GNSS Receivers

Protempis offers an existing line up of GNSS timing modules that provides GNSS receiver and PRTC function to be integrated with network equipment. Protempis’s  ICM 720 and RES 720 GNSS receivers provide a dual band multi-constellation secured resilient timing and act as primary reference time clock (PRTC) for precision time distribution in a network. It is the key component to receive and convert the UTC time from GNSS signals. The RES 720 GNSS receiver combines PRTC and LNA (low noise amplifier) circuits as an external standalone device or as an internal board or module, and the ICM 720 also offers a programable 10 MHz frequency output.

​Additionally, Protempis offers a GNSS receiver integrated with the antenna into an IP67 weatherproof enclosure. Protempis’s Acutime 360 product provides the UTC traceability output in the form of 1PPS and TOD signals to a device requiring UTC time that is up to 1 km from the deployment site.

​Protempis also engages with customers to develop custom GNSS receiver solutions. Our GNSS custom receivers and Acutime solutions are used by world’s leading networking and Base Station equipment manufacturers. Protempis’s GNSS receivers timing modules make it easier for OEM suppliers to develop their own solutions for 5G, Autonomous Vehicles and Smart Grid environments.

The ICM 720 is designed to provide a precise time pulse for the synchronization of 4G/5G base stations, or other systems requiring a precise pulse-per-second (PPS) output. Its 19x19mm surface-mount package makes it ideal for embedding into your host solution. When operating in Over-Determined Timing Mode, the accuracy of pulse per second (PPS) is within 5 nanoseconds of GNSS/UTC. Additionally, the ICM 720 timing module includes many of Protempis’s standard timing features, including Timing Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitor (TRAIM) algorithm, automatic self-survey, and GNSS disciplining of the oscillator to provide an accurate frequency reference.

 KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • Dual-band multi-constellation 

  • Capability, ICM720 reduces the timing error under clear skies to < 10 nanoseconds

  • Without the need for an external GNSS correction service

  • The ICM 720 also offers a 10 MHz frequency output.
