The modern power grid relies heavily on precise timing, largely provided by the Global Positioning System (GPS). However, this dependence exposes a vulnerability to both natural and adversarial threats. Experts increasingly agree on the necessity to diversify our timing sources. Beyond mere redundancy, the focus is on resilience: the capacity to anticipate, withstand, and recover from disruptions. By embracing alternative timing solutions, we can fortify our grids against GPS-related risks. This ensures uninterrupted, efficient and secure power distribution.

Advanced terrestrial timing solutions mark a significant shift in grid synchronization and address the issue of power infrastructure being solely reliant on GPS. Instead of relying on a singular time source, these systems utilize a combination of terrestrial and aerial technologies, creating a diversified, resilient foundation. This interconnected structure not only offers redundancy and precision but also fortifies against possible interruptions. With this transformation, we move closer to a future of resilient and fail-safe power distribution systems.

At the heart of this initiative is Precision Time Protocol (PTP) timing and a suite of associated technologies tailored for diverse transmission scenarios. Whether it’s terrestrial networks, 5G, satellite systems, or advanced AI-enhanced grid sensor analytics, the solution range is wide. Collaboration with esteemed entities, from NIST to WAPA, further advances the reliability of these innovations.
