GPS/GNSS Rubidium Clock

The Smart Rubidium Oscillator with optional GPS/GNSS-integrated receiver (GRClok-1500) is ideal for mobile and wired telecom/datacom, military communications and surveillance, high-precision instruments, time and frequency systems, financial trading, big data timing, and navigational and positioning applications, ensuring accurate and reliable timing performance across various critical sectors.

SKU: GRClok-1500 Category:

The GRClok-1500 is a smart, compact, and cost-effective rubidium oscillator featuring an optional integrated GPS/GNSS receiver. It utilizes u-Blox’s advanced 50-channel LEA-6T GPS receiver with a 6-position engine and anti-jamming technology, supporting multi-constellation GNSS systems including GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, IRNSS, and BDS/COMPASS.

Designed to fit in a compact 1U chassis and compatible with the Stanford PRS10 model, it employs patented SmarTiming+ technology to discipline the GPS/GNSS reference at 1 ns resolution. This delivers advanced time and frequency features, exceptional performance, reliability, and extended operational life.
