From The Enterprise Blog:
Spectracom has introduced a new Anti-Jam (AJ) antenna for its GNSS-based timing systems that combats interference by limiting the antenna’s reception near the horizon. The antenna’s beam is focused at the zenith – where most of the GNSS satellites are – and away from the horizon, where most interference comes from.

Resilient PNT
The first compact, all in one resilient positioning, navigation and timing system
Never lose sight of your soldiers again. The VersaPNT combines a GNSS receiver, inertial measurement technology and high-performance timing oscillators to provide Assured PNT in GNSS-degraded and denied environments.
Lowest size, weight and power to keep all your airborne, ground and marine operations in sync and on track 24/7/365
Essential Education
What is STL?
Satellite Time and Location (STL) is a revolutionary new satellite source for precision time and position information, and is based on the Iridium® constellation of satellites. It provides an ideal backup for critical applications that rely on GPS and other GNSS signals.
See how Orolia's line of industry-leading Spectracom time servers deliver greater resilience to timing applications by adding STL to the mix of available signals, taking exclusive advantage of signal strengths 1000x stronger than GPS that can be accessed indoors, cryptographic security, and the ability to prevent intentional spoofing.

Intelligent Repeater System
Zone-based Indoor Location with GPS Simulators
Indoor positioning with standard GPS-based devices is highly desirable to seamlessly track people and assets from areas with clear-view of the sky into GPS-denied environments. Spectracom’s intelligent GPS repeater system offers a cost-effective, zone-based indoor location solution.

GPS World Webinar sponsored by Spectracom features "GNSS Simulation Application: Spoofing Testing" presentation by John FischerCoordinated Universal Time (UTC) to Retain the Leap Second
At the ITU World Radio Conference meeting in Geneva this week, it was decided that further study is required before leap seconds, affecting the official time scale, is discarded. In 2023 they will revisit the issue meaning the leap second will be around for at least 8 more years.Galileo Launch and Reprovisioning Satellites as Gravity Probes
The latest Galileo satellites (9 and 10) launched on September 11 are "performing beautifully". Satellites 5 and 6, injected into the wrong orbit by a faulty rocket a year ago, are being prepared for a new role as a gravity probe thanks to their onboard passive hydrogen maser supplied by our sister company, Spectratime.The 10th GPS IIF satellite launched July 15 from Cape Canaveral
