GNSS/GPS-backup-as-a-service

Critical network infrastructure is increasingly dependent on precise synchronization and timing. As operators address this need by adding GNSS receivers across their geographically dispersed networks, their infrastructure becomes more and more vulnerable to jamming and spoofing attacks. GNSS/GPS-backup-as-a-service (GBaaS) makes them independent from GNSS. With GBaaS, a specialized service provider operates a robust and reliable network, delivering precise and secure timing to critical infrastructure as a backup to highly vulnerable GNSS.

Infrastructure for resilient and assured PNT services is complex. It comprises multiple technologies and is frequently implemented across a large geographical area. Sophisticated management tools are needed to simplify operations and enable proactive fault mitigation. ADVA Ensemble Controller and Sync Director utilize both our unique Syncjack™ timing assurance technology and AI-/ML-assisted predictive maintenance, helping to prevent failures before they can impact PNT services.

PNT services are fundamental to the resilient and efficient operations of many critical infrastructure sectors. But PNT capabilities are not among their key competences. That’s why governmental bodies are responding to the increasing risk of critical infrastructure depending on GNSS as its only source for PNT services with regulations and requirements. GBaaS offers the opportunity to source mission-critical PNT services from an experienced specialist service provider. As such GBaaS is a highly efficient strategy for critical infrastructure operators for GNSS vulnerability mitigation, enabling resilient and robust operations and meeting the most recent PNT regulations.
