building on VIAVI's existing PNT solutions, SecurePNT and SecureTime incorporate the Fugro AtomiChron timing service. This integration enables intelligent, zero-trust, multisource assurance by using signals from various satellite orbits, including as well as GPS and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) constellations.

The assured PNT market is evolving to offer more robust, secure, and integrated solutions. This change addresses the growing reliance on GPS and GNSS technologies in critical infrastructure, defense, telecommunications, and new applications like self-driving cars and smart cities. To combat weaknesses such as spoofing and jamming, the industry is moving towards multi-source assurance. This approach blends signals from different GNSS constellations (GEO, MEO, LEO), ground-based enhancements, and zero-trust security models. As our world becomes more connected, the need for backup systems and strong cybersecurity is driving the adoption of these technologies. Uninterrupted and precise PNT services are vital for smooth operations, safety, and national security.
