  UPCOMING WEBINAR
 
Precision Clocks for Resilient Timing in GNSS-Denied Environments
 
Date: August 26, 2021
Sponsored Content by: Microchip
 
Summary: Today’s society has ubiquitous dependence on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Consequently, resilient position, navigation and timing (PNT) in GNSS-denied environments has become critically important. Jamming—either unintentional or malicious—and spoofing incidents present challenges to systems that have come to rely on an always-available GNSS signal. During this webinar, Microchip will focus on the importance of local time sources as a key contributor to resilient PNT.
