Timing as a ServiceSM

Resilient timing for critical infrastructure

Resilient timing, when and where you need it

GPS timing solutions lack the resilience, reach, and flexibility many of today’s critical infrastructure providers require.

NextNav Timing as a Service℠, also referred to as TaaS℠, fills in the coverage gaps left by GPS timing, providing reliable service indoors and in dense urban areas with a broadcast signal 100,000x stronger than GPS.

With the capability to operate independently of GPS, NextNav TaaS℠ also provides a resilient option for critical infrastructure providers to fall back on when outages impact GPS clocks around the world.

Tested and proven

  • In a US Department of Transportation study of eleven GPS alternatives, NextNav’s Timing as a Service℠ outperformed every solution, ranking #1 in every category.
  • With accuracy to 20 nanoseconds, TaaS℠ delivers high precision timing for any use case.
  • NextNav Timing as a Service℠ is mission ready, with a NIST TRL of 8.

No external antenna required

Since it works indoors, Timing as a Service doesn’t involve the hassle and expense of mounting external antennas on top of high-rise buildings.

Works indoors and in urban areas

Works indoors and in urban areas

GPS signals are too weak to penetrate buildings, which often leads to availability and performance issues in dense urban areas.  The terrestrial signal of NextNav TerraPoiNT is 100,000 times stronger than GPS, providing reliable timing indoors and in urban areas.

Independent from GPS

Independent from GPS

Unlike some other timing solutions, NextNav’s Timing as a Service can operate completely independent from GPS, providing a reliable backup when GPS is down.
