Where
UC Berkeley ·
Why
The u-blox ZED-F9T achieved approximately 0.7 nanosecond standard deviation between 1PPS signals over a 1-kilometer baseline, which allows for precise synchronization without costly fiber-based infrastructure.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
This advancement enables distributed instrumentation, including the PANOSETI telescope array, to achieve high timing precision in remote locations where traditional fiber-based systems are not feasible, with potential broader applications in sensor networks and critical infrastructure.
