Timing Multi-GNSS Receiver Module Model GT-100 NEW

Features

• Support major global GNSS constellations (L1, L5)

  They support GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS and SBAS systems worldwide.
  Users can select specific satellite constellations or utilize all simultaneously, making it ideal for globally deployed applications such as 5G mobile base stations, as well as for robust infrastructure needs in broadcasting, power, and finance. It supports dual band reception with L5 band less affected by ionospheric delay.

• Deliver clock outputs and 1PPS synchronized with UTC

  They deliver high-resolution, UTC-synchronized 1PPS timing signals.
  It also supports clock output, with three configurable outputs assignable to 1PPS or clock signals.
  It directly generates essential frequencies such as 10 MHz, 2.048 MHz, 19.2 MHz, and 30.72 MHz, commonly used in wireless communications.
  This flexibility helps shorten time-to-market and enhances your product’s competitiveness.

• The world's highest level of stability of less than 4.5ns (1σ) under open sky

  In addition to improvements in carrier smoothing and optimization of positioning calculations between satellites, the receiver incorporates an industry-leading time estimation algorithm for GNSS time synchronization, achieving world-class time stability.

• Compliant with G.8272 PRTC-A and PRTC-B

  Compliant with TDEV (Time Deviation) /MTIE (Max Time Interval Error).
  Exceeds the most stringent requirements in 5G networks.
  
  
  The above results show the timing performance when operating GT-100 using only L1 band.

• High robustness with dual-band reception on L1 and L5

  By receiving dual-band, GT-100 is equipped with a function that allows operation using only the L5 band when L1 is jammed, and only the L1 band when L5 is jammed, providing high robustness against jamming.
  Even when receiving only L1 or only L5 signals, it achieves a time stability of less than 4.5 ns (1σ).

• World's lowest accuracy degradation in harsh urban multipath environments

  GNSS timing receivers are increasingly being used in urban environments.
  With the technology, "Dynamic Satellite Selection™*", which intelligently selects high-quality satellite signals, timing performance degradation is minimized even in urban areas where multipath signals are present.
  This ensures reliable operation even when installed at base stations in cities.
  
  * Multipath resistance technology based on an algorithm developed by NTT
   

  
  The above results show the timing performance when operating GT-100 using only L1 band.

  Positioning Error Between GT-100 and Company A's GNSS Receiver and the Antenna Installation Point
  For GNSS receivers, a position error of 1 meter can cause about 3ns of timing error.
  When the position error exceeds 20 meters, the timing error becomes significant and can no longer be ignored.
  

• Anti-Jamming, Anti-Spoofing

  GT-100 mitigate the effects of jamming signals automatically and to provide real-time notification to the user of the jamming signal frequency and signal strength.
  It enhance sreceiver security and identify the source of jamming during the operational phase of a customer's system.
  It also implements a detailed algorithm to verify the correctness of GNSS signals and can detect and eliminate spurious signals that are not broadcast from the satellites. It is equipped with a function that allows operation using only L5 band when L1 is jammed, and only L1 band when L5 is jammed, providing enhanced robustness against jamming.

  Signal strength transition when strong jamming is applied to the L1 band.

• Short term holdover

  Interruption of GNSS satellite signals is a major concern during operation of critical infrastructure systems.
  GT-100 supports short term holdover, which maintains constant performance even if GNSS satellite signals are interrupted for a short period of time.

• External clock input

  Interruption of GNSS satellite signals is a major concern during operation of critical infrastructure systems.
  GT-100 supports short term holdover, which maintains constant performance even if GNSS satellite signals are interrupted for a short period of time.

• Carrier Grade Quality, Suitable for critical infrastructure applications

  Compared to conventional GNSS receivers for time synchronization, Furuno's new GNSS receivers are substantially more robust (i.e., they are not affected by most disruptions and thus ensure continuous service).
  Such enhanced features give users a high level of confidence in fields that require high reliability, such as 5G mobile base stations, financial transactions, and power grids.
