Viavi Solutions Inc. VIAV has launched the µPNT GDO-1000, an ultra-compact Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-disciplined oscillator designed for applications where size, weight and power efficiency are critical. The solution is specifically developed for defense platforms, unmanned systems, communications equipment and data centers that require highly accurate timing under strict space and power constraints.
Viavi’s new oscillator is a compact timing device, measuring just 22mm x 42mm and weighing less than four grams. It delivers dual-frequency L1/L5 GNSS reception and can maintain precise timing even when satellite signals are disrupted. It consumes only about half a watt of power and incorporates AI- and ML-based algorithms to compensate for environmental changes, helping ensure consistent performance in demanding conditions.
The product uses Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology to deliver reliable operation across a wide range of military operating temperatures and challenging environments. It can also connect to external timing sources, including M-Code GPS and other navigation systems, without hardware modifications, while supporting multiple timing inputs and outputs for seamless integration across various platforms and applications.
As demand grows for smaller, more power-efficient and reliable timing solutions, Viavi is well-positioned to benefit from this trend. The company's latest innovation strengthens its presence in the precision timing market and is likely to support long-term growth as communications and defense technologies continue to advance.
