• GNSS for Time Sync
Timing Multi-GNSS Receiver Module

Model GT-90/GT-9001
  • NEW

Achieves the world's highest stability, less than 4.5 ns (1σ), under open-sky conditions, with a L1 single band receiver

A next-generation GNSS receiver module for time synchronization, compatible with all global GNSS systems. They support widely used L1 antennas, making it ideal for cost-sensitive applications and seamless upgrades from existing systems. GT-9001 offers three outputs: high-stability 1PPS and customizable clock signals. GT-90 is a basic model providing only high-stabiliy 1PPS. Both models achieve timing stability under 4.5 ns (1σ), rivaling multi-band receivers. Equipped with NTT's anti-multipath algorithm, "Dynamic Satellite Selection™", they minimize timing degradation even when GNSS antennas are placed near windows or in urban environments.

Features

Support major global GNSS constellations

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.

Deliver clock outputs and 1PPS synchronized with UTC

They deliver high-resolution, UTC-synchronized 1PPS timing signals.
GT-9001 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

By enhancing carrier smoothing and optimizing positioning calculations across satellites, these L1 single band receivers achieve timing stability comparable to multi-band receivers. It incorporates an industry-leading positioning algorithm specifically designed for GNSS time synchronization applications.

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. GT-90/9001 offers the same high level of performance.

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.

The above results show the timing performance when operating GT-100 using only L1 band. GT-90/9001 offers the same high level of performance.

Anti-Jamming, Anti-Spoofing

The modules mitigate the effects of jamming signals automatically and to provide real-time notification to the user of the jamming signal frequency and signal strength.
They enhance receiver security and identify the source of jamming during the operational phase of a customer's system.
They also implement a detailed algorithm to verify the correctness of GNSS signals and can detect and eliminate spurious signals that are not broadcast from the satellites.

Authentication feature (OSNMA/QZNMA)

Authentication messages from Galileo (European GNSS) and QZSS (Japan's Quasi-Zenith Satellite System) confirm the authenticity of navigation messages, strengthening resistance to spoofing attacks.

Short term holdover (GT-9001)

Interruption of GNSS satellite signals is a major concern during operation of critical infrastructure systems.
GT-9001 supports short term holdover, which maintains constant performance even if GNSS satellite signals are interrupted for a short period of time.

External clock input (GT-9001)

Interruption of GNSS satellite signals is a major concern during operation of critical infrastructure systems.
GT-9001 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.

Sophisticated built-in security

Including secure boot and secure firmware update ensures maximum protection against tampering.

Enhance performance in combination with recommended antenna
