GPS time is a time scale maintained by the atomic clocks of satellites and ground control stations of the Global Positioning System (GPS). It consists of a count of weeks and seconds of the week since 0 hours (midnight) Sunday 6 January 1980. GPS time is a continuous time scale and does not adjust for […]

What is the GPS Clock ?
The GPS system is based on atomic clock technology. Each GPS satellite has multiple atomic clocks, synchronized to a ground-based master clock. The GPS clock provides everyone on Earth with access to atomic time standards without needing a local atomic clock. GPS time transfer accuracy is within 40 nanoseconds of UTC. Electronic Clocks – Low […]
GPS Network Time Server For Accurate Network Synchronization
The Global Positioning System’s intended function is to provide a global system for location and navigation. It is primarily aimed at marine navigation, although it is also commonly used in consumer car sat-nav appliances. However, GPS Time Servers are a fundamental part of today’s internet infrastructure and also many corporate networks. They synchronize the processes […]
A Guide To GPS NTP Servers For Network Time Synchronization
GPS NTP Servers are computer devices that obtain very accurate time from the GPS satellite system in order to precisely synchronize the clocks of computers over a network. The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to transfer time to servers, workstations and network infrastructure, such as routers and switches. Indeed, any hardware that utilizes NTP […]
