How Resilient PNT is Used in Cybersecurity 11/01/2021

How Resilient PNT is Used in Cybersecurity Cybersecurity is a hot topic today. Hackers are always looking to undermine our network connections and we are always trying to protect against them. What role does PNT play? /episode/index/show/orolia/id/21007439

What Time is it? It's a Matter of Trust 10/22/2021

What Time is it? It's a Matter of Trust Time synchronization is the ability for all clocks to have the same time. But what time is it? If your time synchronization deployment uses time from the internet, your organization may be at risk. /episode/index/show/orolia/id/20904413

What Are LEO Satellites and Why Are They Good for PNT? 10/12/2021

What Are LEO Satellites and Why Are They Good for PNT? GPS and other GNSS operating in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) are the primary domain for Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) services. But these signals are weak and subject to interference, both intentional and unintentional. /episode/index/show/orolia/id/20792030

How to Protect Your NTP Server from Cyberattacks Keeping accurate time is fundamental to many cybersecurity applications. We summarize a few best practices to reduce the risk of attack. /episode/index/show/orolia/id/20575697

What is a Leap Second and How Does It Affect Me? 09/08/2021

What is a Leap Second and How Does It Affect Me? A recent decision will keep the leap second around until at least 2023. Understand the leap second vulnerability and plan ahead for the next leap second so that your applications will continue to operate smoothly. /episode/index/show/orolia/id/20408747

Top 5 Resilient PNT Applications for Federal Year-End Funds in 2021 08/23/2021

Top 5 Resilient PNT Applications for Federal Year-End Funds in 2021 The federal fiscal year end is fast approaching, and 2021 may see an increase in end of year funds due to COVID-related procurement delays. As you explore the best use of year end funds, here are the top Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) applications government program managers and systems integrators invest in for improved performance, security and mission success. /episode/index/show/orolia/id/20235542

Encrypted GPS M-Code: It’s Here, and It’s Critical 08/01/2021

Encrypted GPS M-Code: It’s Here, and It’s Critical Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), particularly the US Global Positioning System (GPS), are an ever-present feature of modern life. However, they provide much more than simply the positional information that most people associate them with, and which anyone with a GPS-enabled smartphone is aware of. /episode/index/show/orolia/id/19995296

NTP vs. SNTP: What’s the Difference? 07/08/2021

NTP vs. SNTP: What’s the Difference? (And Which One Do You Really Need?) NTP (Network Time Protocol) and SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) are similar TCP/IP protocols in that they use the same time packet from a Time Server message to compute accurate time. The procedure used by the Time Server to assemble and send out a time stamp is exactly the same whether NTP (i.e., full implementation NTP) is used, or SNTP is used. /episode/index/show/orolia/id/19744283
