ASSURED TIMING FOR 5G, GOVERNMENT, AND MISSION-CRITICAL NETWORKS
Deliver precise, resilient timing across existing packet networks
Precise timing is now a strategic network requirement.
As operators expand 5G standalone, private 5G, edge, and mission-critical services, synchronization must remain accurate, resilient, and operationally assured across increasingly complex transport environments.
Conventional timing approaches do not scale well.
Net Insight offers a different model: transport-independent synchronization that extends assured timing across existing packet networks, improves GNSS resilience, reduces infrastructure dependency, lowers total cost of ownership, and provides centralized observability, control, and service assurance.

FAQ
What is time synchronization?
Time synchronization is the process of making sure that clocks in different systems, devices, or networks all show the same, precise time. In telecom and IT, this is critical for ensuring data is transmitted in the right order, networks run reliably, and services for mobile networks, financial transactions, or industrial operations function without errors. Time can be synchronized using sources like GNSS (GPS) or distributed through network-based synchronization.
What is GNSS used for in networks?
GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems, such as GPS, Galileo or GLONASS) is widely used in telecom and IT networks to provide a precise and trusted time source. Accurate timing is essential for synchronizing critical networks like mobile networks, power grids, and supporting critical services such as financial transactions and broadcasting. GNSS for time is accurate and widely used. However, GNSS signals are weak and vulnerable to interference like jamming, spoofing or meaconing. Because of this, networks can complement GNSS with alternative or backup timing solutions to ensure resilience and security.
How does GPS time synchronization work?
GPS time synchronization works by using signals from GPS satellites, providing accurate time. A GPS receiver on the ground picks up these signals to use as time reference. The accurate time can then be distributed to network nodes like servers, or telecom equipment to ensure they are synchronized. In mobile networks like 5G, synchronization is critical for coordinating base stations, avoiding interference, and delivering seamless services. Because GPS signals are weak and can be disrupted by jamming, spoofing, or indoor coverage limitations, many networks also combine GPS with network-based synchronization methods for more resilience.
How can networks achieve precise timing without GNSS?
Networks can achieve precise timing without GNSS by distributing time over the network itself. This is done by network-based synchronization which delivers accurate time from one, or multiple, time sources to all nodes in the network. This approach is increasingly important in environments where GNSS is unavailable or unreliable. By using network-based synchronization, operators can ensure accurate timing without depending solely on satellites or not depending at all if other time sources like atomic clocks are used.
